What a fucking idiot. He / she could have sued them if he felt aggrieved instead of encouraging people to commit crimes.

Yet stealing someone’s art and selling it for a profit doesn’t seem to bother you.

Did I say that? Or did you just jump to that conclusion?

You’re more upset by shoplifting than by the unethical theft and exploitation of someone else’s artistic work, so yes, you did say that.

You seem to be making things up again. 😥

I don’t like people breaking the law, and I said I don’t think it was a good idea to encourage law breaking. Where in that did you take it to understand that I support theft or exploitation of artwork?

You’re still crying about people shoplifting yet you still haven’t condemned the artwork theft. Reading between the lines and calling out your bullshit isn’t “making things up,” buddy.

When stealing someone’s artwork is completely legal but fighting back against it by stealing from them is against the law, maybe “the law” is just a bunch of worthless bourgeoisie bullshit. Stealing from thieves is objectively cool. Cry more about it.

Are you an actual 14 year old? Jesus who hurt you this badly?

Ok here you go, I have no opposition to condemning artwork theft. It is wrong and should not happen. Happy? Oh shit where’s your reading between the lines now?

At the same time encouraging others to break the law and steal is also wrong and a shit head move to do.

“Everyone who disagrees with me must be a child. There’s no way anyone could possibly disagree with me about anything.” Damn what an original, well-reasoned argument.

Finally dragged out of you after two posts of crying hard about something objectively less worse,

At the same time encouraging others to break the law and steal is also wrong and a shit head move to do.

At the same time only one of things you shit your pants about.

Dios mío 🤣🥸

Engage with the argument or fuck off.

No people that post with a “hurrr durrr you don’t like theft fight me” attitude are children.

Finally dragged out of you

Dragged what out of anyone? You’ve misunderstood basic words, jumped to conclusions, and are now irate.

At the same time only one of things you shit your pants about.

Like I don’t… I don’t know what the heck this is supposed to mean? Do I take you seriously or assume you’re a child? My best bet right now is to assume you’re a child by the way you’re responding. How is it controversial to be against theft? I dunno apparently it is 🤷.

It took several posts for you to admit art theft is bad. Which one of us doesn’t like theft, again?

You’ve misunderstood basic words, jumped to conclusions, and are now irate.

“u mad bro” wow another great argument, damn you’re knocking it out of the park.

Like I don’t… I don’t know what the heck this is supposed to mean?

But I’m the one struggling to understand basic words lmao.

As opposed to the totally mature way you’re responding, which is *checks notes* telling the other user he doesn’t understand words, calling him mad, and constantly accusing him of being a child. Wow I sure am glad there’s a real adult in the room.

Anyway since at this point you’re just calling everyone who disagrees with you a child and refusing to actually engage with the argument I’m not going to waste my time any further. Have a

Listen to yourself. Several posts to admit. What are some sort of detective? As if you’ve uncovered some hidden secrets? Because I hadn’t used the words theft of art is also theft you assume I am pro art theft? This is your faulty logic, buddy.

Anyway at this point you’re just calling everyone who disagrees with you a child

I’m specifically calling you a child 😉. Because you’re a child.

refusing to actually engage with the argument

You have no argument. You’re straw manning and trying to pick fights. Stop.
