Looks like Nintendo did not like the DHS's unfunny video

I was called a madman for this

Please Nintendo do your thing

This is most likely the totality of their response.
- Bro why does nobody here have faith on Nintendo's legal team's capacity to sue people 😭
  
  Supposedly, as per the pokemon company's former chief legal officer: most of their executives in the US are there on green cards and are likely worried about losing them if they move legally on this.

  There is a big difference between issuing takedowns to small YouTubers doing lets play content, or garnishing the wages from a pirate for the rest of his life, and picking a fight with DHS when you’re a foreign company and there’s a dictator in office.
  
  Nintendo are not a company that go after people that can fight back. They are bullies just as much as the current administration, the best that they would be able to do would be to get DHS to pull video, there's no way they'd get compensation for this so they really don't care.
  
  Because that not how facism works. You dont sue the fuhrer.
  
  Nobody is questioning the capacity
  
  Because I have more faith in the legal team being cowards and not going after the government than I do them actually doing something about it.
Please Nintendo do your thing
They won't.
Nintendo are famous for making examples out of people who do not have the means to fight back in court. Say what you want about Trump, but he's the king of stalling for time in court, and in this case, he has an unlimited amount of taxpayer money to fight his legal battles, and he has an unusually strong grip on the judiciary, so Nintendo could still conceivably lose the court case if they get assigned to a MAGA judge.
This will be the end of it. They've divorced themselves from the DHS shenanigans and that's all they were obligated to do in the interest of protecting their brand.
- I think you are right. Pathetic scumbags over at Nintendo.
  
  I but don't worry if you add Pikachu to your short YouTube video saying how it had a profound impact on your life they'll be sure to sue you right to the poorhouse.

- Does anyone actually know the original source of the gif, I want to watch the original scene
  
  Found it but never seen it myself. https://popculturereferences.com/when-jason-momoa-was-meme-famous-before-becoming-actually-famous/
Sue them and use pressure like you did against Yuzu & Citra.
Otherwise, go frag yourself.
They sound not so eager to sue this time though, they sound unapproving but intimidated.
I say, grab that version, swap the ICE clips with other stuff and use it like it's public domain. (with throwaway accounts, of course)
- And if they don't like it tell em "My taxes paid for the DHS version. My rights to fair use allow me to create transformative works. And my own labor made it so."
