Miyamoto himself has said he does not value Nintendo games as art, but as entirely as products:

If you have an issue with this viewpoint, /take it up with Nintendo/. That's literally the entire point of my post is pointing out why this viewpoint might put him at direct odds with film critics who's viewpoints he finds "strange" when he tries to pull that philosophy into filmmaking.
Inkblot wrote:I guess "Nintendo" is such a vague enough descriptor that it kinda doesn't matter how we define it because however we ascribe and interpret that value/intent can vary so wildly person to person.

Here's what I'll say:

✅Nintendo will do anything to ensure its business is profitable

✅Nintendo prioritizes and PROTECTS a culture and environment that fosters creativity and reinvention within videogames development because it understands that it's dead in the water without it

^i will say the second bullet point is something MANY MANY companies unequivocally do not do
Thank you, Mister Nintendo. Very cool.

Thing is, even with all the fucked up shit they did in that prison, they didn't have rape dogs. Like I totally believe claims that there's sexual abuse in those IDF prisons but rape dogs is such an extraordinary claim it needs some hard evidence to believe

I'll correct them if they say blatantly false shit at family events, but that's as far as it usually goes. And thankfully the ones who are still left are mostly Republicans of the "I don't like Trump but I still watch conservative media" slant, so they don't glaze or slobber over the Nazi in Chief.

My family still likes to laugh about the time I kicked my grandma out of the house for being racist at the dinner table. And that includes the Republican side.

Quote: Cop User Banned (6 Weeks): Extremely inflammatory rhetoric with regards to genocide
Erpy wrote:Which is essentially what's happening right now. Whenever people mention the word "genocide" in this thread, they implicitly mean the Gaza war, as if that genocide is the only one that's ever happened, will ever happen and will ever matter. But it's not.

You could make a pretty strong argument that the complete obliteration of USAID by Trump and Musk is a genocide as well. One that is happening in slow motion, certainly, but pretty much every expert with a grasp on the long-term effects has mentioned that the numbers will get there. And unlike Gaza, where the central actor in the driving seat was not the US government but a foreign head of state with agency of his own, this one's a 100% the result of Trump being allowed to return to power.

And that's not even getting to the effects of the War with Iran and the energy and food crisis that the Hormuz blockade will result in. Spoiler alert: lots of lives will be lost as a result of that as well. Lives that would have been spared if Trump had not been allowed back into the White House. Another one that's entirely on the uniquely unqualified man who was returned to the White House in 2024 because "Iran will not block the Strait of Hormuz because they will be too busy capitulating to us with tears in their eyes while calling me sir" is not a thought process any other president would ever entertain.

Seeing all this, when someone says "Genocide is my red line for voting", what I'm really reading nowadays is "I'm so upset that I was unable to prevent genocide A that I couldn't be bothered to prevent genocide B anymore". No vote or non-vote in 2024 was gonna restore those lost in Gaza back to life. But the right outcome in 2024 could have saved a lot of lives that have been lost since or will be lost in the near future. If you really care about innocent lives being lost, not just in Gaza but everywhere, and more importantly care about lives that can still be saved, not just those that have already been lost, not voting allowed the wrong horse to cross the finish line and with the power of retrospect will be a pretty big stain on anyone's anti-genocide creds.
The extremely inflammatory rhetoric being that he took the claims of being against genocide seriously rather than cynically. lol

Dude, the Shah was not put in power by Westeners. The Shah is a title, it's the traditional monarch of Persia/Iran. The last one's family came to power after overthrowing the previous monarch line.

Nor is the Islamic Republic the result of the Iranian people overthrowing him, the Islamists hijacked the revolution and were only ever a minority of it. They violently seized power after the Revolution ala the Bolsheviks. Also amusingly how the Reza family came to power, the last Shah's father was originally the Prime Minister of the "Constitutional Revolution" and then crowned himself king.
