Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don't just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people's lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.

comparing their shitiness with Blizzard's is like comparing apples to oranges.

That's... what I said.

My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they're the devil, when in reality they're just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I'm not trying to convince you it isn't. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it's the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?

But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy "whataboutism" to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn't mean it's not worth criticizing.

As for individualism, it's no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.
