I’d encourage it, yes.
If you can’t actually pay for it through legitimate means, find someone who’s translated a game or movie online, watch it and enjoy.
Art shouldn’t be limited to one region because of some arbitrary sales law, dictated by some dinosaurs in a boardroom.

I wonder how Japanese consumers of R18 Doujins would react if suddenly that entire was shut down?
It’s a very clear violation of copyright.
I can’t count how many covers I’ve seen with Asuka on it. Seems like an inherently hypocritical stance to take.

El anime no es político
-Gundam es solo mechas
-La tumba de las luciérnagas es una hermosa historia de hermanos
-Porco Rosso es un cerdo que habla
-Code Geass es un estudiante al que le gusta jugar ajedrez
-FMA son dos hermanos que buscan una piedra
Nada de esto es política. 🤦🏻♀️
The Japanese One Piece fans that don’t want to go any deeper into the work are just like the American Conservatives that listen to Rage Against the Machine.
What I’ve learned today:
Japanese people are WAY more like Americans than they’d ever admit. Even when an artist practically spells out the political leaning of their work, the consumers will sweep that meaning under the rug to not confront that which makes them uncomfortable.
O hey I can use this again
🚨🇯🇵 JAPANESE FANS BURST ON X
Japanese fans on X are expressing their anger over the use of anime imagery in controversial acts, saying:
• “Don’t Turn The One Piece flag into a symbol of TERRORISM!” 🏴☠️
• “DON’T USE ANIME TO JUSTIFY YOUR CRIMINAL ACTS!”
• “Now Days, Celestial Dragons Are Using The One Piece Flag!”
• “Don’t Defame Our Country & Anime!”
• “They Are Not REAL ANIME FANS, They Dont Even Watch Anime. they are people using ANIME FOR SOCIAL MEDIA FAME!”
People in the west WANT to give Japanese companies money for their games. But the dumbass dinosaurs that run your companies either just don’t want to make them available or lost the masters of those games, because they didn’t think archiving them was important.
Dude, just prove he was a racist within the first 30 seconds.
If the correct pronunciation of a name pisses him off, I wonder how he pronounces “Jose” like Josey? Or Joze?
Hell like 4/5ths of the English language borrows words from every other major language in the world.
I’m still reeling from this shit, the first show of breaking at the Olympics, and somehow this lady got in.
I was so fucking pumped to get drunk and watch it with my buddies. They saw this lady flopping around and looked at me like “ this is your sport, huh?”
Absolutely insane range. What a talent

Love how this completely proves the point I’ve made.
Original artist envisions a character with a beard. The AI removes the beard. Original artist pretends that was their vision all along.
It guts your artistic expression and replaces it with a cheap fabrication of other’s style
