>Okay, but you are not entitled to his art.
Okay then don't post it on the internet.
>and even if he fits your criteria, you would still be begging
And with that kind of attitude, you'll
never get anyone's money.
>What type of logic is "We don't give million dollar companies our money, so why give money to him"
Congratulations on missing the point that I don't accept arguments that attempt to
guilt me over my not giving someone (Be it a company or an individual) my money. Which is exactly what you're doing.
>the other is a guy making art you want
There are
THOUSANDS of artists out there across the planet, many very skilled and talented people. So much so that funding them all would bankrupt a single individual. So the argument of "
he can't make money" is lost on me because I can always find someone else to support (And give money to) who much more deserves it than someone going on a moral crusade against piracy
on the fucking internet.
Don't take this as my saying that he should release everything free as an act of charity and lick the bottom of my boot because what I say is law since I'm the customer. Having actually
WORKED for a living across several companies, I've experienced numerous times where I've had a client making absolutely unreasonable demands that are beyond my abilities and they know it. And each time, I've had to turn the person down. At the end of the day, it is about making money.
However, I also made those actions knowing full well that if the situation was reversed, where I was the unreasonable client and the other person an employee of the company, the same exact situation would unfold if I attempted the same thing.
So let's look at it this way.
Have you ever pirated shit, yes or no? In fact, are you pirating shit right now or recently? Doesn't matter who the "victim" is, are you doing it? If so, you have
ZERO reason to ridicule anyone for pirate anything.
Second, what's unreasonable for wanting to have alternate methods of payment? Given that Patreon has V& accounts for the most arbitrary of reasons in the past, wouldn't it be a smart tactic to have an alternate source of income in case the site yanks your access? Much more, what about the people who have sworn off using Patreon because of other reasons?
Third, are you going to stop profiting off of other people's content and start making your own? You're trying to ridicule me because I'm an "
Evil pirate who's begging for lewds", yet your entire account only has the following it does because your "pirating" characters that someone else created. And with that being the case, I guess it's already firmly established that you failed the first of these three questions.
This isn't a point to "own" you, I'm simply explaining the reality of the situation. Whether you're actually collaborating with Boogie or not doesn't matter because we're on an anonymous imageboard. You could actually be the person you're claiming to be, in which case I highly advise that you knock it off with the high-and-mighty attitude as no one will support anyone who think they're God's gift to the world, or you could be some random autists who's white-knighting because you're a retard and bored. I don't care either way. But the question becomes why are you wasting your time arguing this when you even admit:
>it probably won't affect him much, if not at all.
Seems like it's a much better tactic to keep your mouth shut rather than ruin the good thing you have going for you.
