We don’t like getting “political” on The Outerhaven unless there is a true need, and in recent times, there has been a true need. Over the last month or so, the government has ramped up raids and attacks on people they believe are “illegal aliens” in the US. Except, as anyone who has read the ACTUAL news knows, that couldn’t be further from the truth. They’re doing basically terror campaigns to make people fear ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and more, arresting people illegally, including US citizens. They even used Pokémon and Halo to try to promote themselves as the “good guys.” Yeah, really.
Our fearless leader, Keith, wrote about the Halo incident, and I wrote about the Pokémon one, where the actual publisher denounced what happened with their IP, making it clear they did NOT give permission for this to happen. I even brought up Microsoft’s silence on the matter in the latest Nintendo Entertainment Podcast
But the question remains, why did DHS and ICE do this? Well, on BlueSky, a journalist, Alyssa Mercante, got the answer, and it’s as infuriating as you’d expect it to be:
Yeah, there’s so much wrong there, it hurts, not the least...
