The only people in the chat seem to be the most racist, homophobic, sexist scumbags. It's like walking into a 4chan convention.. is that you guys? Why is it as soon as anonymity is there, the fucking assholes come out?

If this is the general spirit of piracy, I don't know if I'm interested

For the record, I have not noticed this as "piracy in general", no. Malware, dubious claims, dubious quality, dubious people, "extra information" that's undesirable? Sure, they all happen, that's part of the whole "get shit for free" deal. People are dipshits and I get how that's really annoying. But... aren't you in it for the free shit? Do you need to engage with the community much?

Racist, sexist, homophobic (etc. - god knows it's a long enough list) are generally "edgy" and therefore automatically hysterically funny to a bunch of people - teenagers and others who might be well represented in piracy for whatever reason. Hell, some of that shit is funny even if you ethically oppose it 100%.

You don't need to participate, agree or approve, just get what you came for and leave the edgelords to their edgelording.

I ethically oppose this

That's honestly super fair. I haven't really participated in piracy since my teenage days, and back then i might have found it funny as well.

It probably really comes down to the fact that teenagers have no money.
