Yeah. There's video game companies that literally make games that are used for military training (sometimes purpose-made, sometimes just as a sideeffect of making the game they want to make), and Nintendo is definitely not that company.
OK. I won't push you for the details, since you've stated you will not elaborate.
But, for anyone else reading, I honestly want to know what these terrible things were; it matters to me how companies behave and have behaved in the past. I cannot for the life of me find anything online, bar like "they did some propaganda (but so did many other companies)". Please weigh in if you know.
Nintendo has sued a guy so hard he needs to pay nintendo for the rest of his life. I think this is not really on the level of crimes against humanity as the other companies on the meme, and the meme is actually edited to replace a millitary company with nintendo.
I've never heard of nintendo doing millitary stuff. Everything I see online says that nintendo's main business until the 70s was printing hanafuda cards. Its pretty easy to find out about ibm's involvement in the holocaust though.
I think supporting Ukraine is good, but so does the MIC. Surely you must recognize that they benefit greatly from a neverending conflict. It is important to recognize the difference in motivation.
the neverending conflict is only continuing because Russia refuses to end the genocide and retreat back to their pigpen. doesn't take a geopolitics genius to realize this
Nah, it was a result of the continuing collapse of competition in the defense industry.
Raytheon and United Technology Corporation (UTC) were stagnating so they merged to create Raytheon Technology Corporation in 2020 with the Raytheon brand being split off to a subsidiary, along with Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney. After the merger the new company was being traded under the RTX ticker, which it fully rebranded to in 2023.
I worked for one of their subsidiaries of subsidiaries around that time and rumor mill was the RTX executives were getting pissy about the name Raytheon being used and not the full name, so Raytheon the subsidiary company was getting all the attention from Raytheon Technology Corporation the parent company. So they spent an absurd amount of money on a rebrand and they gave all employees a corporate gift which has this sad little branding on it saying "Raytheon, an RTX company"
Gets hated on just because it's complex. You and I are the same, Military Industrial Complex. You know, aside from all of the killing, but I'm not about to stop now.

Japan got up to some shit in world war 2. Nintendo had some military contracts.
I will not elaborate, and i don't think you want me to.

You really don't want to know the war crimes Luigi has committed.
That is why he got so much PTSD in Luigi's Mansion.
