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 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
I too would like to see the mass castration on ICE agents. Hopefully Nintendo keeps them in jars of formaldehyde in their corporate offices.
They’re only allowed to do that if they can find a way to summon them for battle after the fact.
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.
