    So Captain Bonespurs McSyphilis can freely use Nintendo IP to troll libs online with no consequence whatsoever, but Normie McRegularPerson can pour their heart and soul into making a fan game, fan art, or modding consoles, and they literally will be arrested, thrown in jail, convicted of a felony and be forced to pay Nintendo for the rest of their lives as a literal wage slave.

      That’s United States of America. The country of free speech, and the land of opportunities. The democracy every country should strive for!

    When Trump uses American copyrighted stuff, he gets sued.

    If Japan wants Trump to stop they have to start a war.

    That’s what Trump wants. Another war.

      Nintendo is fully capable of suing Trump for it, they just don’t like suing people who can afford attorneys fees.

        Trump can’t afford discovery. Too much truth for him.

              So you’re pretty sure of stuff you’re very wrong about and don’t wanna check your facts. It’s very MAGA for someone so anti-Trump.
