why do japs have such a wildly different take on piracy and preservation compared to the rest of the world?is it the consequence of having a high trust society?
>>733881849Respect for artists and belief that they would own and have say over their work.iirc there was a prototype for a castlevania game that was auctioned off and japanese fans ended up trying to buy it just to avoid it being dumped online
japan is a collectivist society like china. anons will never get it. most non-white people still operate under "ape together strong"
>>733881849it's not like all japs are anti-piracy but game devs being anti-piracy has always been commonand piracy-gaijins got massive hate in japan since they were bragging about playing zelda totk before it came out in japan while talking shit about nintendo
gaijins were simply too cocky japs only responding to gaijins picking a fight in a sense
>>733882694chinese are collectivist too but they probably pirate more than anyone else, or at least they're neck and neck with the brazilians
>>733881849theyre corporate cucks
They don't, it's all about saving face. Everyone there is pirating shit, they just won't talk about it because it's impolite, and they'll sperg out at anyone who is public about it because it makes them look bad.
>>733882694isolated tiny island logic and culture built around it.
Japs care more about doing what is "correct" than about doing what is right. They are Ameritards on opposite day, their culture of extreme shame makes them into wusses.
>He is unaware of "face"Shameful
>>733881849>How to fk am i going to buy the game if it's not available in my country? Not everyone have the luxuryThen I guess you don't have the luxury of playing the game, either
>>733883221Well specifically he doesn't have the luxury to do it without breaking the law
>>733883221>>733883351Then the artist didn't want you to play it. He or the company he worked with didn't intend for you to be able to buy it and you're circumventing that
>>733883413You diminish the work.
you know, nowadays typical gaijins be like>never pay any money to anime, manga, and jap games>and yet moral fagging on anime, manga, and jap games anytime they canand you think you won't get any hate?you should admit lots of gaijins are pretty scummy
>>733881849It's called virtue signalling. You don't know what they think in private about it but they will say the "correct" opinion online.
>>733883053>Everyone there is pirating shit, they just won't talk about it because it's impoliteI have trouble believing this. I get the feeling their corporate worship is no less genuine (if not more) then your average western disney/marvel fag.
>>733882178Artists don't own and have say over their work. The companies they worked for have that.
because gaming is a japanese industryit's more personal for them when you don't buy and get it from the spoongirl
>>733881849Cucked goyim race
they believe objects are vessels of gods so copying something is literally killing gods
>>733881849>whybecause their laws can buttfuck you hard, that's it
Retards will justify giving hundreds of dollars to some dude on ebay for a used copy of a game that isn't being sold anymore officially by saying "piracy is a hecking crime" or "I'm not brown".
>>733883659Japs definitely pirate shit a vtuber accidentally leaked his pirated nipple torture porn a few years ago, he got a slap on the wrist from his company and kink shamed on Twitter by one of the JAV stars so he came out on top really.
>>733881849japan's total autism about piracy is just as ridiculous as america's autism about a sexy DRAWING of a 17 year old anime character
it's okay to piratejust shut up and stop getting offended when told not to pirate
I don't understand why they don't just bring old games back so people can buy them. People want to buy their games.
>>733884245>noooo you can't heckin' disagree with my opinionerino
>pirate old game>dev doesn't get my money>buy old game from store>it's a secondhand purchase so the dev still doesn't get my moneyThere's no difference other than "le morality".
these japs been annoying lately on internet after sanae became the PM. like they've been attacking gaijin non stop even on /int/ and /sp/
>>733884158obviously outliers exist I meant in general
gaijins are just simply spoiledgaijins think like they are the victims when jap devs are anti-piracy
>>733884057>giving hundreds of dollars to some dude on ebay for a used copy of a game that isn't being sold anymore officiallythat is retarded>piracy is a hecking crime>I'm not brownboth trueyou don't HAVE to play that game, you can go on about your life and spend your time in thousands of other ways, and if you steal it in spite of the fact that you don't have to play it, you are brown, or at least spiritually brown
Do people even need to engage in discourse surrounding piracy? ToTK pre-release piracy is exactly how this conversation started to turn way more defensive. No one needed it that early, and everyone bragging about it might as well have been some glowie false flag to stir the pot. Weird comparison but it's similar to the AI fags that go around publicly posting their nsfw prompts of real celebrities and low level internet famous people. You're ruining things for everyone even trying to engage with this discussion purely because the topic is so needlessly inflammatory. And then you wonder why things get nerfed, or why billionaire companies start swinging their big law (money) dick around. Just have your private groups and keep quiet. The Japanese probably follow the moral code of conduct on this, but I'm willing to bet there's significant portion of them that just know not to say anything and support piracy.
>>733884379They keep trying to portray her as Japanese Trump but she is actually way more friendly to immigration than most. Loads of Westerners don't get that Japanese racism is way more about other East Asians/SEA and not other nationalities.
>>733884057In japan you actually can buy old games for reasonable prices. Because the market isn't entirely owned by speculators. The market functions, so piracy isn't necessary. If you have a working shower, you're not going to understand the retard bathing in the fountain at your local park.
A japenis loser would stand there and let a Elite Human Capital migrant murder him rather than break the rules and j-walk across and empty road with no traffic.
>>733884417>no counterargument, just insultsconcession acceptedyou lost ww2 btw
>>733881849they're functionally retarded even worse than zoomers. they can't pirate because they're incapable of it.
>>733884379so is she gonna kill japan or not. I keep seeing wildly conflicting views, that she's a jew puppet that will flood them with indians, or she's a right wing extremist that will flush them out.
>>733881849japs are literal corporate slaves. their entire society revolves around corporations. piracy hurts corporations so piracy is the devil.
They have the worst gaming culture. Pay for trash games, corporate bootlickers. it's a miracle that they have the best devs in the world.
>>733884379i don't go to /int/ anymore but that's literally one guy on /sp/ and he's false flagging thoi fucking hate gaijins for falling fot it every fucking timealso he's doing it for YEARS on /pol/ and /sp/
>>733884435What's that? Couldn't hear you over my 2 tb worth of pirated games. Cope and seethe, faggot.
>>733884492just stop playing jap games then retard
>>733884525But I thought asians were geniuses?
>>733884492>>no counterargument, just insultsyou just described most gaijins ever
>>733884465>ToTK pre-release piracy is exactly how this conversation started to turn way more defensive. No one needed it that early, and everyone bragging about it might as well have been some glowie false flag to stir the pot.>Weird comparison but it's similar to the AI fags that go around publicly posting their nsfw prompts of real celebrities and low level internet famous people.the common denominator is jeets
>>733884636the funny thing is this op is literally him
>>733881849cringe<-- BASED
Twitter, ESPECIALLY jp twitter is all about optics and saving face but people absolutely still pirate things over there they just arent braggadocious about it.
>>733881849Japanese people cannot into computersThis has been known for 30 years now
>>733884467i read japanese twitter since i can read kanji, they've been attacking everyone basically. china/korea is no brainer but i saw a lot of anti west in general. recently the JJK stuff, the spy x family stuff (basically they're insisting lloyd is japanese looking, not white), the winter olympic stuff, switch 2, etc
Gaben's quote for piracy is true in most cases for most pirates. Make the service not shit, not retardily priced and most people will pay for it (if theyre reasonable human beings in a reasonable siutation). Cunts will do it anyway outside of that but even this is a small sin compared to how overblown Japs make it out to be and is more morally grey in most cases. The irony is their main cultural industries blowing up internationally is due to piracy to fill a desire by the market.
>>733884467She tightened immigration restrictions enough to put me further away from moving there... Maybe it'll at least keep browns and Chinese out longer.
>>733881849Pirating games is just like pirating music or movies. If I don't have money, I'll pirate it, I don't give a fuck if it's "wrong", I only care about myself.Thinking giving money to someone else just because they created something is right is dumb, anyway.
Test
>>733881849Because in japan you get jailed forever if you pirate or try to preserve the game on your PC. They live in fear.You cant even mod your anime figures you have bought there. They will jail you for messing with their copyrighted thing even if you bought it.
>>733881849what kind of childish reasoning is that
>>733881849Asians are called bug people for a reason. They're unironically huge cattle. If you think the corpo shills on /v/ are annoying just wait until you see the Japanese version of them. They practically worship them over there. If Nintendo asked them to sacrifice their newborn for a new console they would happily accept.
>>733881849You have to remember, to the japanese you are the low iq third world immigrant who acts like a self obsessed monkey
>>733881849Part of it is Jap culture is used to impermanence. It comes with being turbofucked by natural disasters on a constant basis. Things just get destroyed forever. So they don't feel like anyone deserves to be able to preserve something forever. If you can't play an old game, big deal, you're a whiny child for wanting to, play something that is available.
>>733884000meanwhile>don't mind me just pirating this god to install it into another shrine :) the copy is as authentic and complete as the original btw
>download a movie in Japan>even the Yakuza report you to the police
>>733884379>>733884467>japs are 10 years behind american trends againlike clockwork

>>733882031Kek they called you chinks
>>733887228they're not wrong
>>733883659Go to Japan and find out for yourself.
>>733881849
There's an intrinsic irony in Japs getting mad at piracy when their entire industry was built on stealing and copying western products
>>733884402They just aren’t as open about it because it is against the noble samurai code of honour.
japs are so pro corporation that they literally let nintendo ban super famicom floppy drives/copiers
>>733881849>OP is a faggot and cherrypicks posts on twattercan you kill yourself OP
>>733881849japs are literal bootlickers, just look at horse porn
>>733881849They have some cultural stuff about art being impermanent or something like that
>>733881849Japs are know to be massive corporate bootlickers. They will give their lives for the companies they work for.
>>733888665shame he got banned before i could save his other response>I live in America land of the free suck my balls
>>733884379>we need to spread anti-immigrant, nativist, and racist rhetoric online!>....>wait, the Japanese can't do that to me!Is there anyone more retarded right wing weeb
>>733885024What are their thoughts on the Gachiakuta retardation?
>>733881849>have you seen their society? they are totally cucked
>>733881849Genuinely, I think it has a lot to do with them having a healthy second hand market for video games. In Japan, you can go to your local Book Off and get pretty much any of the major classics for a couple hundred yen each. In the United States, getting any of the same games takes a several hundred dollar eBay purchase. If Japan's second hand market was as fucked as America's, I suspect they would be much more open to piracy.
I try to buy my games, but circumstances make it difficult, and I end up having to pirate them anyway. Look at Chrono Trigger for example.>I CAN legally buy the game on steam>but it's a buggy, broken mess that has crashed on me multiple times>BUT it's the only legal way to purchase the game, without spending 400 bucks on amazon>so I buy it on steam, then emulate the SNES versionTell me, is there anything morally wrong with this? Besides depriving some asshole scalper 400 dollars, but I'm having a hard time sympathizing with them.
>>733889969Assuming you had that queued up before I posted >>733889789, that's pretty uncanny.
>>733881849>why do japs have such a wildly different take on piracy and preservation compared to the rest of the world?They don'tIf you torrent new eroge release 90% of the peers are JapaneseThey're just not dumb enough to boast about it in public
>>733890082I didn't see your post before I posted. What a coincidence.
>>733882031>your behavior is no different from china peopleBrutality.
>>733885024>basically they're insisting lloyd is japanese looking, not whitekek what the fuck
>>733890248I've had the piracy discussion with 2 of my JP friends and both of them thought it was among one of the worst things you can do online. I also brought up the topic of stuff like Etsy creators as well as artists that sell stuff in artist alleys at conventions themed after popular games and characters for their own profit, which they also thought was a horrible thing to do. Respecting the gigantic corporations and their rules is a very big thing for most Japanese people, since breaking rules in general is a pretty big no-no.
They are brain damaged in thinking a corporation is good simply because it is a collective group. If you are a weird loner everyone will distrust you and if you murder someone they'll say its because you were a weird loner. However, if you join a Yakuza outfit with an office, or you just form a "We're going to murder some people club" at school with 4 other fellow students, you'll be looked at much more kindly because you were part of a group - even a bad group, but a group. Its part of the damage left over from post WWII. Also the Japanese love piracy, they just know you don't talk about it except with others who also love piracy. These were the people who circa Y2K had >Winny>Perfect Darkwhich basically threw off anyone who didn't have a 100mbps or faster connection which, if you didn't live ON a university campus in the US or a handful of (mostly Nordic) EU countries that had public broadband , you wouldn't be allowed on..
>>733890526>I also brought up the topic of stuff like Etsy creators as well as artists that sell stuff in artist alleys at conventions themed after popular games and characters for their own profit, which they also thought was a horrible thing to do.Literally Comiket.
>>733890526>I also brought up the topic of stuff like Etsy creators as well as artists that sell stuff in artist alleys at conventions themed after popular games and characters for their own profit, which they also thought was a horrible thing to do.This is the entirety of Comiket though and they're fine
>>733881849my jap is shit but the first one says becuase you have no money you can play the pirated copy? so its fine? cool thx japs
Reminder that many older Japanese films only still exist because they had international versions that were preserved.Japanese have absolutely 0 knowledge or desire about cultural media preservation.
>>733881849japs are retarded as fuckthey censor their porn with mosaics lmao
>>733890651>>733890673Maybe they're just turbo autistic, but both of them outright refuse to accept art commissions for games from existing properties. They've even refused to do paid artwork of Final Fantasy 14 OCs because it somehow goes against Square Enix's terms of service to profit off their property.
>>733889789I once tried to find copies of Chrono Trigger from japanese sites, amazon, ebay, and others. You know the problem? They're all filled with knockoffs, bootlegs and illegal reproductions. So you could get scammed by buying an illegitimate copy, and in the eyes of the law, it's no better than if you pirated.
>>733890764Funny how old as shit stuff illegally uploaded on Youtube with gaijin subtitles usually have mostly Japanese comments
>>733884989Nope,they only ever design the best technology and cars with their minds
>>733881849part of it is jappas love the idea of being part of a secret club or having some kind of exclusivity. if people can just participate in the same things without 'paying their dues' what's the point?
>>733890898Many works are stuck in some sort of perpetual limbo where no one knows who has the rights so even if they had the content, they wouldn't be able to sell it.
>>733881849They’re mad because all the video games and anime/manga piracy has probably equated to the absence of billions and billions of dollars from the Japanese economy. So their attitude towards pirates is “Fuck off”
>>733887739I think that has way more to do with a society that punishes the guy who was being robbed or shunning him for being the guy standing there while someone else robbed the store etc, which is seen as insanity elsewhere in the world. The idea that anon, working at some konbini, should feel so guilty to great company-sama because he was held at knife/gunpoint and turned over $100-ish from the till , so he goes home and takes his own life for inconveniencing the president of the company who runs the zaibatsu that owns the konbini while he lives in a single tatami rug size apartment is just a totally different level of insanity.
>>733891010In real life that doesn't happen at all unless that company wants to go out of business in a hurry, even in Japan. People on Twitter just have turbo autism so they invent scenarios to get mad at, and Japanese are no exception.
>>733884158Kek wtf? Sauce please.
>>733884978This guy actually knows. iirc there was some minor blow up years ago where either nyaa or sadpanda showed that they had tons of traffic from japanese IPs and there were a lot of copes about it being foreigners living there.
>>733889789i know millennials ruined the market over covid but i feel like the bigger reason for this is yjay games in the west are over half the planet, games in japan are just in japannot only that but japan is so small it's simply gotta be easier to consolidate this kind of shit in stores
>>733890996I wouldn't have watched a single anime ever if it wasn't for free and easy access on the internet.After that I bought some bluerays of the ones I thought were worth it.I caused hundreds of """lost sales""", but also spent money on it. Without piracy I would have spent $0 on it.CEOs and bootlickers pretend this isn't true and that I eventually would have caved in, but I think they are retarded.
>>733885024>they're insisting lloyd is japanese looking, not white)Really negroes lmao.
>>733891390Can't even import games anymore since there's too high of a risk of so many things going wrong.>tariffs+import fees skyrocketing the price>package gets lost by idiots flying the cargo, or delivering it by sea>customs agents seizing it until you can prove that it's "authentic" aka say goodbye to several weeks and hundreds of dollars just to prove that it isn't a counterfeitI learned my lesson from that guy who tried to have a rare pokemon game (still sealed and inbox) shipped across the country, and customs completely destroyed it.
A lot of Japanese people, though by no means all of them, are pathetically cucked to their masters, they really buy the shit they are told about them being worthy of respect and having earned it in 2026, many of them follow laws they don't agree with like good little cucks willingly etc.
>>733881849I saw a story on /vr/. I want to believe that among the jap cattle there's a few who care even if it comes down to hoarding with extra steps.
>>733891390that's shitty, i remember my first few ebay purchases were from random game shops in japan so i could get things like the final fantasy tactics soundtrack on cd and it was pretty simple in the early 00s, though it took a lifetime to arrive
>>733882178>japanese fans ended up trying to buy it just to avoid it being dumped onlineHow is this any different than those guys with rare arcade cabinets that freak out when people ask for a dump of the ROM?
>>733881849I'm pretty sure piracy is an actual crime in Japan
>>733883659There are a lot of websites hosting anime and manga in Japanese, they wouldn't exist if japs weren't using them
>>733885024>basically they're insisting lloyd is japanese looking, not white>Blonde haired.>Blue eyed.>From a country named WESTalia.Surely this is a very retarded, very vocal minority.
>>733892005>game hoarder, anywhere >:(>game hoarder, japan |:O
don't care. have a 72tb nas with 1000+ movies, 300+ tv shows/anime and almost every single video game up to the ps2 generation
>>733885812Honestly this would unironically explain their views on piracy. Pirated copy maintains the same spirit as the original.
Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”
>>733882031Did they not understand the point he was making?
>pirate mangaNobody gives a fuck>pirate animeNobody gives a fuck>pirate visual artNobody gives a duck>pirate movieNobody gives a fuck>pirate musicNobody gives a fuck>pirate a video gameInstant wall of text shrieking
Japan doesn't even have parody or free use laws, they are very autistic about copyright stuff, look how many Japanese artists plaster their accounts and art work with watermarks "DO NOT REUPLOAD OR EDIT" etc
Japan has an extensive 2nd hand market so they could just walk down the corner and buy a game and console they want to play for cheap. For the rest of the world, this isnt a realistic solution. Also Nintendo successfully banned game rentals in Japan and helped push a lot of laws that made game copyrights in Japan a huge pain in the butt for piracy.
>one side is turbo-autist right Japanese nationalists>other side is 70iq browns outraged at being poorHmm. A strange game.
>>733883221There is zero difference whatsoever between me playing and me not playing. Whether I played or not, the developed would not have received my money.If the only change is the question of whether I have played it, then the only argument one would have is that they specifically don't want me to play it. Such a defense is lacking in morality, as it is a defense of depriving someone of entertainment that does not negatively impact them in any way whatsoever for no particular reason.
>>733883136>>73388305390% of those replies are pretty much anonymousface barely appliesthey really do believe thatit's hard to believe for westerners who feel entitled to someone else's work, or those who can't think about the bigger picture, but japs really are just like that
>>733894721>he talks about stealing>when japan has a thriving used games market (aka stealing since devs don't get a cent)what do you have to say for yourselves shameless cockroaches. why are you playing old games instead of buying the latest slop

The Japanese race is literally unable to think outside the box, on top of being a conformist ant hive
>>733895065NTA but I always thought of that as them being less jews about dumb shit like property rights. It's why they can crank out a Super Robot Wars game like every two years while something like a Marvel and DC crossover has gaps spanning in the decades.
>>733895007>highest amount of creative works per capita>thriving original and fanwork scene
Japanese are Honourary Aryans. This is known.
>>733881849>is it the consequence of having a high trust society?They aren't even the most high trust country. The thing you're misattributing as "high trust" is their cuckold tendencies. Japs are the single most cucked people of all time.
>>733884379Japan is as a rule 10 years behind the west. They are just entering their 2016 Trump era, where they think they will make Japan great again. In another 10 years they'll realize the economy continues to suck, their government is Jewish, it's all a scam.
It's important for people like that to exist. There needs to be way more normies and paypiggies that exist, as that proportionally keeps piracy into a niche - therefore it never goes seriously into the public eye, and corpos/law enforcement won't take it THAT seriously.
>>733881849>is it the consequence of having a high trust society?Lol
>>733889969regardless of anyone's stance on piracy i dont see how anyone could have a problem with piracy/emulation to a different platform as long as you actually own the material in one real form or another. like if i own a dvd or vhs of a movie, there shouldnt be any problem if i download a copy on my pc. there is literally zero logical counterargument.
TEST
>>733895728Japs paypigged so much they're now poorer than South Korea
>>733881849>>733882031Here's the thing :It IS stealing.*AND*You SHOULD be quiet about it.That is all.
>>733895805Precisely. I believe in paying creators what they're due, but sometimes you gotta work around the system incase of problems. Like if anyone here has a PS3, they know firsthand that any game bought on PSN does not transfer to the PS4 or Ps5, so their games are ticking time bombs until their PS3s die out. OR you could just pirate the games and get around the issue.
>>733895949The courts would beg to differ.https://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-banned-from-using-piracy-and-theft-terms-in-hotfile-trial-131129/
>>733895778lmao.>our Japanese lies are honourable and highly esteemed>their foreign lies are ugly and commonplace
>>733895805The belief is always that you're up to no good. The law's stance on this for example operates on the assumption that you have that pirated copy with an intent to sell/redistribute aka depriving profits from the poor billion dollar company.
>>733895560>"nips and turks are honorary aryans">"well time to kill 5 million white christians">the fattest dumbest white christians on twitter would build a time travel for a chance to suckle his one nut

>>733895778>Asking liars if they often tell lies This is like some really shitty parable
>>733895949True
>>733881849They're the only truly good race on the planet
>>733881849The Japanese will never admit to piracy unless they're behind seven proxies and on futaba channel.
>>733896230Welcome to law. It's 100% hypocritical. For example, "flight risks" and "Innocent until proven guilty" are two trains of thought that cannot co-exist. Forbidding an "innocent" man from travel already establishes a bias leaning towards guilt.
>>733881849Considering Japs have stolen billions of white inventions and copied our art and culture, it's perfectly ok to pirate everything Japs make.
>>733896042blatant and unabashed hypocrisy in favor of your own race is a good thing and I refuse to pretend it isn't
>>733896212yes they do lol, look at the swarms for big chinese vidya
>>733884379Good, they're full rajeesh.
>>733881849i hope japan survives the birthrate crisis.
I made this picture like 10 years ago so I forget what game its from but these are IPs from a torrent for a japanese game. It was around the time some japs were getting uppity about piracy and how they were too honorable to engage in such a practice. They're the same as everyone else, they're just more afraid of getting caught doing it.
>>733897051They're not even the lowest right now.
>>733897103all gaijin.
>>733897185Who's the lowest?
>>733882031>buy used game>none of the money goes to the people who made it>lend the game to 10 of my friends>10 friends got to experience the game without paying>sell my second hand game for the price i got it for>i got to experience the game for freewhat's the jap's excuse for this?
>>733896212If you think that nationalism or support for their fellow chinkoman will stop them from doing so, you haven't met any chinks in your life.

>>733881849Whenever I seed anime I see a lot of JP IPs. It seems like people on Twitter are being obnoxious attention starved faggots as usual while pirates don't give a fuck and go on with their day.

>>733882031>you speak English, but your behaviour is no different from China peoplekek based
>>733893878Japs censor porn. There's no reason to take anything they say or do seriously. They are quite literally afraid of vaginas.
>>733881849Game devs in general are anti-piracy because that's their bread and butter. They're not going to respond well with some obnoxious retard on twitter going "WELL WHAT ABOUT X SITUATION".Sharing game files becomes more important for game preservation as time goes on, and physical copies become rare or degrade. But that doesn't mean you should go bug the creators about how you want a free copy or some shit. It's that sort of behavior that makes them crack down on piracy sites. Keep your fucking mouth shut.
>>733882178>Respect for artistswtf anon, I spat my drink AHAHAHAHA
Denuvo was gifted to humanity by the LORD as punishment for pirates being annoying online.
The two things you need to keep in mind are that Japanese language media is a nearly closed market unlike English stuff that has always had outside demand as far back as PAL/NTSC differences and has been accelerated by globalism, and as such old games and hardware are in affordable circulation in Japan. Just buy a Saturn and the game for $60 then sell them back after, no problem.
Denuvo Force JUST ANNIHILATED /v/exico's leader "El Myrient"
>>733882031I thought China was wealthy. Do they really steal $20 games like SEA poorfags?
>>733898331lol laffed
>>733897765Well that law was put into place by Americans, no Jap politician wants to be *that guy* who campaigns to uncensor porn at this point
>>733881849You know the "Piracy is a service problem" quote? Japs who watch, read, and play exclusively Jap shit have never experienced a service problem anywhere near what we do. It's like when a woman complains about getting hit on too much, she literally has no capacity to understand how a man who was last complemented 8 years ago feels.
>>733898464japs are allergic to repealing laws and regulations. anyone who rocks the boat gets axed. as the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down
Reminder that in Japan capitalism works and corporations are their friends. That's why they dont want to hurt them because they know each pirated copy hurts a corporation in Japan that actively takes care of the Japanese people.
>>733882031Stealing isn't piracy (copying). Simple as.
>>733898281They make it impossible to import stuff, sadly. I've never seen a jap retailer sell anything to foreigners for a good price. Not without there being a catch.
I mean I don't get why you faggots are generalizing japs when game devs are likewise also faggots elsewhere and it's second nature to disregard twitter faggots from the west's stupid opinionYou can literally just open nyaa, take any torrent from the raw anime or raw literature categories, snatch them, and observe how 95% of the swarm are japanese IPsJaps pirate just as much as anywhere else does, they just have shitty laws that will actually punish them irl and live in a society that incentivizes not standing out and also virtue signalling
>>733884158>kink shamedJaps don't know what a vagina looks like, or a dick. It's perfectly understandable that they start going after nipples.
>>733881849Japanese are cattle. But it takes a special kind of retard to pirate a game and tell the developer.
>>733895778If China isn't number 1 that list is bullshit.
/v/exicans refuse to accept that money can be exchanged for goods and services, and to allow a goods and services industry to exist, instead of a nogames fa/v/ella.It's one thing to not buy games from ZOGmerica because it's all made for nigger trannies,but JapanGODS actually have an industry that makes games for them and (you). You're basically a nigger if you steal from this Japanese Games Industry, it's sinple really.At this point the western games industry is so dead that /v/exico, and basically the entire world, lives on "CULTURAL WELFARE" from JAPAN. Everyone watches Anime, think about it.If the /v/exican trannies in this thread convinced japanese people to stop paying for their games, "cuz dats for bootlickas ese", they would basically kill all culture and the fa/v/ella would have no good games to talk about, but for real this time.With one-third of all western "game developers" losing their jobs, because they can't make good games, it really makes you think (((who))) is wishing for a Japanese Games Industry collapse, curious.
>>733884534She is completely servile to the US. An idiot, in short.
>>733890764I think Westerners just have a thing in our culture for preserving information. I think it probably originated in the Dark Ages, when monks and stuff desperately tried to hoard all the written works from Ancient Rome (philosophy, etc.). So today, we just have a sense of unease at any old things (games, books, art) being lost to time. Many Asian cultures don't really have this.
>>733884473But, if I have a working grower?
>>733898895anon you're writing in a thread full of anti-japanese shartytroons. stop giving them the engagement they seek
>>733897103I dunno how accurate torrent country lookup is, especially 10 years ago. Not saying you're wrong tho.
>>733884534She's literally a jewish puppet, that's all you need to know.
>>733881849From the country that brought you NTR is it surprising that they'd be supportive of everyone else getting to play a game they want while they sit in the chair and are told no?
>>733899067Some of us want to pay for our games, but piracy still ends up being important for varying reasons. As I brought up earlier, I shouldn't be punished for buying games on the virtual console or PSN, only for Nintendo and sony to shaft me and say that the games don't transfer to future consoles. I should be allowed to pirate them to keep playing them, since I paid for them. But this is still piracy because of broken corporate laws. But is it wrong? I say nay.
>>733890904Ah yes that's why all the big PC parts manufacturers are based out of Japan and we all use Japanese OS on our PCs, I forgot.
this is probably way out of the scope of this thread, but what the fuck even informs japanese morality anyway?western morality it seemed to me has been largely predicated on christian values, the residual effects of the institutions christian values made, and the humanist philosophies that sprang up from or against themWhat about japan? is it just confucian style follow your superiors with Buddhist cycles of suffering and shinto beliefs that inform their right and wrong?
>>733881849These are the exact same posts posted here. Its not a Japan thing
>>733881849because it's a good excuse to cancel people they already dislike
Whenever I torrent anime from Nyaa, at least half the IPs in the peer list have Japanese flags. Maybe that's just Chinese people on an VPN.
>>733895007>Creative works>It's mostly derivative garbage
>>733899974yes all gaijin.
>>733881849>>733882031>>733884379>Its another Asian turf war thread
>>733899829People don't moralfag that hard here, Japanese are a race of buck broken slaves
Rapeape is right, /v/exicans don't want to support culture because "It's bootlicking ese" and because they also want to whine about losing and being molested by BIG TRANNY."I would say 4chan itself has been a majority left wing site for years now. De facto anyway. It's like the politics of RPGcodex. Lots of non first worlders claiming smug superior centrism which in practice means total submission to big tranny." -RapeApe
>>733900371RAPEAPE IS RIGHT.
>>733888665Japs think gaijin are dumb entitled monkeys for not following requests that no one actually has any obligation to follow. Same applies to pixiv artists who say "please don't repost my art it makes me very sad" and then nuke their account when they get too much attention
Tell it to me straight /v/, how many posts itt are eternally envious brownoids yet again seething at the based japanese for being able to buy and support companies that dont hate their guts?
>>733899043surely its India
The absolute state of /v/
>>733892005A few years ago there was a rare Sonic arcade game that failed its location test and the only known copy was owned by a Japanese collector who refused to let it be dumped and put online and in the end it had to be done without his knowledge.The original highest quality audio for Dragon Ball Z was all owned by this one Japanese collector and he fefused to let it be put online because he wanted to do it legally and have an official distributor (Toei or Funimation) release it. Neither were interested so it was just going to not be heard by anybody again. Some western fans who were in contact with him leaked all the audio online and he was royally pissed and left the community. Now fans all over the world can torrent the high quality audio and praise the guys who synced the audio to the episodes while the seething Japanese collector who horded it all is left seething
>>733892040In Japan if your ISP catches you torrenting the feds will immediately be called to bust down your door. Piracy is a capital offense and you'll be hanged in fromt of an audience of the yakuza who own the company who own the IP you pirated
>>733882694>Like chinaChina is simply bug jew
>>733890526You have to understand. Their culture is one that is not so far distant in the past from a feudal country. Some people who are alive right now, had their great grandparents living during the bakufu. For more than 7 centuries (and probably even before that), the japanese were living in a society where doing any wrong, intended or not, to someone considered above you, was punishable, often by death or long prison times. They still have this mentality where the society is organized by castes and its very frowned upon to wrong someone of a higher caste. On top of that you have the zaibatsu culture (which are dead only in name), where corporations have social power and political power. And you get this mentality where its bad to do anything akin to stealing from a corporation.
>>733884492You lost too dumbass
>>733895778What are the odds that they got only truth tellers to answer their survey?
>>733901808That's almost as bad as Nintendo sending cops to your house to seize legally bought property in bongland
>>733893690>pirate manga>Nobody gives a fuck>pirate anime>Nobody gives a fuckNot that long ago Japanese publishers released an English PSA about how you shouldn't pirate manga and should support the publishers by purchasing official releases. The PSA also implied that manga will not exist in 100 years if scanlations continue. The PSA was widely criticized for featuring iconic manga characters whose series have never been officially released in English
>>733881849Draconic copyright laws create good corporate slaves.They also have a mentality of the respecting the creator's intentions, because he is the expert making and you are simply consuming it.
>>733898895This is a seethe thread against Japan from browns and kiked cucks, they have literally nothing. please understand
>>733901624I heard someone did something similar for an arcade cabinet, connecting something really quick when the owner wasn't looking and dumping the files on the internet, but I can'\t remember what game it was.
>>733898887If they did, they'd have their second hand market obliterated by scalpers buying up everything en masse only to immediately slap it on ebay at 100x the price.
>>733899067It's really interesting how the westoid is both mad at their lack of culture (he doesn't draw nor practice any art) and yet dares to say anything about those that actually can make something. How can someone from a cucked country that can't make anything, whose country makes nothing, whose people hate each other, dare to have any shred of sense of superiority before someone who actually CAN and DOES make stuff? jews really really did a great job cucking a huge part of the world, sad
>>733893878Yes this is why in Japanese shows when they make pop culture references they have to bleep the names of IPs they're not approved to mention. These laws are fairly recent, starting in the early 2000s. Before they could rip stuff off as much as they wanted, which they did all the time in old arcade games. In 80s anime they parodied stuff all the time too. Unfortunately that all changed in the early 2000s, around the same time CERO appeared and made so that post-2000s its always the Japanese release of a game that's more censored and not the other way around
>>733902021Does this have a title? I want to read about this. It sounds funny.
>>733900121>are a race of buck broken slavesWho buddy, no need to talk about the west like that
>>733881849shou is right, ill never get why people go around HEY LOOK AT ME IM PIRATING GAMES
>>733894163>game copyrights in Japan a huge pain in the butt for piracy.Or even official releases. Terranigma can never be rereleased because the guy who owns the copyright is a wanted fugitive and disappeared off the face of the earth and they need his signature or a way to pay him royalties or something
>>733883659I lived in Japan for two years. Mostly liked it. People are as selfish, depraved, egostisitcial (and probably prone to pirating software) as anywhere else. But public decorum is a big thing the same way being an individual is a big thing in the States. Take all publicly expressed sentiment with a grain of salt. It's an unspoken rule to be polite. Act like an ass and you are quietly ostracized and shunned. Japanese are only their true selves in private. The entirety of their public personal, even online, is a polite farce.
>>733881849because previous generations of video games are readily accessible for reasonable prices. Theres no need to pirate when retro titles are cheap as hell.
>>733881849because the jap is a cuck. simple as.
>>733899067Cool, so do you buy all the anime you watch? What's your opinion on shitty localisation teams and western publishers of butchered Japanese games?
>>733894861>when japan has a thriving used games market (aka stealing since devs don't get a cent)Second hand games have a finite supply so their negative impact is reduced compared to piracy.
>>733881849Wow Japan is so based
>>733881849They are taught to respect authority and that means being corporate bootlickers (many times to their detriment) and there's some sort of sense of pride when a Japanese company does well on a global level.
>>733899067I play loads of FOSS games. If the industry burned I would just shrug and say it should have happened sooner.
i am friends with a married japanese woman
>>733895391Izzat American*
>>733882694People always forget this. Japan at the end of the day, is a nation of bug people. Just like Korea, just like China. Butterflies are beautiful, incredibly so, but they're bugs just like cock roaches.Beautiful bug people are beautiful, but they are still insects, and their behaviors should not be mistaken. Western civilization cannot comprehend why the bug people act the way they do, because bug people themselves do not understand.
>>733902694As I said, that is a case of americans living off of JAPANESE CULTURE, while they hate it and actively want to destroy it."CULTURAL WELFARE FROM JAPAN" in it's purest form.
>>733882694>ape together strongThis.Hell, the way they romanticize competitions is proof of how diametrically opposite Japanese thinking is to western ideologies.
>>733881849>>733882031piracy is a core element of early PC/internet culture so Japan never had it, their country is being ruled by Nintendo who's above most laws
>>733902715>negative impactno one sane would even entertain the notion that a secondhand market may have "a negative impact"please take your meds
>>733882031Holy fuck piratevegans forever btfo
>>733895949i've never openly bragged about all the shit i've done.Why people are stupid?
>>733899067did you get permission from that artist before you posted their art?
>>733904338when artists say dont repost their art what they generally mean is they dont someone posting their art acting like they're them when you can easily just retweet their work or the equivalent of what ever site you're on
>>733881849>>733882031japan has this culture where you're supposed to lie about some things. it's fine if you're pirating stuff but when people ask you have to be extremely anti-piracyit's similar to how their girls look and act like pure innocent virgin maidens who don't know what sex is but have the highest amount of porn and cheating rate, or how the girls have to act shy while having sex and yell YAMETE YAMETE but they actually mean fuck me harder
>>733904565no, that's what the western artist mean. japanese artists don't want their art reposted anywhere at all even if you're crediting them
>>733882694China is very tribalized. Every Chinese person only cares about the other people from their specific region and everyone else sucks.
>>733904587It's this. Piracy rates in Japan are the same as in the West. Who do you think uploads all those doujins? EOP westerners? LMAO
>>733882031Lol they said you're a chinese
>>733904587>cheating rateBut they don't, because Japs are retarded in their world view when it comes to what constitutes as cheating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMi2XYayCCMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41k5xz-_cwM
>>733904931a bunch of them said it is cheating though
>>733904981The first video is to give context for the second, because she talks about how her interview videos have been used to paint a weird view about cheating in Japan.
>>733904981And now a bunch of nips who say it isn't.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh0qlDk-8FA
>>733881849Openly they don't talk about it because of social contracts and etiquette.Privately they pirate as much as anyone.It's basically just "shut up so you don't ruin it for everyone idiot"
>>733905068i could easily find 5 americans that say the same thing
>>733905073Meanwhile retards in the west are virtue signalling while stealing. Just steal or whatever and shut up lmao.
>>733905174>i could easily find 5 americans that say the same thingThat doesn't bode well for your argument. If you can "find 5 americans that say the same thing" then the cheating rate is just as high/low in Japan as it is in America.
>>733881849>>733882031Japs are such pathetic bootlickers
>>733883520i do pay for jap games, but as far as anime goes, if japs haven't found a way to distribute anime to me outside of japan properly (crunchyroll is dogshit, fuck them), they clearly don't care about my money so I have no moral qualms with pirating it
>noooo you can't pirate this game that is no longer being sold! such a stupid take, if you don't like me pirating then maybe you should just try selling the fucking game to me instead. it's like Gaben said, piracy is mostly a service and availability issue rather than a money issue.
>all these justifications just to pirateJust pirate shit you like, don't act like you're better for stealing

>>733903867PC/Internet culture was a thing in Japan at the same time as it was in the states, and became widespread way earlier.They even got into mobile internet way earlier with their gala-kei phones
>>733906062taiwanese people are the biggest weeaboos on the planetI mean, rightfully so I guess? since Japan has always loved them and given a lot of great things to them and treated them waaaaay better than anyone else during the imperial era
Because westoids have no morals and feel entitled to other people's work for no justifiable reason. That's why they are treated like the cattle they are by their elite. If it wasn't for jews guiding how society runs white countries would all be like India, just like they were for thousands of years before rothschilds took over
>>733889125same old "gaijin collectively bad"
>piracy le bad!>now let me steal this characters and profit from them without original authors permission instead of creating original ones.
>>733902814Which is funny because public companies have no nationality. Their interests are global the moment they enter the stock market.
Is Shigesato Itoi the only Japanese guy cool with people pirating his games?I know he's not actually within the industry but still
>>733906501They act like Africans, Indians, and Chinese yet they're so butthurt when you call them out
>stealing and piracy only is ok when nips do it mkay?
If people and corpos are so against piracy then they should also be against used game sales, steam family share and whatever else it, and just lending games to others
>>733882031Kek, how do you even respond to that without sounding mad?
>>733906708like Africans if they weren't violent, like Indians if they weren't rapey, like Chinese if they cared about animals
>>733883753Corporations are legally people so why don't you take your antisemitism and fuck off?
>>733904774>Who do you think uploads all those doujins? EOP westerners? LMAOIt's 90% chinks, unironically Sometimes they even upload a chink translation instead of the raws
>>733905073Reminds me how some Toei guy basically tried his best to tell people to shut the fuck up over tokusatsu fansubs but because they never shut up Toei had to do legal action.He said some sort of Japanese parable, "If a pheasant didn't want to get shot it shouldn't have sung" or something
