Hey nintendo, your rainbow capitalism does not excuse your anti consumer behavior and general shittiness towards your biggest fans.

i could almost forgive them if they fully animated mario with the suit declaring he accepts gays and voiced by charles martinet with a speech of around an hour long
I'll forgive them if they rescind all cease and desist orders sent to fan games/animations/comics/etc.
I just realised Mario’s moustache goes far beyond his mouth.
It's a classic cartoonish exaggeration. Nobody has that nose shape either.
Or that shape dick.
What?
Look at the roster of F-ZERO GX and tell me there aren't at least half a dozen LGBTQ reps among them
"Here at at Nintendo, we treat all our customers equally.
Like absolute shit."
Hey at least they dont discriminate /s
They hate, not discriminate
Hello, gay Bowser
They're not really enemies. It would be unprofitable for both if one destroyed the other for good.
It's, "So long, gay Bowser!"
Thats the joke
I thought they were trying to be welcoming to the gays
They are, it was an exclamation of surprise at Bowser's ... dimensions
Mr. Gay Men Watch
So long gay Bowser
Have fun at your gay wedding
We are all Mr Gay!
I am ALL gay on this blessed day :-)
Wife makes gay with a rolling pin for extra flavor.
Wait you skipped a step
Speak for yourself!
The comment we needed
Duddits!
Nintendo can fuck off with this ploy. They've sued the living shit out of anyone and everyone, including people just opshop selling retro Nintendo games and consoles; leading to hatred and disgust by, once avid, Nintendo gamers and fans; and now, suddenly, they love the gays? Fuck that lie up their money shitting shitter hole!
I get it, I also agree Nintendo is an awful, greedy corporation that happens to make fun games from time to time. However, this is a pretty big deal in Japan. For a company to openly support a still quite socially, culturally taboo topic there, is pretty crazy to see.
Anyway, I guess my point is, if they're condoning and supporting the advancement of civil rights for a stigmatized demographic, I think that's important, even if the company is still a shitty, greedy husk.
They're only doing this because public opinion has already shifted towards acceptance of LGBT people.
True. Rainbow capitalism is still capitalism and only done to get more money, BUT look at the US right now and how much it sucks for the LGBTQI+ community. If the decision is between rainbow capitalism and capitalism that dosn't even pretend to care, rainbow capitalism is the better choice.
pirating nintendo games somehow feels extra good now
Bilking customers to make money line go up = hating gays?
of course nintendo would support the gays, gay luigi has been an open secret for years
How nice of the princess
Dear pesky okamas,
The Liberal Democrats and I have taken over the National Diet. Same-sex marriage legislation is now a permanent guest on one of my seven Lib Dem tables. I dare ya ta sign it if ya can.
forgot this wasnt tomorrow
I lean over to loudly whisper at a bunch of shitty conservative businessmen in expensive suits - I heard it was gay to wear a business suit.
rare nintendo w
Well of course, he wants to leave a good impression for all those gay men
fuck you Nintendo, treating everyone just as badly isn't something to be proud of
