Normalcy Bias, no one did anything because "Everything's fine folks, adults are still in charge, if we pretend this is normal that means it is!"
It's something Romney came up with that.. weirdly worked when Trump tried it even though it backfired heavily for Romney.
It will happen, we just haven't fought hard enough for it yet.
And they're already using Nazi imagery, a felony in Germany
I'm fairly certain he did more than just fund and campaign
McDonalds threatened to replace their employees with machines, and when they tried it cost them millions....
"15 an hour? Meet your replacement!" was nothing but a scare tactic, if machines were viable they'd already be in use.
Doubtful considering he's a central player to the Mario brand, they're the Mario Bros. and he's the brother.
What you're suggesting is on the level of Walking Dead deciding to no longer have zombies, for Marvel to retire the concept of super heroes altogether, or for John Wick movies to no longer have guns.
Besides Nintendo's had other characters in harsh spotlights before. Jynx and Porygon for example, still regularly feature in Pokemon games, and they didn't retire Typhlosion either even with the Pokemon leaks. Actually they've literally never retired any Pokemon ever.
At worse they'll just block people on twitter who share Luigi Mangione memes using the Nintendo character.
As for renaming Luigi. laughs They literally have multiple spinoffs named after him (Mario & Luigi, Luigi's Mansion, Dr. Luigi), it'd be a PR and branding nightmare. It'd be like changing the name of America itself.
If Luigi were a minor side character (like Toadsworth, a character they actually did retire for unknown reasons), maybe, but uhh... no.
They're only talking about this because of Luigi, they're scared, and billionaires only think about sharing when they're scared, Sadly they're only THINKING about it
Deregulation and privatization? For something that's already a racket that can kill to save money? Might as well start pulling a Canada and pass around the Vault-Tec Plan D's
There is no skill shortage, the skill shortage is absolute bullshit. There is nothing you can learn in a College Classroom that they can't teach you in the field 9 out of 10 times
It is what it has always been. A desire to fill six figure positions with people willing to do them for the minimum wage. (Protip: The exchange rate exists)
If it makes you feel better, he's also in a Japanese school uniform, so he's probably around the same age.
For good measure point out that people migrating into the country are often because the 1% are offering them otherwise high paying jobs at below minimum wage, but thanks to the exchange rate that's like a million dollars an hour back in their home country.
Don't make it obvious that you're on the Left or they'll ignore you on principle. Make it sound like you're "one of them"
Sorry I just don't see the connection between "Your brain is lying to you" and "You are the only real person."
