    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.

      Again, this is not a discussion, this is also not a debate, this is me telling you to quit spreading bullshit. I don’t have to try to “win people over”, you’ve “lost them” by spreading misinformation right off the bat, which, ironically, is pretty much Twitter’s whole thing right now, but I guess every accusation is an admission with you isn’t it?

        Stocks went down. Fact. Companies are inclined to avoid controversy. Fact.

        Imo, Nintendo made the right decision.

        Stop crying about my non controversial position being too much for you to allow on the message board.

            I said broadly sales went down for these companies. That was inaccurate. Bud light sales definitely did go way down. Imbev sales are doing fine. And I acknowledged quarterly sales for these companies were fine. I clarified that although my comment about sales across the board was mistake.

            Nonetheless, stocks are still down, and companies tend to like to retain value for their shareholders. Now whether you don’t attribute the decline of their stocks while others are across the board have been rising is kind of a guess.

            But I definitely can see why board members of these companies would be inclined to just have no take in the matter, and avoid the variable altogether. Whether it’s misguided or not, or just plain wrong. Yet I’d prefer they stand up for marginalized groups and civil rights. And that’s what Nintendo seems to be doing in this one particular instance. So I give them some credit.

            Seems not worth fighting over for several days tbh. But I’m here for you.
