Duh, just get enough people on Twitter to say they'll cancel their Nintendo Online subscriptions and sell their Switches if they refuse to act and they'll do it in a dime.

Also, people literally forced Disney's hand by cancelling all of their subscriptions. Bullying corporations is extremely easy now that we have access to their social media.

I'd say good luck getting sintendo fans to do this, but I'm a delusional optimist.

On one hand, I hope it works and on the other I wouldn't be surprised if the biggest bootlickers would go around mass reporting and doxxing anybody who does this.

Sintendo. That couldn't be a typo. I like that.

Similarly, I have zero hope Big N nintendogs would ever do it too. They're okay with N just destroying competition while they keep producing slop with Pokémon. They have a whole nation that still supports them even if the rest of the world boycotts N.

They did, but the difference there is that disney already took a position and realised they'd fucked up directly (fiscally, disney absolutely does not give a fuck about morality or ethics ) and then had to backtrack.

Nintendo haven't (actively) taken a position yet, if they do then they'd have to face the backlash of whichever way that went in the court of public opinion.

by not taking a position they only get the backlash from the passive "support" of a position.

That is a rare case. If people actually cared and kept their word most non-maga owned news outlets would be out of business. Yet, people still watch, read and subscribe to those outlets despite them constantly posting about how crappy those orgs are. People are creatures of comfort. I imagine most that cancelled their subscriptions turned them right back on once they heard Kimmel was no longer suspended. Most major retailers and companies that dropped their DEI policies saw little to no loss.

Companies respond to big money, if enough people turned away from those companies they’d behave very differently
