Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Yeah pretty much, I remember The Horse and His Boy being extremely orientalist, even as a kid that stood out. Other than that its basically a white saviour story where some british kids are the natural rulers over some lesser beings, it feels very much like a justification of colonialism.
Tbh I watched the movies and read the books as a kid, I've never revisited them since so I couldn't give you a more detailed response, I'm sure other people have done so though
