    Those businesses weren’t failing. The decline in sales is perfectly timed with right wing outrage. 30-40% of this country is now triggered by rainbows.

        Sorry. Sales wasn’t the right term.

        Their stocks have dropped by an average of 20% when others have done the reverse.

        Corporations like to see their stocks go up not down. FYI.

          Their stock prices dropped because they missed previous earnings. SBUX and BUD are up big since they beat. Share prices are closely correlated with earnings FYI.

          Stop pulling nonsense out of your ass to elicit an emotional reaction.

            Stop being emotional

            Ok, dude. You seem really unable to have a discussion at all. You’re the only one who seems upset on the attack and doing the keyboard warrior dance.

            I don’t mind being corrected, or discussing the details. I’ve shown no emotion in this.

              Be as emotional as you want, I don’t care, I told you to stop pulling nonsense out of your ass. This was never a conversation, I’m not interested in watching you try to move the goal posts until you stumble on something correct. Don’t spread misinformation in the first place.

                  Am I? So far you’ve called two people emotional and illiterate and projected your anger onto people who are calling you out on the bullshit you’re spreading.

                  But am I also annoyed that people like you say whatever the fuck you want on the internet to drum up unwarranted outrage without any evidence to back it up forcing someone else to actually research it to prove your statement wrong only for your response to be stupid nonsensical forum sliding bullshit like this and by the time they’ve fact checked your fucking bullshit you’ve probably made a handful more straight up incorrect claims? Yeah, sure, who wouldn’t be.

                    No. Someone called me emotional, and I quoted them. Then replied that they sounded like the only emotional person in the exchange.

                    No one is drumming up outrage. I’m not outraged at all. You’re lashing out, and how many times are you going to type out “fucking” and “bullshit” and act like I’m the one freaking out or being hostile.

                    My claims haven’t been disputed. Stocks suffered. You don’t attribute it to backlash. I kind of get the feeling that there’s some relationship. But I admit there’s no way of knowing. But regardless, I could see why some companies would rather just avoid the entire thing, but I’m happy Nintendo is taking a stance instead of being silent. My original post was only intended to give them some credit.

                    Y’all aren’t winning anyone over by fighting with people who are willing to have a simple discussion. Not sure why you think this website needs such aggression. It’s weird. Maybe Twitter would be better for yourselves.

              I don’t mind being corrected

              Then act like it. You are wrong. Nothing else to discuss. Stop acting childish name calling people who correct you with actual data/facts.

                    Your account is 30days old. You came here from Reddit.

                    Can you answer my question: Calling people what? What am I calling people. You didn’t make a complete sentence. Maybe if you were less shaken up over this you’d be able to complete your sentence.
