Crazy how the saying "the 2 companies you dont want to fuck with are Disney and Nintendo" is now down to just Nintendo. I never thought it possibly the Mouse would be a pussy bitch, but here we are
politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Bending the knee to a weak little bitch like Trump is just embarrassing.
The real lesson here, if you've watched Andor, is that nobody is coming to save you. There's no jedis, no magic, no superhero, no company coming to save you. There's only what you can do. If you are able to join up with your friends and neighbors, all the better, but even then there's no savior coming. Not even Nintendo.
Everything is in our hands and in our hands alone.
Lots of love, friend.
Nintendo just doesn't give a fuck.
It's also a Japanese company why does it care about American politics.
I'd boycott Disney, except I haven't given them any money for years now. They are an awful company and stifling political speech is perfectly in line with their prior actions.
The problem Is Disney owns everything.
While Disney is caving in this circumstance, the real evil is Sinclair Broadcasting. They are wielding the power in this situation, and President Pedophile wants to eliminate the one limit on their growth that exists. They want to gobble up more stations so they can force their fascist propaganda into more U.S. homes.
Don't get so wrapped up in hating Disney that you miss the ones that are actually pulling the strings.
Fully Agree that Sinclair is a problem, but you can't really boycott them aside from just not watching their channels.
Also, I kind of disagree about them being the real puppet masters. I've worked for an affiliate before. The network holds all the cards in that relationship. Sinclair saying they won't run network content will just cause them to lose their affiliate status, ABC can just not provide them any content at all, then what will they put on the air? Especially since Disney owns a great deal of syndicated content as well. It's a pointless bluff statement and ABC/Disney know it, they are just choosing to go along with the fascism.
