    You can’t just agree to disagree with reality. Whether you think that their demonstrably false statements and predatory actions are acceptable is a matter of opinion on which we can agree or disagree, but that they’re doing it is indisputable.

    I will however accept it as an implicit admission that you have no counter and honor your request to be allowed to be wrong about it in peace, assuming that you don’t have any more industry propaganda to regurgitate.

      I’m pretty sure you don’t dictate reality kiddo. I’m disagreeing with YOU.

        I’m not dictating anything, I’m describing well-documented industrywide actions and refuting known propaganda from bad actors.

        That’s the beauty of objective reality: it’s true whether you agree with it or not.

            There goes the bullshit binary thinking lol. I never claimed that all pirates are invariably right about everything, as that would be preposterous.

            That being said, though, the abuse, profiteering, propaganda and gaslighting that has infested the entertainment industry like a cancer is much worse than anything pirates ever did.

                  The minute I disagreed with them, any chance of a fruitful discussion left the building. Pirates are about as bad as the ACAB kids. You can’t disagree with them with our being insulted and fed bullshit anecdotal nonsense as arguments.
