I get it, I also agree Nintendo is an awful, greedy corporation that happens to make fun games from time to time. However, this is a pretty big deal in Japan. For a company to openly support a still quite socially, culturally taboo topic there, is pretty crazy to see.

Anyway, I guess my point is, if they're condoning and supporting the advancement of civil rights for a stigmatized demographic, I think that's important, even if the company is still a shitty, greedy husk.

    They're only doing this because public opinion has already shifted towards acceptance of LGBT people.

    True. Rainbow capitalism is still capitalism and only done to get more money, BUT look at the US right now and how much it sucks for the LGBTQI+ community. If the decision is between rainbow capitalism and capitalism that dosn't even pretend to care, rainbow capitalism is the better choice.
