#just saw a post about how p*r*ting books is bad
#and it included the normal spiel about how all libraries have endless resources and have the same availability of media regardless of size
#(...my rural librarian interpretation of the content lol)
#but the thing that made me insane is it cited a bunch of authors talking about how p*r*cy hurts them
#which like. yes. But the fault is in how the publishers operate not in poor people reading
#BUT ANYWAYS the thing made me insane is they cited an author jon scalzi
#who literally on his website self described as
#‘im a liberal in anerica but any other country i would be a conservative thats how wacky far right the usa is’
#and like specifically cited british torues n shit and like
#sorry i dont take my moral cues from dudes like that
#and another person cited was seanan mcguire who was one of the authors who accused archive.org of p*r*cy
#which. is the issue with arguments like this bc if you say "dont steal go to libraries'
#you have to understand these same people are a step away from accusing libraries of theft
#there was a lady on twitter w an advice column book who literally was like 'dont tell authors ur gonna check their book
#out from the library thats literally taking money away from them its so insulting'
#like. i also wish authors were paid a fair wage! but its not an issue of buying stealing its buying or never reading
#dont lecture people to go to the library just. support your library yourself and do local outreach
#bc everytime someone on here is like
#LOOK AT THE RESOURCES UR LIBRARY HAS it is like 90% things my local and my job dont have!
#also this is all funny bc i know soooo many libs who p*r*te resources and not just scuzzy 25yos like me
#one of the sweetest libs i know managed to snag the dsm5 in full by accident and was just emailing all her student to
#let her know what sources they needed from it for their papers lol
