I’ve noticed in a lot of Reddit threads the outright hostility towards Nintendo games and Nintendo fans in general gaming subreddits.

I really hope this isn’t the case here.

    Wait. You really hope an entire collection of instances and, furthermore, the entire collection of communities within each instance, will have the same exact opinion, of -at the moment- being pro-Nintendo.

    You really must be joking right?

    There is absolutely 0 chance you will find one opinion spread among an entire community, let alone here in the Fediverse where it’s multiple communities.

    Each person has their own opinion and/or agenda and that’s the best part. I really hope this side of the entire continues to not be able to be labeled a singular thing since that is immoral and outright incorrect, on all fronts.

    So to answer your question: Who knows? To each(user) their own.

        Every place is the wrong place to ask this question.

        Putting a label or asking a community to reveal their manifesto is not a good look or how conversations should be started.

        The correct thing to do is participate in communities you seem to like and if you find out that you don’t agree with that community on one or more fronts, then by all means, please create a new instance and/or community on your own and run it according to your preferences. This is the intended purpose of the fediverse: If you don’t like it, do it better by yourself.

        I wish to hear all opinions in here by all kinds of people.

        I wish to hear the worst and the best arguments on a topic.

        Doing what you ask, as in join a pro-Nintendo community will 100% have a bad outcome since it will, by definition, be an echo chamber.

          This is completely wrong. If there’s more discussion for a product like the Steam Deck vs the Nintendo Switch despite the staggering difference in the size of the install base than that community is BROKEN

            I love Nintendo and have a Switch I still use, but there’s clearly a lot more to discuss about the Steam Deck right now than there is that console. The hardware is much newer, and there are far, far more questions people are asking about it as it’s a much more open device. Nobody’s asking how to set up multiple stores on the Switch, for instance, and for obvious reasons.

            This is completely wrong.

            You think allowing users to express their opinions is wrong contrary to gathering people of one opinion only?

            I don’t think there is a further point to be made in here.

            This is such a weird opinion as a switch owner. Communities are anti-nintendo because they talk about the steam deck more than the switch? Come on. I remember when all the cod kiddies hated on nintendo because you couldnt shout racial slurs at your opponent and you’re mad that there’s not enough talk about a console that’s been around for 6 years at this point? Communities might not be for you
