Adding to what Kolanaki said, these kinds of abuses are unfortunately pretty commonly unreported in Japan because of social pressure against the victim.
In particular there’s a practice of mentally abusing workers until they resign to avoid firing them.
Sexism and homophobia are alive and well because they’re rooted in a culture of conformity to social norms which punishes those who stand out.
And I don’t mean to be xenophiobic about this; it’s just information I’ve gotten from LGBT manga authors and the news. I in no way think there’s anything inherently wrong with Japanese people or that their culture is without value. I don’t really trust any large corporations to begin with.
That’s fair. But that just makes them a standard evil corporation. I just mean to say that calling nintendo a supervillain is a hyperbole compared to companies actually doing crimes against humanity.
Hey if they are I will definitely put them up there with the most evil gaming companies. It’s not why they are getting called a “supervillain” for that now though. I’m not defending them, just heard a lot worse from ubisoft or activision is all. Nintendo is definitely annoying the shit out of me though.
Nah my point was that nintendo is just your standard evil corporation. I think the super villain part is a bit of a hyperbole compared to say, amazon or nestle.
Well yeah but they are not sexual harassment evil or driving people to kill themselves evil are they?

They’re a Japanese company, so chances are pretty high they do that, too. Especially the drive to suicide part.

I can’t tell if you’re defending nintendo or not, man. I am weirded out by consumers defending multibillion dollar corporations.

I think theyre all shitty and adjectives to describe them being literal or figurative don’t matter.
That’s fine. Fuck nintendo and all that. Just trying to put whatever evil things nintendo is doing in perspective to actual problems.
it is an actual problem, but I am starting to think I’m just feeding a troll, honestly.
oh well.
I’m not a troll. I have made myself pretty clear here several times. But let’s not waste each other’s time.
They are but keep it pretty well hidden
