I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. .......... ........ ...... .... .. . and that's why I wasn't allowed to bring that Tifa body pillow with me on the plane, and why I'll never go back to Japan.

Its not rlly Nintendo's fault sadly They def have their shitty practices, but some are just cuz IP law is flawed af and no one wants to revisit it to make it actually do its job

isnt that the entire point though? that this isnt just a nintendo problem, its a problem with the law in general but oops, people cant have that, because thats "making it woke/political" because all people want to do is scream for internet points

Reminds me that the whole 'American companies need to destroy all fan-works of they'll lose their legal protections' thing that gets cited so often is actually fantasy. Managed to get an industry lawyer to admit that it's just an untested legal theory. A boogeyman tale lawyers tell their clients.
