Also known as "we are fine with the status quo and won't rock the boat." Nintendo is apparently fine with the way the world is and won't bother to do anything that steps out of its politics.
I guess this answer also helps explain why they have been quiet when it comes to gaming's problems with misogyny and racism and be silent while people in gaming are terrorized by hate campaigns and inherent bigotry.
And in the end it's no wonder they are like this given this response in this thread where people think that it's possible not to be political. Maybe Nintendo's 'apolitical' stance is fine with people who aren't hurt by Nintendos implicit politics in their games (gender, race, sexuality, etc.) and their hardware (class, labor, exploitation).
So it is apparently okay for Nintendo to say they are not political while they still churn out games with white men as the protagonists, with a lack of recognition of LGBTQ, with making people of color invisible, with being quiet about the world beyond games, and so on. Because for them and others unaffected, "it's just games and fun".

Why do they have to recognize any kind of sexuality in their games? Cant we just focus on games, what the fucking is wrong with the world

Bisexual Hispanic here. I don't give a single fuck about this. I just want Super Mario Odyssey.

Continuing from the last thread, I want to see if /v/ stands by Reggie's little statement and can apply it to Metroid.

Let's see if /v/ values a game's gameplay over it's pretentious message.

Blah Blah Blah. What an annoying faggot/cunt. Games should ALWAYS focus on gameplay, if they can add more good things: great. But there's a reason people still download and buy Tetris to this day. That's also the reason Nintendo won this year at the E3.
