I recommend a targeted dive into Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae

Roughly halfway down, just above taxonomy, is a graphic of the clade. (True) hares are only in the genus Lepus, the rest may be called hares if they are big but that’s not taxonomy, just language.

There also is this helpful picture I found on the mammal page:

Rabbits (well, the European rabbits Oryctolagus) are at the top left in blue, hares would be right beside them, as they are more closely related than the next animal group shown here, Pikas (Ochotona). Rabbit, Hares and Pikas form the group Lagomorphs. Deer are in the green category, left center, and thus distantly related.

No real biologist, but no. They are 2 different, but closely related species - certainly closer than deer!

Let me be an annoying pedant here and say that a huge number of media is made without profit incentives, we humans create a lot and share it for the fun of creating, be it free games, fan fiction or even music.

Sure I rarely consume such media for being a corporate slut, but you didn’t know that.

All the best media has already been made, hasn’t it? What’s new in the industry, Isekai? VR?

As long as I set a date in the past and stick to only consuming the media before that date, I don’t owe those weirdos any thanks, since they no longer contribute to the development of anything I watch.

So this is why I should be able to pirate snes roms, no idea what you are talking about.
