Maybe this just hasnt happened yet, but I'm waiting for some pushback against Nintendo and Disney for brainwashing/indoctrinating children with corporate mascots masquerading as classic characters.
It seemed harmless, but now that I see 30 year olds that have an obsession/mental illness with these company's IP/corporate mascots that I think there might be something wrong with marketing to children. Even the ones aware they are being dragged on nostalgia trips have no defense. (Me included, I haven't found a Zelda game since TP above a 7/10, yet I feel compelled to play every single one. This is even more apparent with BOTW/TotK where despite these being different from Zelda, an open world with zelda skinned on it, I still need to play it.)
EDIT: Yes I agree about religion, sports, potentially colleges, and that adults can be brainwashed too.
