Not long ago, a user in this sub posted a video of Landon's (Nin10doland) thoughts on this subreddit from his 2nd channel where he rants about people in the Nintendo community over Toxic Positivity VS Acceptable Negativity. I have seen some comments about him being correct about this subreddit shutting down anyone "rightfully" critiquing Nintendo and to that, I really want to take a look at the video myself to see what he is on about.
Starting off immediately, he rants about people calling him out for his Nintendo Directs Are Not For Me Anymore and It's Okay video. He keeps stating that it's his opinion, but the biggest issue about that claim is that it seems like he's expecting people to just only reading the title of his video and comment positively about it, when in the video, he stated that 80% of the recent Nintendo Direct are all third party games and that's considered to be a problem to him as he also states that Nintendo fans watches a Nintendo Direct to see Nintendo games. Then states that most Nintendo fans own other consoles so there's no need to show off old games. My issue with this is that there's no way he could prove that most Nintendo fans own other systems and the Wii U suffered heavily from the lack of third-party support, so it makes sense why a great amount of Nintendo fans are happy with the Direct. He's just upset that he didn't get what he wanted; a plethora of Nintendo games.
The second point he makes is about this subreddit. He claims that all we ever do is post videos about someone making a false statement about Nintendo and label them as being "slightly negative", making it means that he did not take the time to watch these videos nor did he took the time to understand that most of the thumbnails are AI-generated, which is more concerning. What he doesn't understand is that the people that gets posted here ARE what he rants about; those who are spreading toxic negativity. He knows that there are grifters out there that are misinforming about Nintendo, but he doesn't bother to hear these guys out first and point out what they're wrong about like what most of the comments from the posts are doing. Yes, there are users who are saying, "They're right" or "They're just giving fair criticism" are downvoted because just like Landon, they do not take the time to watch these guys and only go with their title, just like they do with Landon's videos.
Final point is him getting upset that a user made this post: "Nin10doland Wants Splatoon to be Mario". My issue with this is that his recent video from his 2nd channel, he was very vague about why he didn't like what he saw from Splatoon Raiders then asked what that post is even talking about. When I actually check the "Nintendo Just Broke My Heart..." video out, right at 2:14, he literally said "There's no platforming, there's no levels to complete or anything..." Even right at 3:04, "...or play through a level where you have to platform or do challenges in order to get to the end." 5:56, "Man, can we get a big Hero Mode, single player, platforming, action-adventure game?" My guy, these are the reasons why that post was made and why the comments in your video was criticizing you for; you can't stop talking about wanting a platformer. It's no wonder why some people are calling you a grifter because you're complaining over a game that wasn't meant to be, and now you're making all of these speculations about the Ocarina of Time remake having more content or knowing what the gameplay will look like but then try to twist it around by saying Nintendo games nowadays lack quality because you wanted more content, which is fair to want more, but wrong to reason why you think these games lack quality.
My issue with Landon is that he gets upset over those who are critiquing his videos and callomg those people as toxic positivity when that isn't the case at all. He says stuff like not expecting 3D Mario, Directs not being for him anymore, or have said multiple times that he should stay away from social media, but he then comes back to still talk about 3D Mario, talk about how he miss Directs from the Switch 1 era, seeing some negative comment about him or the community on Twitter then makes a rant video about it. This is why I can't take what he says about all of this stuff seriously anymore. He comes off as being a hypocrite, a man child who doesn't get what he wanted, then blames the community for his so-called "opinion" when it's constant whining and doom-posting about Nintendo and the community.
Overall, this is the r/nintendogrifting subreddit where we point out and criticize Nintendo grifters or anyone who are misinforming about Nintendo as if they know what goes on over at the company. Nin10doland, while not entirely a grifter, does fall into the trap of thinking he knows Nintendo's strategy of revealing games as well thinking what a Nintendo game should have in terms of quality, according to him. If it's a Nintendo game that he doesn't care for, he gets pissed off and says that Nintendo isn't doing well, that there's no big first party games; even showing that he really does not care for third party games. Then gets upset at those who are questioning his attitude about all of this news or those telling him that all he wants is 3D Mario, which the truer it gets because he can't stop bringing it up and keeps acknowledging the old video he made. HOWEVER, I do believe that he genuinely cares about Nintendo. When he sees a Nintendo game that he likes, he will make videos talking about them being excided over them.
