Anon who went off about poverty and piracy here and honestly, even though I don't pirate stuff I don't have a blanket moral objection to it, and I don't think poor people should have to resign themselves to lives of grinding drudgery with no leisure time or entertainment or small joys.

I've never been poor enough to have to steal food, but if you're poor enough that you're hungry all the time idgaf if you steal food, or baby formula, or soap and sanitary products.

I'm not comfortable with people stealing stuff they don't need to live, but a) that is my privilege talking and b) I do know there's a difference between media piracy and stealing physical things. I just don't think it's okay to take anything from someone struggling to make ends meet, even if it's an intangible digital copy of something.

Secret OP is apparently talking about games, which I know jack shit about, but one of my coworkers built a gaming computer and it cost him $$$.

I'm into cosplay on the cheap, so I don't have many finished costumes and lots were made from recycled curtains and sheets and stuff from the thrift store. I have a super intricate (by my standards) costume where all the fabric and half the trim is old curtains hand-painted, dyed, and layered, spangled with plastic rhinestones, dollar store costume jewelry, and plastic beaded Christmas garland. It took years to gather all the materials, adding things as I found and modified them, and only now when I finally have a decent paying job (I got a raise for the first time in a decade holy shit!) am I finishing it up with some store bought non dollar store trim.

I know that Frankensteining old computers together won't yield a top of the line gaming machine, though, and that sucks. Stealing games from indie creators who are often, you guessed it, not rich, is still shitty though.

(OP) We don't seem to disagree at all, except that my take on indie creators is different and I did mention it on the other secret's comment section as I said, and stand by, the idea that between not purchasing something, but playing/enjoying it and advertising through fanworks/streaming/whatever is preferable to me as a content creator than not purchasing something and not playing/enjoying it, because I acknowledge that unfortunately not everyone has the money to spare and that's how I personally feel about others enjoying what I create - never implied that others should agree. To me if someone ends up liking the thing I created and their finantial situation eventually gets better (as I pray it does) they may eventually go back to this thing they liked (or other creations of my own) and purchase it. But that is my personal understanding, my own personal take on the matter and of course piracy isn't a fine thing to do so if you can please pay for it. Anyway. No one has to agree. And of course between stealing from the rich and stealing from the poor please steal from the rich lol. Isn't that obvious?

Yeah, I get where you are coming from. I used to make cosplays from modded thrift stores pieces (because fabric was often too expensive) because we had a sewing machine home (luckily) and I was crafty enough to modify them. But to say that anyone who can't purchase a ready-made cosplay (either from professional artisans or popular industrial manufacturers) doesn't have the right to dream is nuts. They can and should.
