I want to see the 117th Special Lawyer Forces BN take on US' DHS/ICE:

Gotta Catch 'em All

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Nintendo already made a statement that they aren't touching that shit.

However, Don McGowan, Pokémon’s former chief legal officer, told the gaming website IGN that he “wouldn’t touch this,” predicting it would “blow over in a couple of days,” citing the company’s aversion to publicity and noting “many of their execs in the USA are on green cards.”

A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

It's pure damage control. It's a shame to see it.

Don't get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that's futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won't get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.

Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that's asking for too much I'd say.
