TikToker Takes Responsibility for Pokemon Branding Kerfuffle

It is sad that I find a person taking responsibility for making a mistake newsworthy but the fact is that in our increasingly selfish society it is newsworthy.

Pokeprincxss, who has rebranded to Digitalprincxss, has changed her handle, taken down merchandise that infringes upon Nintendo intellectual property, started paying back the money she has already made off her merch, and taken responsibility for having made a mistake.

We live in a society where businesses and people don’t take responsibility for anything they have done; whether it is pumping prescription drugs into every small town across the country, poisoning the water of a whole city, or having a hit and run with a small child. It’s not a new thing that people don’t want to take responsibility for that which may get them into trouble but we also don’t see very many people or businesses taking responsibility for their actions.

Nintendo issued her a cease and desist order and I’m sure she has been able to work with them to figure out the best way to correct this mistake. It is the use of the word mistake that makes me so proud that she has done this.

Speaking with Kotaku, she adds “I want to make it clear that I’m not trying to play the victim in the situation, and only hope to be somebody people can learn from and not make the same mistakes I did.”

I’m sure she has been financially hurt by this but it may also bring more people to her TikTok and OnlyFans pages. I hope Digitalprincxss is able to turn this into something good for herself because in my opinion she needs to be praised.
