okay this one's kinda random because it was a while back but here goes.
a while back, i was on the reddit and responded to someones post about wearing the camp galloway t-shirt with something like "aw, i was so upset that i couldn't get it, so i'm probably gonna order it bootleg. its the best i can get." and IMMEADIATELY like 3 people jumped me telling me how bootlegs are sooo harmful to the council and that i was horrible for even considering it, and how i need to actually support the show instead of taking money away from it. people. 1. it was limited edition. it's gone now. me buying it elsewhere takes 0 money away from them.
2. i literally joined the fandom AFTER they went off sale. what the heck was i supposed to do? invent time travel?
3. its not like the council is starving over here! yes, i love the show and i want to support it, but it's not like by buying a t-shirt im condemning them and their families to poverty i feel similarly about people pirating the show if they can't afford patreon. theres thousands of patreon members, and lots of people aren't able to spare 60$ a year for a podcast, no matter how great it is. before wonderlust, there was a 6 month period where people who didn't have patreon got NOTHING. i get it, jrwi is important to you (and me!) and you want to protect it, but jeez, it's not like it's in dire need of assistance over here
