Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I'm not dissing escapism in general, just the popularity of this particularly unimaginative and often problematic genre
Oh I see. Yeah, that's a pretty clear distinction. That part of the genre has dehumanizing wish-fulfillment vibes that reminds me a lot of romanticizing colonialism.
I think that's a really sharp observation. There's probably a good essay to be written about that.
