On the surface, Squidward was your average pretentious artist or /ic/kiddie
>shit at it but kept thinking how he was going to make it and become a worshipped celebrity
>hated his rival for being a bigger snob than him but actually good at playing the clarinette
>self-centered and all his art was about himself for the sake of making it about himself i.e. become famous
If you explore the character of Squidward, he's just an empty shell of a man trying to find something that elevates him from the masses, but his attitude and ethics make him fail and only when he embraces art for art's sake and fun, he succeeds at art. I think there is an episode where he "makes it", but loses everything due to reverting to his old arrogant self.

Actually, you know what; i'll humor you.

>nobody knows about piracy, any reasonable person would pirate, they just dont know it
Never been said.
Anyone who would have the chance of getting a product for free, would see no reason to pay for it.
If people cared for artists, they would not reupload their content on other sites.
You can't compare games, which take a lot of capital to produce, with lewd art of the fotm.
>nobody actually cares about supporting the artist, it's all just really dumb people
Never been said by me. It was always the opposing argument:
>"hurr durr people just like porn cuz they coomers stop questioning it"
>Huge numbers of people just refund their games after they're done with them and steam just lets them go ahead with it
Never claimed either, but people won't just sit on games they bought and didn't like if they can get a refund to buy other games.
>People buy games with the expectation that they can resell them so it's way cheaper
Never been claimed either. Normies usually resell their games once they're finished with them. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be any used games in circulation. Gamestop would have never existed either.
Why would they keep something they don't use if they can get money for it by reselling it and buy new shit?
This also applies to anything they have.
They do this shit with phones, other appliances and cars, too.
>If there was no profit incentive people would just make the same stuff
No one claimed this either, but... broadly speaking, they all do the same shit?
What most pornographers do is make fotm anime porn or just vanilla porn.
You'd think that at least there would be variety in fetishes and artists, but it's all the same shit except in a slightly different flavor.
>You are like actually on another planet, almost nothing you said so far even remotely maps to reality or any understanding of anyone.
And you live in your own head, since you lack this much common sense. Unironically go outside.

Are you going to post this on reddit to show how you totally trolled le ebin 4chin raycists?

>this bait thread again
Imagine someone looking at a child and going:
>"Wow, if the child had big tits and was grown up it would be sexy and i would want to have sex with!"
And somehow this way of thinking, doesn't raise any red flags at all.

It wouldn't be an issue if the original character it's taken from wasn't a 5 year old child.
Either draw the loli or don't draw it all.
No need to "age it up" just for brand recognition.
>it's just a drawing
A drawing of what, exactly?
Of a child that has been "aged up".
