If you made that into a pin, I’d fuck with it.

I dunno, “bootleg” at conventions is always about fake merch trying to trick people into thinking it’s real merch. You know, like bootleg Pokemon toys that’re just using the pattern designs of the official plush.

You have written and entire article taking offense at an entirely imagined slight against the Japanese people. Are you Japanese? No, right? Do you have experience or understanding of Japanese culture? If so you are not giving the impression.

TV and Film are enjoying a boom period and you’re complaining about torrenting killing jobs? Give me a break. That’s as absurd as claiming Youtube and Facebook are “free” to use, they quite clearly are not. I mean this argument is just so stupid, Youtube and Facebook employee thousands of people and make billions…

Yea.. because soft core porn and snuff films aimed at children are the same thing as privacy concerns.

HAIL Corporate: Pirating content has nothing to do with job creation. NOTHING.

Nah, there’s no pattern.

They torrent other content and complain they can’t get jobs.

lol what are you going on about

H3H3 brought this issue up like a year ago in his videos that get seen by millions of people, so YouTube has known for a while they just didn’t care.

If you absolutely have to resort to handing over your phone/tablet/whatever device to your child with youtube open, for the love of god, know what you’re letting them watch first. Pre-screen everything. Have a playlist that you’ve hand selected of videos that are age appropriate. Use the tools at your disposal to lock…

I follow this YouTube channel, Folding Ideas, that posted a video talking about these weird kid videos. It’s worth a watch:

Big Akira fan! I own all the original (English) release graphic novels. Here’s one of my photos from a couple of weeks ago. Not as artful as those you’ve posted but it shows one of my favorite panels: ascension of Kiyoko, Masaru, Takashi, and Akira. Still gives me the chills!

am i drooling? i think i’m drooling.

It supposedly has a huge audience of older, more conservative leaning folks. It exists in its own weird self-sustaining viewership bubble, similar to the Adam Sandler stuff. That those people probably don’t give a shit likely makes it even easier for Netflix to ignore this.

Cheating at a video game and trashing someone’s car are not equivalent. This argument is like comparing apples to roll-on, roll-off car carriers.

a. It’s a game at the end of the day.. not that serious.

normally I would be with you, but suing a rule breaker is a bit over the line. arguably a toxic community hurts profits by making the game unfun, and fuck cheaters, but thats using some subjective reasoning when determining real costs and losses.

I’m a parent, and I fully understand what this is talking about.
