if the anime industry wants to slander the fansubbers as pirates and refuse to credit them for building the immense international demand for anime, then fuck em.
remember when we used to say "why the fuck would you pay for shitty crunchyroll subs when fansubs are better lol"
let's go back to that

this actually wasn't a direct response to the reposted article which i don't disagree with: yes boycott crunchyroll to force them to make high quality subs, but also don't give them your money anyways. if shit doesn't get licensed anymore then demand for fansubs will come back

it's simply on a different level than manga, where it's much closer to a book deal and the number of sales can really affect whether or not the series gets axed. buy manga if you have the means, but buying anime at this point does not reward the creatives. if the execs could fire them too they would

absolutely peak, thank you
