I despise all of those companies to the core. More than average.
See but I've never heard Nintendo supporting genocide actively.
Like, yes, they're a corporation, they love money, they do stupid things to get money, but they're not doing nearly the same shit as other companies I hate.
Or if they are, I haven't heard of it, it's all been game key cards.
The game key card thing feels like a clinton-blowjob level scandal while some other people are doing a whole genocide.
Am I missing something?
If genocide is something you care about I wouldn't be defending a Japanese company that existed in imperial Japan.
I mean, the people in charge of Nintendo now aren't those people.
In 50 years, if Microsoft had gone co-op, withdrawn from genocide, removed telemetry, and like half a dozen other things, due to a change in leadership, I'd also not hold that future Microsoft as at fault for current Microsoft.
I also don't hold Volkswagen responsible for the Holocaust, presently. Just the emissions fraud (and maybe more that I can't currently recall).
Those leaders are still Japanese. A country notorious for ignoring and downplaying their atrocities. It's like forgiving a Holocaust denier because they weren't alive to drive the train.
