>>712503029I didn't even remember
>>712500927 happened, and neither does anyone else. Do you think there's anyone silently seething right now that AM2R got DMCA'd? No, of course not, that was NINE fucking years ago, pretty much nobody remembers, and it's easily available to play with a simple Google search. Do you think the people who are outraged today are talking about the SNES version of Mortal Kombat being censored? No, of course not, because they don't remember it, the current narrative is that Nintendo used to be "different" and cognitive dissonance that says otherwise doesn't help what they're currently pushing. There are people right now who have memory-holed and historically revised the fucking WII U as one of the best Nintendo consoles ever, their good ol' days.
It's outrage culture, it's a way of keeping yourself entertained online pretending you're saying something that matters and being able to feel like you're part of some social event or zeitgeist. And it will be forgotten because that'd what people do. It matters performatively, not objectively.
