  • I’m not. Because I find that the movement possesses extremist views and perspectives that I simply cannot follow.

    I do support the rights for women to have abortions, their body their choice, to have more equality and other things and I don’t support misogyny. But I also do not condone the idea that men are all bad because a woman experienced just a couple of bad apples. I don’t think women should have advantageous edges over men, because again, the idea is about equality, not about getting a leg over someone based on gender.




  • I’m going to have to step in and correct you on something because I’ve followed the news of TorrentFreak for years and noted how the entertainment industry has focused their tactics.

    From the 2000s through early 2010s, they went after everyone and I mean everyone. Everyone who both downloaded and distributed what they considered copyright infringement. They’ve targeted many people, including people who both were old and didn’t have internet but sued them anyways for thousands of dollars.

    However at somepoint in the mid-2010s, they changed tactics. They know it’s a losing battle to go after so many downloaders because piracy was more adopted. So, they decided to go after distributors and those who stream what they see as illegal.

    I’m pretty positive though that if they still wanted to, they’ll take down a downloader, if you make a blip on the radar. I don’t exactly know what it’ll take but it has to be significant enough to grab their attention. But for now, they’re after site owners, streamers, distributors and notorious individuals who house a lot of downloaded content.








  • I’m going to have to answer this based on my personal experience and I’d know because your detailing is very similar.

    Mainstream content reinforces the idea that the world and society all but feel manufactured. They’re the things that got chosen to be popular, they’re what is going to be market, they’re what is going to be talked about and so on and so forth. Sometimes it is chosen but other times, there’s definitely a formula in the works that just gravitates people instantly.

    That’s all fine and well. But if you’re an individual who’ve developed their own tastes and you’re not getting in any engagement with anyone about those tastes, you’re going to get lost in the fold very quickly because you’re not part of what everyone considers the ‘in’ thing.

    Your last bit tells me that it’s a you-thing. You dropped everything that you liked, because why? Because you saw merchandise being made in a store? But it’s like, did anyone force what you enjoyed down your throat? You’re waiting for the hype to die down? I don’t get that, because all that you’re doing, is limiting your personal enjoyment and your personal moderation about how much you enjoy something.

    You don’t have to go out, buy the merchandise, buy anything that so much has your favorite thing on it. You don’t have to engage with the mass volume of the community that gets noisy to engage. You’ve sucked out whatever interest that was left over things that are optional. It’s one thing if a series changes because of fan demand, that I can understand and it has happened to people’s favorite series.

    But if a series is still going for what it is, unaltered and naturally enjoyed but still popular but you want to sit it out anyways? That’s kindof on you.
