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 don't think judging an artistic work by how hard its fanbase or "fanbase" gets it wrong makes for compelling critique of said artistic work

Yeah we have examples of writers all but straight up saying "here's how to interpret this" to their audience, in the work, and people still interpret it wrong. Basically all art is subject to this. There are neoliberal Disco Elysium fans who Stan the Moralintern.

As The Doobie Brothers said, "what a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason him away".

I still think some stories more successfully convey what their authors were trying to convey.
