No surprise here. Those were idiots trying to profit from someone else’s labour. It’s not illegal to sell a retro gaming console capable of playing gba games (to name one), what’s illegal, and these imbeciles should have known is to sell them full of licensed games.

Well deserved imho.

Edit: gotta love getting downvoted for this. I guess people are butthurt because someone profiting from piracy got screwed. Well, that’s how it is. These guys could have sold the consoles without games and nothing could have happened. Piracy by itself shouldn’t be about profiting from other people’s work. That’s why every single cracker group tells you that if you paid for their cracked games, you were scammed.

But I guess people think that profiting from piracy is fine… Oh well…

20-25 years ago, phones in schools were a rare sight, and nobody died. My parents could live without knowing what was I doing in school until I got home.

Now it seems those parents need to set a surveillance system to know what their kids are doing 24/7.

Remember these are the assholes for the traditional catholic family.

The traditional family made of a man, his wife and a lover with whom he cheats his wife with public money.

I live in Italy (not Italian) and I feel personally offended by how bad that pun was.

You, sir (or lady, or whatever the fuck you are) should be in a max security pun-itentiary

I suppose you have yet to see English or Germans eating… It’s… An unpleasant experience.

Meanwhile, Charlie Sheen, known for his tumultuous past, has not been directly implicated in the investigation.

I’ll save you a click

I mean, it’s clearly Ukraine’s fault. They invaded, whose else’s fault could be?

If Ukraine didn’t invade, would those territories be occupied by Ukraine?

There, your answer.

Now, now. Disaster is a bit excessive when all that’s been missing is some billionaires, don’t you think?

Ahhh Qatar… Such a nice place to live… FIFA said that they did a lot for human rights so they could hold a World Cup event…

I guess having female toilets in the stadiums was more than enough to consider “a lot”.

Seriously people, don’t go there.

Trump is Christian and look what he wants to do with his project 2025. It’s not about religion, it’s about an authoritarian regime that uses a book as justification for their bullshit.

There are more, this is just one of them

You already admitted to another user that a victim can be partially to blame when something happens to them under certain circumstances.

You just don’t want to accept that for the man in the article because he’s “from your team”.

You lost. A while ago. And you just keep your insulating crusade because that’s all that remains to you.

You are (by your own admission) using “cishet” as a derogatory slur. That’s exactly insulting someone for something they don’t have a choice on.

And after that, you’re just being offensive because someone on the internet didn’t agree with you. Calm down a bit, breathe and maybe log off for a moment, you’ll feel better after that.

Oh this is awesome! So now my comments are somehow offensive and get removed by a mod but a person that’s calling other people names is apparently fine. And just when I thought Lemmy was different from Reddit… Can a mod please point out what part of my comments was somehow deserving of the removal?

The only thing you’re doing with this is generating hate towards you.

It’s ironic how the queer community is fighting to not get marginalised by something they can’t choose (such as their sexual identity) and you’re just doing that.

You’re becoming what you hate.

There you go, seems it wasn’t necessary after all. You’re just looking for enemies. Good luck in your quest.

Do I really need to screenshot those messages? Don’t make me do such thing, please.

Can you point out what did I twist? Maybe when I said that there are surely better places to go for a queer person than Qatar and then you said that you are marginalized everywhere? And then I pointed out that surely it’s not the same a country like Spain than a country like Qatar? But you kept going with it?

You really don’t know what you’re talking about. But that’s fine, go on.

I am saying that Qatar is not comparable to EU. And if you refuse to see that, then you’re part of the problem. How many EU countries can you name in which being gay is punished with death? If you really think that queer people is oppressed the same way in a democratic civilised country than it is in an autocratic regime as the one of Qatar, you are just denying any kind of progress, and hurting queer people more than helping them. You should be ashamed of even considering that.

You look like someone looking for enemies, and that’s only going to hurt yourself, not me.

You’re mad at me because you don’t like what I’m saying.

And instead of trying to understand that maybe sometimes a victim can be criticised for what they suffered, so they learn from it to never repeat it, you double down on your attacks refusing to see anything wrong in this person’s behaviour. You even go as far as saying that every country is the same when it comes to queer people treatment, as if Qatar was remotely comparable to any UE country in which they can live a full life like any other citizen.
