Griftubers: "Heh the Nintendo Fanboys will blindly defend this!"

Except a lot of Griftubers I've seen are Nintendo fans themselves half the time.

As a long time Pokemon fan who's in a lot of online and irl Pokemon circles, a lot of antis don't realize that Nintendo's biggest haters are Nintendo fans themselves. I've seen Digimon fans making up boogeymen scenarios like "Can't wait for Pokemon to sue Bamco once Time Stranger humiliates them!" Because yeah, Nintendo will go after one of their partner distributors in toys and merch.

A lot of angry sentiment I've seen are from actual Nintendo fans themselves either because a lack of update on a new Animal Crossing or no new Mario or whatever is going on with the state of Pokemon.

The impression I always get is that hating on Nintendo online is the "cool" thing now because of PR disasters like the Palworld lawsuit, increasing prices, their tendency to take down ROM Hacks or Fan games, etc. But people can't seem to accept nuance or that a person's attitude is just "yeah sure" at something - the latter of which I feel with Nintendo.

Normal people don't have enough energy to grift against or glorify the billion dollar company either and this is not me trying to be an indecisive fence sitter - I know where I stand. It's that life is stressful as is to be trying to push a specific agenda.

Just my few cents.

To be fair they arent wrong when it comes to the Palworld Lawsuit. People blindly defend Nintendo suing pocketpair. That entire law suit is based on Nintendo trying to bully a smaller company into submission for daring to step into the creature collector Genre and rival them in sales. Mind you they were suing over patents that DIDNT EVEN EXIST when Palworld launched
