Like every time I read the comments for any movie/show that features anything other than a white dude as the lead, everyone is like “tHe w0Ke cRoWd WiLL LoVE ThIs!!1!”
It’s especially bad for anything Disney, which according to them, is a communist factory for LGBTQIA+ PEDO GROOMING or some other conspiracy nonsense. Granted, Disney is fully deserving of scathing criticism, but for different reasons.
Has anyone else noticed this? It’s just weird to me because I view torrenting as a very anti-capitalist activity, but that seems to be lost on them?
Leftists torrent because they understand that intellectual property is theft.
Chuds torrent because they don’t think the rules should apply to them.
Liberals sanctimoniously refuse to torrent because they respect the rights of artists (who they cannot distinguish from copyright corporations).
because everyone likes free stuff, and fascists typically have less going on in real life than human beings.
we took the wrong lesson from the rightward slide of every part of the internet 10 years ago. the solution wasn’t to make moderation good, it was to get people to stop wasting their time on this dumb bullshit.
Centralised email-based blacklist that crosses over all websites would work but not in control of capitalists lmao.
Basically nothing works controlled by capitalists I can offer no solutions other than removing the capitalists.
Never forget chuds are obnoxious and loud so they’ll be the first to vent their ‘grievances’
might have to do with torrenting mostly occupying a certain age group and demographic now. Younger crowds don’t torrent, they either don’t pirate at all or use streaming.
i remember torrenting and piracy groups being the same as what you’re talking about even like 20 years ago. They always had a large amount of weird libertarian tech bro chuds involved. Every piracy oriented IRC channel I was in would have regular talks about chud adjacent conspiracy theories or they’d casually throw around racist slurs. It took until gamergate to coalesce them into more focused political derangement though. I remember getting kicked out of a torrenting group in like 2008 because I asked them to stop saying slurs.
so I guess what I’m saying is torrenting is probably full of the same people as it was back then
