It's just scientific fact that they love being slaves to corporations unlike us, the proudly independent and individualistic Westerners

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yes that was a cringe comment so who knows if the story is true.
But regarding the point over piracy it is not entire impossible, you know Japan is one of the places where they will criminaly persecute people for piracy and I totaly understand, specialy if you're not particularly tech savvy, someone become paranoid over being put into some random criminal "investigation" for watching pirated shit on Discord.
The part about "Japanese culture" aside, the discord story is plausible to me as pathetic as it sounds.
Yeah, Japan's copyright laws fucking suck ass and I can't blame anyone living there for sweating about getting caught in their sham of a criminal justice system
I’ve had so many weebs try to tell me that Japan doesn’t give a shit about copyright laws based solely on the way the names of certain stands from JoJo’s bizarre adventure had to be localized in the west lol.
I think it stems more from how a lot of companies turn a bit of a blind eye towards fan creations when in reality it'd just be far more damage to their public image going after stuff for close to no actual gain. Though from rumors I've heard the Yakuza connected with horse racing were making threats towards people that drew the girls from Uma Musume naked which is kinda funny TBH.
Yakuza
is hilarious.
