I’ve already explained this, multiple times at this point. I’m not repeating myself again.

No, you have not. You keep deflecting. The comic does not fabricate or need to justify anything, it is just whats happening.

Listen, you’re obviously trying to rope me into some sort of strawman argument. I’m not interested. When you want to get back to talking about the comic in the OP, I’m ready.

Really, at this point you think I am trying to rope you into a strawman argument? After placing words and motives in my mouth? You, who comes to a piracy community trying to push some sort of pro corporate agenda and is somehow shocked that you are not taken seriously?

I'm not deflecting, you are. I keep telling you and you come back with "I didn't say that", but I never said you did. It's in the OP. Once again, I replied to the OP. Answer the question about what "can't say I didn't try" means if not that the character fully-intended to pay. Any further deflections will be considered bad faith and disregarded.

What a threat.

I keep telling you, "can't say I didn't try" holds true if the media is not available. There is no justification here, no fabricated anything. Its amazing that anyone would go so far when the high seas are easy and available, but for you its some sort of high treason.

What a threat.

I think you might want to look up what a threat is, because that's not what that was.

I keep telling you, "can't say I didn't try" holds true if the media is not available.

You never said that. And it doesn't hold true if you don't try, which is what you suggested ("Why go to that effort just to pay?"), regardless of whether the media is available or not.

There is no justification here, no fabricated anything

I don't understand how "Can't say I didn't try" is interpreted as anything other than justification.

but for you its some sort of high treason.

I said nothing of the sort. All I said was to stop bullshitting and own it.
