There's this post I absolutely hate that starts going around every once in a while where the OP talks about how "all of these GAME DESIGNERS and CRITICS that dare SPEAK ILL OF GREAT DADDY NINTENDO obviously don't understand that the reason their controllers are cramped and suck is because they're aimed at children!!"

Which like, hey, fair, children should have gaming peripherals aimed at them, I acknowledge I'm not the target audience of Nintendo's products. It's still a stupid argument to make though, because

The main criticism the Switch controllers get isn't over their size, it's over the fact they're made of paper mache and dreams and break if you look at them funny.

The GC controller, which many believe to be the pinnacle of ergonomic and intuitive controller design, was created by Nintendo back in 2001. I was 5 years old and already combing mofos in Melee like it was nobody's business. Incidentally, I can still use that controller today and find it perfectly comfortable. Clearly this isn't an either or situation.

Anyways, the multi-billion dollar mega-corporation doesn't need you to put the mean critics in their place for them lol trust me people can objectively state how much Nintendo sucks for a multitude of reasons until they're blue in the face and it's not going to affect them in the least.
