The relationship between Nintendo and their fans in Japan is basically Stockholm syndrome at this point

@darkviking7135

It definitely was an overreaction because 1. She didn't know it was a modded cartridge. 2. Even Nintendo was like "Yeah, this can happen. Just private the VOD." But people have been cancelled for even dumber reasons.

@Witty_Whiskers

Eh, she's not canceled and it's not all of Japanese Twitter, just her Japanese antis. Pekora made her stance clear, and Hololive contacted Nintendo directly. They said, 'Oh, just private the VOD and be more careful next time.' End of story. Japanese idol antis are just crazy and will hold onto any bit of drama forever, but it's really just a big nothingburger.

@KrysKing1521

She'll never be
canceled. This
is PEKORA. ♥️

@NamePending9

Lmao she hasn't been cancelled, just twitter haters using an excuse to hate her, you know the usual. She still streams consistently and its not like Pokemon have stopped the rest of Hololive from playing their games.

@berthomahendra1146

Well she's a victim 3 times. She bought a fake, she get cooked for it because she thought it was real, and demanded to apologize because she thought it's a legit cartilage.

@zorfmorf2414

It was a major case of misrepresentation of the issue. It was portrayed like she intentionally misled everyone pretending that she bought an old cartridge and getting really lucky but instead having faked it all. In practice she most likely unknowingly bought a fake ROM.

@captainjames8799

Nah her audience needs to give her an apology

@FaintAcrobat

They take piracy and copyright way more seriously in Japan than anywhere else.

@aki9438

Totally crazy to try cancel someone for that

@wolf101con4

That's insane! In the west it's generally considered ok if not morally correct to rom hack or emulate old Nintendo games because of the inaccessibility of them

@wqyc

Oh? Defending a company who would sue a baby if their first word was Mario.

@CruelViper88

The girl was genuine excited...doubt she even knew it was a hacked Rom.

@dragneelfire2483

Keep in mind, these people are also the lifeless weirdos who cancel “idols” who actually have boyfriends in real life because it’s “cheating” on them.

@timr.2257

Japan has a weird obsession with simping billion dollar companies against piracy with insane punishments 🙄

@The_K1tten_Earter

The only cancelleable thing she did is actually buying a copy instead of just downloading a ROM online

@ntrg3248

People defending billion dollar companies is actually insane. Copyright law is already scumbaggery as it is.

@m1bl4n

Pirating Nintendo games is a morally good thing.

@eduuklee9453

this is just how powerful companies are in japan. because nobody else care about hacked roms.

@rodrigogordon7338

So she got scammed ,thinking she bought a legit copy of the game. And they’re mad at her, not the person that scammed her? That’s wild.
