The Department of Homeland Security has sparked a Pokémon backlash after using the kids’ game to promote ICE deportation raids.
The DHS social media team posted a video to X on Monday of dramatic immigration raids—including one that was bungled yet still posted online by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—spliced with animé imagery from the popular Japanese cartoon and collectibles game, which is part owned by Nintendo.
If nintendo doesnt sue them, they shouldnt uave the right to sue anyone anymore.
Nintendo, for once in your copyright-bitching life, please.
Everybody should start talking about how Nintendo is supporting ice and the deportations and watch how fast they respond.
Access Denied
I guess I was caught by the ICE department of the Daily Beast.
Is this really for honest and for true the DHS account? Is it someone's last day? Did they get hacked? Did they really think this was in any way a good look?
So many questions. I dont know what's real any more. Still funny as fuck.
If Nintendo shows anything less than their usual unjustly overzealous, orders-of-magnitude-above-necessary litigiousness, that’s a very bad sign.
The one time I'm rooting for Nintendo to sue all of their balls and tits off
Just more bizarre dehumanizing propaganda, as usual.
Also if intoxication manslaughter was THE WORST, fewer politicians would have it on their resumes. We're lucky if they even get charged for killing people with vehicles, drunk or not. Many also advocate vehicular manslaughter for protestors.
I know I am living in the worst timeline when I am rooting for a company as scummy as nintendo.
Also fuck ice and krusty nope
