looked up russians vs japanese piracy twt beef and its worse than i thought😭 it all started with japanese users being mad at discovering there's all those unofficial russian manga reading sites. russians tell them that there's not much licensed manga in russia to consume legally in the first place. japanese say its your problem, you should then go to japan and buy it legally. russians obviously go ??? it's crazy expensive to fly to japan plus we're sanctioned and often can't purchase foreign things with our money. japanese go full russophobia and say ahhh you evil aggressors deserve it for war. russians answer that even before the war this wouldn't be a solution. then brazilians join russians to fight on the side of piracy and started gotcha japanese with their war crimes and xenophobia. then other japanese users joined on the side of piracy and said anti-piracy japanese are hypocrites because its common in japan to listen to pirated western music. i guess this made japanese anti-piracy people even madder and they went all in saying crazy stuff like comparing piracy to rape. the more hilarious example was one japanese user trying to gotcha russians by threatening to pirate and read... dostoevsky🤣 sums up their level of ignorance regarding this whole topic.
To clarify:
The debate was started after TMO/TuMangaOnline a spanish pirate manga&webtoon was taken down. The fight was first with latam users and the russians came as support. Jp and kr users were incredibly racist and xenophobic (obviously) and how hilarious privileged they are and yet so dense to see it lol
My favorite interaction was between a brazilian and japanese. Goes like this:
🇯🇵"If I were to pirate a brazilian work would you be happy?"
To which they reply:
🇧🇷"Yes of course! I can send you PDFs if you're interested."
🇧🇷"Yes of course! I can
send you PDFs if
you’re interested.”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
