Yeah, that’s because moral relativism is cool when you live in a free and decent society.

The irony is that you can afford to debate morality when society is moral and you’re not facing an onslaught of inhumanity in the form of fascism and unchecked greed that’s threatening any hope for a future.

But when shit hits the fan, morality becomes pretty fucking clear. And that’s what’s happening right now. Philosophical debates about morality are out the window when you’re facing an existential threat.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn’t be nearly as popular.

They’re shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through “illegal” means.
