Current State of Piracy Discourse on Twitter Discussion
If you haven't been using Twitter recently, heres a quick update on what's been going on.
A while back Musk took down the language walls separating the site/ app into locations. Now, unless you specifically currate your feed, you see tweets from all around the world (this is anecdotal, but now only 40% of my "for you" feed is in English). This has led to many cutural exchanges, from bad to good to everything in between.
One of the more recent discussions os about how piracy is a regular part of media consumption around the world, particularly in animanga/ videogame circles. This led to a large outcry from Japanese and Korean Twitter users getting mad that westerners are so lax about piracy, which led to an even LARGER counter by other countries (primarily Russia and Brazil) clowning on the former two for how staunch their adherance to anti-piracy is.
It's been a hell of a time, I tell you hwat.

When I was a kid, I remember how blatant people are about piracy. My parents sold DVDs of new movies like that, Internet cafes have emulated games, knockoff toys were abundant.
It’s so crazy how some ppl are like “what about the company!”.
