I'm new to the ant-SJW community and I am confused by why many Soyboys are typically associated with the Nintendo Switch Ninendo doesn't appear to be pro-Social Justice and, unlike Sony, generally keeps out of politics. What are your thoughts on the console and why is it associated with SoyBoys?

Nintendo is currently playing everything so safe as to be boring, which makes them perfect for the kind of people who have no standards and just want to turn their brains off. As a long-time Nintendo fan, It honestly makes me depressed to see what they've become....
When it comes to games like Breath of the Wild I completely disagree, they took a large risk with that game. It was a Zelda game with no dungeons, and your weapons constantly broke, and it was still very fun. Not perfect, but very enjoyable.
When it comes to Mario though, they are becoming quite boring. I did not enjoy Mario Odyssey very much.
I don't mind Mario. I've played all manner of them over the years, since my childhood. They've often got the occasional absolute classic of a tune in, in particular. Very ripe for remixing and reimagining. But in comparison to the Legend of Zelda Franchise? Eh, I don't think they compare that well, tbh, as a games franchise. Not in terms of world building, art or game design. Could just be personal subjective taste, of course.
In terms of general purpose mascot design and mythology, there's basically no brand more successful over a comparable time period as the Mario games, though. Not that I can think of.
