love this! the part about how talking about something online makes it live especially stood out to me - i get frustrated when i see people with a platform say "oh well i pirated it so it's fine" and then in the next breath talk uncritically about how cool and fun the thing is. even if you're pirating something because you know the creator/company is funding terrible things, if you're then giving it free advertisement online and talking about how great it is, you are ultimately still supporting the creator/company's work in a different way.
