I edited the post out cause I'd rather get not get into a whole thing. But my point was that even if you are using it in good faith, more often than not it isn't. I'd rather avoid people lending any credence to it by suggesting there is some legitimate definition behind it all. Cause there really isn't. But like I said don't really feel like debating it so last I'm gonna say about it for now.

Every word has a truthful definition. But I understand your point.

Either way Nintendo is not one to be pushing political agendas, nor pandering. They make games because they are fun, it’s as simple as that.

Words are only useful to the extent they have a common understanding. Some terms are designed specifically to be heard differently by different listeners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics)

Nintendo absolutely panders. Every entertainment company does. If you're in a business where you're selling things to customers, your job is to try to figure out what they would like and give it to them. It only became a problem when the group which used to be pandered to exclusively is not the only one being pandered to.
