Yeah, it fits perfectly with the other thing they don’t want their people to know about (anarchy).

Thank you, general secretary of the *checks notes* Communist Party of China…

The Council of Islamic Ideology said the technology was being used in Pakistan to access content prohibited according to Islamic principles or forbidden by law, including “[…]websites that spread anarchy […].”

So they admit it’s not (only) about morals, but also (or mostly) about their position of power not being threatened.

BTW: By blocking access to the internet, they stop people from following the order in the Quoran which states that people should educate themselves.

Freetube on Linux, newpipe on android and maybe a private invidious instance.

A few games mostly use the d-pad, but yeah: if you can’t even properly play Mario 64: why bother?

I thought the MMP doesn’t really cut it for N64.

If we do that, Hitler already won.

A few notes (in red)

These screen grabs are so obviously fake. How can you actually cite them as sources?

Israelis aren’t used to that when it comes to hatecrimes against Palestinians.

It’s a solid business model: People pirate roms, because they can’t buy them.

If Nintendo would sell their old ass games as roms, we wouldn’t have the problem of them suing emulators into oblivion.

It does have grifters trying to “crack a code” in the bible. This “prophecy” is based on one of those grifters’ prophecy.

I don’t want to kinkshame freaks who like eldritch abominations. I wanna kinkshame pdf file creeps.

I don’t have a comprehensive definition of “weird”. But having “concerts” and election propaganda in a multiplayer shooter isn’t weird to you?

Yes, it is still weird. Wewve just gotten used to it.

The weirdness of that stuff is the reason people don’t like fortnite.

I miss the days when the justice system replied to the statement “this might hurt our business” with “too bad”. (In the case when sony lost to that PS emulator)

I’m not the person to clear up this legal grey area. I just think that AI porn often has these incredibly young faces which makes the enjoyers of that porn extra creepy.

Most AI porn images looks quite underage to me, to be completely frank. :/

What exactly am I “pulling out of my ass”?

Nobody said it’s a person

You’re talking about Nintendo as if it’s a person with phrases like your bullet point 2.

I’m not defending anyone. I’m describing how a corporation is likely to react in capitalism. I don’t condone any of this: I don’t condone copyright laws, I don’t condone legal threats, I don’t condone capitalism. I just try to describe how systems behave without trying to get morality involved by claiming a company is (or is run by) an or several assholes.

I also don’t condone nuclear weapons when I describe the strategy of deterrence by mutually assured destruction.

To be clear: I agree that both weed and emulation is a victimless “crime” and shouldn’t be prosecuted. However, I don’t think corporate lawyers and judges agree with us on this point.

Edit: also, Nintendo usually gets what they want by threatening to go to court without actually doing so. So the actual legality doesn’t actually matter too much. Certainly doesn’t when it comes to Switch emulators shutting down.
