Fair point. My wording was wrong.
Nintendo has never denied replacing the screen.

Nintendo has never denied that they had to make minor adjustments. The inner electronics all survived.

My sister had the similarly-themed Dreamphone in the 90s.

It’s the difference between Edgelord definitions of fraud (the whole system is a fraud, man!) vs actual PPP loan fraud (why yes, USA… I really own a company with 20 employees. Please give me 6 months of 20 employees salaries which I must prove went towards salary)

Did you mean to reply to someone else?
I don’t understand the logic of your reply to my post.

Another interesting fact about people with Williams Syndrome…
They often have a super-nice and friendly personality and they smile, talk and laugh a lot.

You… specifically said you used to enjoy Queen and now, specifically because of the resurgence in popularity and airplay, you stated you now turn the radio off when you hear their songs (these are the words you chose).
So, um… it seems it did destroy your appreciation for Queen. Instead of that, you replied that “I don’t force my opinions on anyone.”

I was one of those kids listening to BR on the radio after Wayne’s World.
Do you wanna know something? I (and basically all of my friends) had NEVER heard Bohemian Rhapsody before. We thought it was hysterical that Wayne, Garth and their friends were lip syncing this weird opera and we loved it. I assume the same thing happened to kids watching the Queen movie. Maybe they recognized a few songs, but my guess is that throughout the movie, they probably thought “oh Queen made this song too???”
So basically you have 2 choices. Either you don’t have the WW or 2019 movie - a world where /u/Voiceoflunacy never has to be annoyed by Queen on any station other than classic rock, but no one under 60 has heard of them other than some weird 70s band… or /u/VoiceOfLunacy lives in the world we are now, where every generation rediscovers how timeless and awesome Queen’s music can be.

I’m sorry, I didn’t understand your post. It destroyed you that a new generation discovered Queen?
