Hm, not sure if Nintendo is the right target here. Sure, they are popular with a certain crowd, but the argument is not super convincing. Why would a Japanese company that has a global business unnecessarily get involved in American politics? What would there be for them to win? New tariffs? Try to find an American company and shit on them, that might work better. Like Disney, Amazon, Meta, Apple, for example. Apple in particular might be a good target at the moment. Their new products are shit, people hate the direction everything is taking, but still have a deep attachment to the company (weirdest kink ever, if you ask me).
To me, Nintendo here just acts as a big corp doing big corp things. Make as much money as possible and wherever possible, don’t mess with politics. They would be a better target if this were about Japanese politics, although unfortunately nobody cares about politics here and the fascist lot is also on the rise (“Japan first” lmao).
At a certain point, when a government is objectively and quantifiably evil, its no longer just politics. Have you seen the video in question? I got the song stuck in my head and all I can think of as i hear it is people being sent to literal concentration camps.
The Fascist Regime in the USA is being allowed to use their IP while making racist slop propaganda to make it seem cool or funny while tossing people into concentration camps. Where is the line? If the Israeli government used the same IP assets in a similar way to show off how they are committing genocide and murdering children trying to get food aid, would that then be a step too far?
This is damaging to Nintendo, and if they allow it to continue unchallenged they are complicit and deserve a boycott.

I think it’s the hypocrisy of going after Palworld while being silent in the face of obvious evil.
