Nintendo is a pioneer. It's an industry problem, but there's no reason they can't work to improve inclusion in their stories and games. They don't have to maintain status quo.
It's something to definitely talk about, but this is not the thread and the onus shouldn't just be on Nintendo.
Lmao, fuck off. It wasn't an overreaction to expect them to put out a statement condemning white supremacy in light of what's happening. That being your primary concern here is beyond embarrassing.
?
See above. The overreactions weren't about the lack of statement on twitter.
So what do you think we should talk about? Should we not talk about the inclusion portion of their statement, talk about the current state and how it can get better?
Now you're just putting words in my mouth and deliberately ignoring what I said. Oh well, going off of the previous thread, I can't say I'm surprised. Nice of you to make assumptions on my privileges as well
Who gives a shit if it's weak, that shit doesn't help me as a black man, doesn't help my Mom My aunts my sisters my cousins my girlfriend as black people.
I should have make clear that I was just responding to your question and not trying to argue that black characters are represented nearly as enough in Nintendo games. The problem is not that "Nintendo doesn't make black characters" it's that it's the exeption not the norm, like in the rest of the industry.
You know a thread can be made about that (like many have been made in the past on this specific topic)? This isn't really linked to that statement, given how this is a problem for the whole industry and a whole other debate.
Their statement literally talks about improving inclusion. This is one way they can improve. What else do you want to talk about here? Just praise their statement?
