I completely agree. However posts of a screenshot of some shitty comment very much screams cope. That's what I say enjoy ya loot, cause the reasons don't matter.
Loot is just an expression being used to stick with the pirate theme. I don't get why you are reading so far into it. We call it piracy, when we are not pirates in the traditional sense, same for the word loot.
So why do we call ourselves pirates? Why do we call it piracy?
I'm all for fuck corpos and freedom of sharing but it's just lingo, you are reading way to fucking far into it.
Now I'm legitimately curious, what do you propose we call it? I do think piracy is misleading but I've always rolled with it since thats what people know it as.
Gonna start calling it that now. Thanks :)
