Funny thing is, I'm actually banned from Reddit. And I'm used to having to argue with shills to the point where I couldn't trust anyone.

It's so cathartic that Lemmy isn't nearly as stupid as Reddit is. Perhaps I shouldn't have lashed out like I did.

    But if I go too easy on people, it tells them "It's okay to support evil, fun-hating bad guys who love to bully their fans and ruin the industry." And it's bad enough that people are willing to fund this. But it's also SO FRUSTRATING when people DEFEND Nintendo like they're unpaid PR. What would they have to gain from this if Nintendo WASN'T paying them to lie?! Seriously, the mental gymnastics people use to defend Nintendo with is insane!

    "Erm- akchewally, Nintendo charging $80 for worse versions of better games that you can't even own is morally correct. I studied economics PURELY for the reason of defending $80 games! Being against any evil thing Nintendo does is entitled. You should be more grateful for unlikeable villains."

    And they way they PRETEND that we're the "quit having fun" people, when it's actually Nintendo and their SHILLS who are anti-fun, not us!

    How is it that we managed to abolish slavery? How do we have an age of consent? How do we have minimum wage? Everyone in power is evil and hates us, but why are women still allowed to vote? How come minimum wage hasn't lowered or been removed entirely?

    And more importantly, how do we get good things to happen again? Because it seems like no matter where someone is on the political spectrum, THEY'RE ALL EVIL and they hate us. (And even if they didn't, they're still controlled by evil billionares.)

     

    Seriously, it makes no sense! Pokemon have LITERALLY been established to be eaten ever since Generation 1, and Pokemon are still eaten in-universe to this very day. New food-themed Pokemon are made ALL THE TIME, and the eating hasn't stopped.

    Know what the worst part is?

    YOU CAN'T EVEN QUESTION THEM!

    They get all angry and pissed off, and they refuse to answer the question. "People will find a way to ruin it, and you don't need to know how!" they say, as if literally ANY conversation can't be ruined.

    Pokemon is a dark franchise that is LITERALLY about animal abuse and child gambling, and it's full of innapropriate themes. Despite popular belief, Pokemon is NOT an innocent franchise at all!

    Why can't we talk about eating Pokemon if it CANONICALLY HAPPENS all the time?! Why the fuck can't we even question them?!
