#lizbrarian#booksalt#just saw a post about how p*r*ting books is bad#and it included the normal spiel about how all libraries have endless resources and have the same availability of media regardless of size#(...my rural librarian interpretation of the content lol)#but the thing that made me insane is it cited a bunch of authors talking about how p*r*cy hurts them#which like. yes. But the fault is in how the publishers operate not in poor people reading#BUT ANYWAYS the thing made me insane is they cited an author jon scalzi#who literally on his website self described as#‘im a liberal in anerica but any other country i would be a conservative thats how wacky far right the usa is’#and like specifically cited british torues n shit and like#sorry i dont take my moral cues from dudes like that#and another person cited was seanan mcguire who was one of the authors who accused archive.org of p*r*cy#which. is the issue with arguments like this bc if you say "dont steal go to libraries'#you have to understand these same people are a step away from accusing libraries of theft#there was a lady on twitter w an advice column book who literally was like 'dont tell authors ur gonna check their book#out from the library thats literally taking money away from them its so insulting'#like. i also wish authors were paid a fair wage! but its not an issue of buying stealing its buying or never reading#dont lecture people to go to the library just. support your library yourself and do local outreach#bc everytime someone on here is like#LOOK AT THE RESOURCES UR LIBRARY HAS it is like 90% things my local and my job dont have!#also this is all funny bc i know soooo many libs who p*r*te resources and not just scuzzy 25yos like me#one of the sweetest libs i know managed to snag the dsm5 in full by accident and was just emailing all her student to#let her know what sources they needed from it for their papers lol
