Emulation is not always piracy. If you legally own the files then it isn't piracy. That's one of the first things I ever said in any emulation thread on this site. 

But if you don't legally own the files for the game that you are emulating then it is piracy. 

"By using this emulator you agree to provide your own files legally."

Sure thing. ;)

Then why are you saying that people should be banned for talking about Breath of the Wild and Persona 5, two games that many, many people acquired legally and released on dying platforms...

Because the majority of people emulating those games didn't acquire them legally.
