Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

That doesn't sound like a strong argument to me. I'm a supporter of emulation but I think that the amount of code involved in making it happen doesn't stop it from being the primary purpose.
I agree those arguments have no legal ground, but I don't believe emulators are made with the primary purpose of circumventing protections, it's just naive to think people wouldn't use them for that purpose IMO.
