So you don't think GBAtemp is innocent when it comes to piracy? This site doesn't contain pirated software, but it also doesn't exactly forbid piracy, or tools for piracy, all together.
Let me just say this. Nothing is black or white, it's shades of grey, and either that grey is darker or lighter. It's like the same face of a coin split into two. With the other face just a bit darker than other providing light light, light dark, dark light, and dark dark. Gbatemp is more on the light dark side, or the face of the coin that receives light, but has questionable things. With SX OS and pieces of Nintendo's code is more of a dark light than gbatemps light dark, but does not follow into the pure dark dark scheme. Not something that should absolutely be removed but is non the less morally incorrect to a degree.
To clarify,
light light means always good most of the time.
light dark means that it's good but rather questionable at times.
dark light means it's bad or goes against morals, but is not something people should never do or consider dependent on the situation/reasons(if you get lost on the double negative. I'm saying people should consider it as option under the right circumstances. Or should follow. Hacking and modding is a this grey area (not allowing piracy specifically, just in general))
dark dark is things that are completely awful in all ways socially morally and law and no situation would ever change it.
Course this is subjective, not objective.
Your likely asking why the distinction between gbatemp and SX OS. My answer is diversity to that.
SX OS primary goal is piracy, it sells and banks itself off of piracy.
While gbatemp definitely can provide tools for such things, it also provides news, homebrew, game discussions. And many other things that out weigh the darker shades the site would have if it was elusively hacking or piracy focused.
So do I think gbatemp is Innocent?
Not entirely, but not to blame. Don't shoot the messenger.
