Note the absence of any sentiment like “because he has more money than me”.

Seems how? They didn’t say anything like that. You think the issue with this guy is because he’s rich and nothing else?

The funny thing is I’ve seen people saying the exact same thing you are to people laughing at Charlie Kirk getting killed, while doing their best to ignore all the things he stood for, said, and did. Right down to immediately accusing the person of adopting (an incorrect idea of) Nazism by not valuing all lives as precious. Just think about the brainpower behind people who think those laughing at Charlie Kirk are like the Nazis but not Charlie “Civil Rights was a mistake” Kirk.

There’s gotta be a term for people who get all righteous about treating all lives as precious while they ignore that the person in question actively makes the world worse.

Why are you telling someone who looks down on CEOs that he should also hate Jews alongside the Nazis?

They would have recouped faster if they had the foresight to publish the game on PC as well as PlayStation. Kojima Productions made money on Death Stranding pretty quick because the PC sales were very good. Sony only got it from PlayStation sales.

They were almost a monopoly, Xbox was circling the drain. Sony pulled the trigger too early.

Been happening across many public trackers, and I’ve even seen it happen in Funfile. Best to filter out .lnk, .exe, and .zipx filetypes from your download client.

So you’re pretending you didn’t say all art are ideas so therefore they can’t be stolen now that you’ve realized how silly of a statement that was. But now you’ve moved on to other silly statements.

Scraping art for AI usage is not merely making copies. You would need to be woefully ignorant of how LLMs, AI companies, and people have been scraping work for AI usage for the past 5 years to believe that it’s tantamount to taking a photo of a painting and not used any further.

The laws and norms of copyright usage have not been properly applied to AI scraping at all either. You’re just referring to a poor understanding of copyright history as if that will magically making scraping all art, content, and IP be the justifiable thing to do, while ignoring who all are behind doing such a thing in the first place. You’re arguing that what OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Twitter, and Microsoft are doing is actually anti-capitalist practice by stealing all content they can, while also saying they’re not stealing because art are ideas and therefore all art is up for grabs.

You should take a step back and realize you’ve sided with the capitalist companies against an independent creator here in order to suggest that it’s the artist who’s wrong and the big capitalist and it’s the big trillion-dollar companies that are correct and anti-capitalist.

Scrapist is a name shared by many tools that scrape webpages and content as well. The content of the comic is not about sexual assault at all though. It’s clearly all about consent.

The only thing idiotic here is that art=idea and therefore no art can be stolen. To prove this, go take some art from your nearest museum. I’ll wait.

But tell me more about how stealing someone’s art for use by AI is an authoritarian idea created by the capitalist class, and how the idea that all art is up for grabs by anyone so it’s totally okay to use it for AI is not the idea from the capitalist class. This is the kind of explanation that deserves some popcorn.

It’s really telling that the people who are crawling out of the woodwork to brag about how much they hate Pizzacake don’t seem to know the difference between consent and sexual assault.

Imagine using sexual assault as a pithy justification getting upset about a webcomic.

It was about consent anyway, which apparently you can’t differentiate from sexual assault somehow.

And then the way ICE treats nurses and mothers.

If you can’t complain on the internet then there’s nothing to say? Interesting perspective.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the raging stupidity and lack of respect.

That’s not how it goes for Tyler Durden

I once saw a company block Firefox through its corporately mandated antivirus software.

I stopped because I don’t have a hatred of these comics, and I was interested in the comments.

I’m not doing either of those things. There’s no way to read my comment and get to either of those two conclusions without making something up out of thin air.

So just scroll on by. You chose to open up the comment section for the comic. Nobody made you do that.

Heavily modded Skyrim

Gamergate was literally a proof of concept for MAGA because gamers are everything these groups want from a potential recruit. Just point them at a boogeyman and they’ll go apeshit.
