Nintendo sends a letter calling out Lance Thirtyacre for his discriminatory statements (Creator of Jeffy & Super Mario Logan)

[Meelow]

Good on Nintendo for calling this out!

Edit: Wait, this could be fake. If it is than I am sorry.

I know Google exist but who is this person. Needs more context. There are thousands of content creators.

 

[Kalor]

Who are they and what did they do?

 

[KoolAid]

I am gonna need more context here

 

[Pankratous]

That doesn't read like an official letter to me at all. Is this legit?

He has a lot of channels that uses Nintendo content in it and he has a huge children viewership.

 

[Adulfzen]

wait how do we even know this is a real letter and not a fake sent by someone who didn't like the content creator ?

 

[Khanimus]

Context please?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Damn. Nintendo signing "very truly yours" has me triggered.

 

[Aurongel]

Who the fuck is this person and what proof do they have about the authenticity of the letter...?

 

[AgeEighty]

I would love to believe Nintendo had actually done something like this, but yeah, it doesn't pass the smell test for me. It doesn't read as official correspondence, going into far more detail than 1) most legal documents would do and 2) Nintendo have historically done. The formatting is also wonky.

 

[Dennis8K]

Context, pls.

Confirmation, pls.

Did Lance Thirtyacre himself post an image of a letter he got from Nintendo? Where is the original image of the letter from?

 

[smuguire]

I feel like if this was real it would have been sent as a PDF on company letterhead, not just a straight e-mail

 

[Okabe]

Huh

 

[Dolobill]

Compared to the joycon C&D by Nintendo, this does not seem authentic.

It was locked, and then it was unlocked (+ OP edited to include the channel link) for some reason

Even the Twitter account it's from has doubts about it's authenticity

Ahhh my bad

I deal with a lot of correspondence from law firms and legal departments in my job. Never have I ever seen one ended with "very truly yours". Unless that's some weird American thing (like your nonsense date formate and imperial measurements), I'm calling fake.

Agreed. No legal document of reproach would end so cordially.

 

[PaulloDEC]

This doesn't read like a legit legal letter, nor does it seem in character for Nintendo.

 

[slothrop]

People really need to realize many of us don't have a clue who these two-bit youtubers are and we need a preface to explain why they're important to understand why this is newsy.

 

[Xterrian]

Well thread seems done

 

[Stopdoor]

Bullet pointing out the marginalized groups seems a bit over the top, really. Doesn't make it seem very legit.

 

[Deleted member 10629]

It looks fake. I doubt a company would be that accusatory and open themselves to libel on an email.

In any case it would send a cease and desist which I'd think they're longer than one page and a half.

 

[Dyle]

That's fake as hell

 

[Lothar]

No explanation of what Jeffy and Super Mario Logan is, and something that might be fake regarding what Nintendo sent to them (source: random twitter account), okay, nice thread

 

[Zips]

Who? What'd they supposedly do?

There's a severe lack of context here.

Also that letter is fake as all hell.

 

[Vareon]

I feel so old not knowing who these people are despite being a Nintendo fan for 20+ years.

 

[Westbahnhof]

Oh yeah, that's totally real.

Very truly yours,

EDIT: Wait, the newest video on their channel is like a year old?
EDIT2: Oh, I guess there are more channels

 

[MrSaturn99]

I see I'm not the only one who was scratching my head at this, although I read about it before this thread.

Context would be appreciated, yes.

 

[BY2K]

So wait, did he fake a C&D letter for clout?

 

[Jawmuncher]

This thread was supposed to be locked, seems I might've accidentally unlocked it as I was editing the title awhile back.
Regardless, thread locked at request of OP.
