DHS should not have fucked around with Nintendo

While it would be funny. Nintendo won’t do it. They wanna be on friendly terms with orange boy so govco keeps helping them slap down ROM sites and prosecuting emulation enjoyers.
This type of content by the DHS could literally damage Nintendo’s brand, and all of us are painfully aware at how strongly Nintendo protects their brand. I’m fairly sure they WOULD throw the weight of all their lawyers against the administration for even daring to associate human rights violations with them.
The trick is to reply to posts about it saying something like “I can’t believe Nintendo are supporting the actions of ICE. I refuse to let my kids anywhere near Nintendo products!

The trick is for it to obviously cost them more to not act.

Good luck with that, hasn’t worked so far.

Not that you shouldn’t boycott the shit out of Nintendo if you want to, just don’t hold your breath while waiting for them to do something that isn’t profit motivated.

Duh, just get enough people on Twitter to say they’ll cancel their Nintendo Online subscriptions and sell their Switches if they refuse to act and they’ll do it in a dime.

That is a rare case. If people actually cared and kept their word most non-maga owned news outlets would be out of business. Yet, people still watch, read and subscribe to those outlets despite them constantly posting about how crappy those orgs are. People are creatures of comfort. I imagine most that cancelled their subscriptions turned them right back on once they heard Kimmel was no longer suspended. Most major retailers and companies that dropped their DEI policies saw little to no loss.

Companies respond to big money, if enough people turned away from those companies they’d behave very differently
