It’s people, but colloquially refering to a collection of board members making decisions by the company name they make decisions under is fine
Yes
They shouldn’t, but they do for various reasons: it takes effort to find out who the specific people we should blame are, and what other companies they’re associated with. It takes willpower for people to change their buying habits. It’s easier (I’m guilty of this too) to moan and carry on than to make real change in our own lives.
I agree. I want to promote discussion on the Nintendo community so ppl can start thinking and make it easier to change their buying habits. These companies don’t care about us they care about our wallets and they’ll fuck us over from here to the moon just to get an extra couple bucks out of us.
That’s a good goal, but unfortunately it’ll be tough to convince people. You’re fighting an uphill battle against people’s nostalgia, and against the things they find comforting, just to get them to not live in denial and to act on something that deep down they definitely already. It’s hard, the world is hard enough as it is and I’m sure you can understand why people who do already know that Nintendo is just a soulless corporation will bury their hands and buy the newest Mario anyway.
I think on number 2, it is not purely colloquial to use the word corporation, this is a legal definition too. There are different laws and regulations for a corporation than for a person. If a person physically prevents another from taking life saving medicine, and that person dies, they might be tried for manslaughter. But if a corporation does it via a policy decision, it’s perfectly legal and is actually a great business decision worthy of investment.
I was specifically talking in the context of a “what can we do as consumers” discussion rather than anything legal, although there are deffo legal aspects to the meme.
Does legality equal morality?
Are corporations self running entities or is it people behind the corporations making decisions?
Should we as consumers hold the ppl running the corporations accountable?
Why do executives get to reap the benefits of shitting on consumers but not the consequences?
Imo:
What do you think?

But corporate PR slop got the normies convinced otherwise
It is a class war, but normie don’t want to fight it

Good luck 🫡

Oh, that’s true, you’re right! Good point.

Just because its permissible doesn’t make it proper. Nor does the fact that it’s legal make it ethical.
