    It’s so nice to see all the Nintendo haters. I wonder if they’ve taken down any of my videos. I’ve gotten no notifications.

        I’m pro fuck Nintendo, what boot?

        I literally run a project I’m waiting to get one of these legal threats about.

          I think it’s how your first comment was phrased. It’s not 100% clear you are saying you wonder if Nintendo has taken down your videos.

          On first read it’s as if you wonder whether Nintendo haters will remove your videos. The benefit of the doubt is scarce on Lemmy, so people seem to have misunderstood your comment.

            Fair enough, I did mean Nintendo Haters as a compliment. It is the morally correct position.
