No, I just have an adverse reaction to collective stupidity. I know I should try not to let it get to me, but when I see a bunch of people engaging in collective delusions about the state of the world, it upsets me. It’s like people choose to believe that just because what they’re saying sounds right, or should be right, that it’s actually the way things are.
This is how we get voter apathy. This is how we get Trump winning because “certainly people won’t support him THIS time”. I’m just sick of people pretending that anything in our society still follows the old rules of morality and justice, and then getting dismayed and confused when it doesn’t.
I just wish more people would see the world for what it is, rather than make shit up that sounds good and desperately pretend that’s the same as reality.
If you think it is stupid to not like a brand because it is toxic to the community then I just don’t know what to think. Their decisions hurt their brand and people don’t like it.
We come here to talk about it and here you are chiming in that they are stupid for not liking something objectively that is not likable. I think in a lot of ways this makes you seem stupid yourself.
I think your beef is with something that has nothing to do with this. You also seem to ignore many huge brands have come and gone and Nintendo is no different. Pretending they are monolithic or untouchable belays the reality that if enough people refuse to buy their product they will fail.
The market self corrects all the time and not everyone shares your view that we should eat shit shut up and enjoy it.
It’s not about liking or disliking it, but thinking that this decision somehow hurts Nintendo. The absurdly naive belief that online opinions, especially here, actually affect any change in the real world.
Buy Nintendo products, or don’t; but don’t pretend like that has any effect on the company. Boycotts haven’t worked in decades.
