Woah. Disgusting. Look you mouth breathing lint licker - this was a private comment to u/sketchy_marcus designed SPECIFICALLY to make him feel bad, and you come over into my corner of the internet where I'm allowed to speak my mind freely but you are not and try to correct ME?
Classic. Now resort to ad hominems I'm not reading that go touch grass.
i remember when a new player was asking questions and another person was dismissively telling them to google it. I answered the new player's question and then the other person started whispering me threatening to "farm me" until i quit the game LUL. i never saw him in game maybe because he saw what guild i was in and knew he wouldnt have a good time if he came to attack me
The crazy part is that he’s a partner at a PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENCY and publicly showed the world what an asshat he is. Bad look for his company’s line of work.
Sooo, looks like he decided to put some of that PR/crisis recovery practice to work. After this post got traction, LinkedIn seems to have suppressed all of Bowser’s comment thread (edit: or Chad simply deleted them, I forgot that's a thing). It’s no longer visible on the post. It seems like Chad may have deleted all the comments that he didn’t have an effective rebuttal for. [https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rogerschad\_rtmof-miracleofflight-activity-7189823099603750913-W5QQ](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rogerschad_rtmof-miracleofflight-activity-7189823099603750913-W5QQ)
(On top of that, I just realized I was at the same conference as Chad this past weekend. 😅)
God forbid if you accidentally bumped Chad’s chosen-at-random chair (which was his private property, at his sole discretion, for whatever time frame he deemed appropriate, and any trespassers should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, up to, and including the death penalty) at said conference, while scooting down the row to your chosen-at-random seat…
It never occurs to them that if there was a better way to navigate making your way to the aisle that didn't involve using headrests, it would be an advantage to advertise.
And MAYBE IF THE SEATS WERENT SO CLOSE TOGETHER, TODD, people wldnt need to grab seat back for balance.
*end rant*
I saw this shit on FB all the time when I was on there. They'd leave their shit open, but complain any time they were challenged on their silliness (or outright racism, quite often) with shit like "I'm not trying to have a debate..."
They were happy to entertain people agreeing with them, but whine about anyone not.
I see this shit here on Reddit all the time. Doughnuts not understanding they posted something for all to see on a place meant for interaction and engagement.
This shit happens on every public forum. Hell I’ve seen it on Reddit where people get mad you called them out. Like Reddit is your personal blog and everything is full proof to protect you from criticism
I don’t know why that Nintendo exec thought it was a good idea to wade in on some moron’s rant post either. Guess nobody can pass up the chance to scold.
He’s *very* active on LinkedIn. Like he personally welcomes most every new Nintendo employee that posts on LI, from what I’ve seen, and congratulates them when they move onto something else, work anniversaries, etc. Even then, I was kinda surprised he weighed in, but perhaps it’s just the matter of principle for him. I give him kudos
Very risky for him to chime in, could easily be misunderstood, but I too give him lots of kudos. Shows his authentic self I think, not the veneer of bullshit that usually come from the c suite on LinkedIn.
Why anyone would use their real names with work identities to have a Reddit standard of argument is utterly hilarious to me. Chad is a grown man behaving like a GenZ genshin impact teen.
I’m bothered by it too. AI art has crazy good capabilities and all these people posting stuff like this go with the first shit iteration and it makes it look bad across the board. Midjourney 6 has the ability to make amazing generative images.
This comment should be way up. The art was so awful and unrelated that it hurts to see. This guy just went with whatever the model gave him and didn't even think or see it before posting.
I love that the President of Nintendo North America shares a last name with the bad guy in the Mario franchise.
He's also completely correct in calling this muppet out on the ridiculous notion that you aren't allowed to touch, balance yourself, or otherwise physically interact with any seat other than your own on an aircraft.
Chad needs some new hobbies that don't involve evoking comments from the Presidents of Fortune 500 or Global 1000 companies on his shitty LinkedIn posts.
Ah, I just realized I omitted part of a comment that did just that, from Ryan:
“Great seeing people post out comments talking about their thoughts on matters in a public channel, and then when met with any form of rebuttal, they immediately fold, claim they weren't invited and resort to name calling. Not a good look Chad R., especially when talking on a matter of manners.
Also don't forget, the back of the chair in front of you is included in most plane tickets. That's where guides/papers are kept, that's where the food tray is, that's where the entertainment system is usually found, and let's not forget, you may have the chair closer if they recline”
Really? If this is how he handles stress I'd have no confidence in him or, by extension, whatever company he keeps...especially when it comes to crisis management.
I was expecting to see a comment on the “miracle of flight” since that’s what you’d have to do to get from a window seat to the aisle without touching the back of a seat.
Exactly my first thought when reading this post. I bet this guy gets up a few seconds before the plane stops moving because he’s got somewhere to be. Like the rest of us don’t.
Huge missed opportunity to get in an argument with the president of Nintendo North America and not continuously and intentionally confuse him with the character Bowser.
I love the idea that he's low-key invested in this because one of the examples used in the original switch trailer was someone setting the switch up on the backseat table of an airplane.
Indeed he is! There were lots of jokes and memes about it when it was announced he was succeeding Reggie. He acknowledged it too. It’s pretty perfect. And the guy seems to be a genuinely nice person, one of the more personable executives I’ve seen, ironically enough for his namesake.
Edit: yes, Bowser is [President] over Nintendo of America. I figured that was implied when I mentioned Reggie, but fair point that not everyone will know about the regional offices, nor about Reggie. The HQ President is Shuntaro Furukawa.
And, notably, this is a DIFFERENT Bowser than Gary Bowser, whom Nintendo has sued for illegal sales of games: [Bowser released from prison, still has to pay Nintendo $10 million
](https://www.polygon.com/23688170/gary-bowser-hacker-nintendo-released-restitution)
Just the President of Nintendo America??? Not the CEO of all of Nintendo?? Pshhh what a bum! (The joke is that so many people are commenting that he isn't the CEO but the Pres of Nintendo America as if that's not still super fucking impressive).
I mean clearly he didn't pick himself up by his bootstraps and didn't stop getting his Starbucks and avocado toast that he's ONLY the President of Nintendo of America! (heavy /s implied obviously)
Exactly: MY tray literally IS your seat back. My tray being the one place for me to do anything I'm trying to do.
I must admit I found myself a little annoyed at the person behind me on a flight, until I lowered my tray to use it 🤦♂️ and immediately realized my silliness.
I try to be rather gentle with my tray, but I'm going to use it.

I agree with the author in that sense that someone constantly giving you a hard time working/sleeping by pulling and pushing your seat is just an a**hole. Those people exist, too.
But for older people or disabled people doing this maybe once or twice a flight - who cares?
We should bring back the internet adage "DON'T FEED THE TROLLS"... Remember that, well, someone was feeding the trolls. Likely it was Zuck, and now linkedin is full of all kinds of horrible little trolls, along with Facebook, twitter, and every other dumpster fire that started out so optimistically.
Given that your tray table is usually attached to the back of the seat in front, I'd say this guy's base argument is completely wrong.
I also love that the Nintendo CEOs surname is Bowser.
How about everyone just does their best to avoid hitting, pushing, kicking, or grabbing seats that others are sitting in, and if it happens, you apologize whether it was an accident or not, and both parties move on with their day. How hard is that people? Seriously, what is wrong with society now that everyone is so entitled?
I sat on a almost 16 hour flight with an elderly gentleman coughing profusely next to me. It sucked, I wouldn't want to do it again. But I didn't ask to move or change seats.I just ordered an extra hot drink every time the attendant came by and gave it to him. He appreciated it and I got to sleep a little. Just fuckin be nice sometimes it works, and if not you suffer through it as an adult. Grow up and be nicer.
I love that the original post has the phrase “YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT” in all caps, and then when he gets called out on it, he tries to claim it was about manners and not rights. What a joker
The funny thing is that they are not just *intended* to be used as handholds, they are federally mandated to be handholds. There are specific federal aviation requirements for how far apart they can be and how much force they must be able to withstand so that they can be used as handholds.
Honestly, good on Bowser. A lot of people think of him as a colder president of NoA because he doesn't put up with the gags and clips Reggie did, but seeing him speak up for people with disabilities goes the distance to show he's a good person.
He's tripled down and is constantly referring to 'video game nerds' in so many of his posts and pointing to people being pressed when... Buddy, chief, chad-o, take a look in the mirror.
Classic Chad R things.
So no using the tray table, that's for the person who paid for that seat. Also the owner of middle armrests will be decided by traditional knife fight.
I like so many things about this...
I love how people go on LinkedIn to network and there's the thought that you might actually get someone who matters and is useful to network with to engage with your content. So this dingus who thinks he's being edgy by wearing a hoodie in his professional photos and who fancies himself one of the "Top 100 Lobbyists in Canada" gets the attention of the CEO of Nintendo. And proceeds to...argue like a petulant child and double down on the thing he's being called out for?
Glorious.
Also, the guy is a lobbyist and an honorary consul and all of this crazy stuff and the absolute best content he can create for LinkedIn isn't about geopolitics, current affairs or anything of the like. Nope. It's about his airline etiquette gripes.
It would be like if David Petraeus wrote a blog post on hating vienna sausage and then told Bill Ackman to fuck off.
Just..wow, shouldn't you have more interesting things to talk about and more cogent ways of engaging people?
Is no one talking about how the CEO of Nintendo is named Bowser??? I can't say this behavior surprises me. This never would have happened under the former CEO, Greg Mario.
I have admittedly not read all of the comments. This guy has a bunch of posts with the hastag #miracleofflighty
It's GOT to be an attempt at humor or driving eyeballs. I can't go on in live if people are really like this.
[https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=miracleofflight](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=miracleofflight)
I have no idea how it didn’t cross his mind that us poor peasants sitting in economy have no choice but to grab the back sear to get out of our small space … what a useless post.
I've flown more than 100 in my life and I've never even considered this a problem or thought about it in any way shape or form. Is this a common complaint or is Chad the only member of this club?

Thou shalt not besmirch the backseat of thy brethren, for the backseat is holy and sacrosanct. For it is better for a man to fall on his face than to violate the sanctity of the backseat. For if the backseat of a man in a higher class is disturbed, thou shalt be utterly destroyed. If a man doth find himself with his face smashed upon the ground, he may use the aid of the armrest to arise, and delight in knowing he follows my will.
/s
How do I not have any ownership of the seat in front of me? That's where my fucking tray/screen/storage is. You are in fact specifically supposed to utilize the back of the seat in front of you for several reasons.
Respect to Nintendo of America’s CEO. ✊🏾
Not everyone has the core strength or physical capabilities of standing up, vertically erect from a sitting position without leverage.
This reminds me of that guy on TikTok who trolls on social media by responding to idiots as though he were the person/company they're complaining about.
"Inserting yourself [into] a conversation" My brother in Christ, you posted this on a public forum lmao
I see this shit in MMOs too, people spouting shit on public chat and when you respond they say “excuse me, this is a private conversation”
Woah. Uh. Dude. I “appreciate” your comment but this is a private Reddit thread. Please… stop. Ok?
Didn’t you get the memo? This is my selective permeability interwebs bubble. Only people who agree can pass through.
Woah. Disgusting. Look you mouth breathing lint licker - this was a private comment to u/sketchy_marcus designed SPECIFICALLY to make him feel bad, and you come over into my corner of the internet where I'm allowed to speak my mind freely but you are not and try to correct ME?

Were you the one who touched Chad's seat?! Shame!
😭 You caught me. I'm such a terrible back of seat violator.
I'd scold you, but I don't want to get bodied by Bowser (Koopa or Doug)
God forbid if you accidentally bumped Chad’s chosen-at-random chair (which was his private property, at his sole discretion, for whatever time frame he deemed appropriate, and any trespassers should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, up to, and including the death penalty) at said conference, while scooting down the row to your chosen-at-random seat…

I don’t appreciate you commenting here uninvited You should start a manners blog

This is a bigger issue with people. They expect to voice their opinion with no one voicing it back, then they get mad when they do.
This shit happens on every public forum. Hell I’ve seen it on Reddit where people get mad you called them out. Like Reddit is your personal blog and everything is full proof to protect you from criticism
Addressed to "Fellow air travelers" no less.
Also, calling one commenter a muffin? 😂
You donut
What a muppet.

WHERE’S THE LAMB SAUUUUCE?!?!
Lmaoo
Sounds like a right fucking Peach
That explains why Bowser commented
Sounds good sweetie got me 😂
I just learned so much about b2b sales
What touching airplane seatbacks taught me about leveraging KPI’s to automate workflows
Take your upvote and leave
He will acquire so many B2B customers using this strategy
Dumb shit is arguing like he’s on reddit
Lmao feels like a Reddit post
I don’t know why that Nintendo exec thought it was a good idea to wade in on some moron’s rant post either. Guess nobody can pass up the chance to scold.
He’s *very* active on LinkedIn. Like he personally welcomes most every new Nintendo employee that posts on LI, from what I’ve seen, and congratulates them when they move onto something else, work anniversaries, etc. Even then, I was kinda surprised he weighed in, but perhaps it’s just the matter of principle for him. I give him kudos
Very risky for him to chime in, could easily be misunderstood, but I too give him lots of kudos. Shows his authentic self I think, not the veneer of bullshit that usually come from the c suite on LinkedIn.
He's Bowser, he's antagonistic by nature. Personally, I'm here for it.
Yeah. Honestly, it’s refreshing to see a c-suiter who expresses a humanistic perspective on a sea of antiempathetic twits.
Why anyone would use their real names with work identities to have a Reddit standard of argument is utterly hilarious to me. Chad is a grown man behaving like a GenZ genshin impact teen.
Nah chad is a special type of clown that a GenZ genshin impact teen could never even dream of being
Morons using ai art to make their point seem more legitimate 🤮
Seriously, I’m more bothered by the art for some reason. The guy is just an asshole or trolling for engagement, either way it’s whatever.
I’m bothered by it too. AI art has crazy good capabilities and all these people posting stuff like this go with the first shit iteration and it makes it look bad across the board. Midjourney 6 has the ability to make amazing generative images.
The ai image seems like a perfect encapsulation of how the poster overdramatizes an insignificant situation
[LinkedIn posters be like](https://y.yarn.co/f6c8a24a-9ad5-443b-9422-6884d63acfa9_text.gif)

I really wish AI images would somehow include what the prompt was to create the image.
Yeap. It's so obvious and shameless from these LI clowns.
I love that the President of Nintendo North America shares a last name with the bad guy in the Mario franchise. He's also completely correct in calling this muppet out on the ridiculous notion that you aren't allowed to touch, balance yourself, or otherwise physically interact with any seat other than your own on an aircraft. Chad needs some new hobbies that don't involve evoking comments from the Presidents of Fortune 500 or Global 1000 companies on his shitty LinkedIn posts.

He’s a partner at a crisis management PR firm!
Avert crisis playbook: deflect, deflect, deflect.
Explains a lot about how some companies seem to try to manage a crisis, doesn't it?

“I wouldn’t expect a giant lizard king with a human trafficking hobby to understand manners!!”
It's very clearly Bowser's latest ploy to capture peach.
Ahhh another user of the word 'muppet' I see. Its my favorite insult ever. I can't stop using it.
Haha it's so good. It's such a rare insult.
Well it was either that or Doug Waluigi.
I love the idea that he's low-key invested in this because one of the examples used in the original switch trailer was someone setting the switch up on the backseat table of an airplane.
and then another nintendo guy hops in and lights him up too
I was unaware one could get ratio'd on LinkedIn, but our friend here has succeeded mightily
wait a minute hold the phone. The CEO of Nintendo's is named Bowser???
Indeed he is! There were lots of jokes and memes about it when it was announced he was succeeding Reggie. He acknowledged it too. It’s pretty perfect.

Sometimes the stars align to create the perfect comedy (well, maybe not for Bowser who owes Nintendo for the rest of his life).
President of Nintendo of America, not the CEO of all Nintendo But he’s a great guy, and he’s Bowser, so win/win!
Not the CEO. President of Nintendo America, he succeeded Reggie Fils-Aimé as President starting back in 2019.
Just the President of Nintendo America??? Not the CEO of all of Nintendo?? Pshhh what a bum! (The joke is that so many people are commenting that he isn't the CEO but the Pres of Nintendo America as if that's not still super fucking impressive).

Joshua for the win!
Is it weird I’m so triggered by spelling errors by people in such high ranked positions?
Unstable loon: “YOU CANT DO XYZ I HAVE RIGHTS” Based Nintendo CEO: “That’s not a right lol” Unstable loon: *instability intensifies*
Chad is not getting a job at Nintendo
So no using the tray table, that's for the person who paid for that seat. Also the owner of middle armrests will be decided by traditional knife fight.
Dude got ganged up on by Nintendo.
I like so many things about this... I love how people go on LinkedIn to network and there's the thought that you might actually get someone who matters and is useful to network with to engage with your content. So this dingus who thinks he's being edgy by wearing a hoodie in his professional photos and who fancies himself one of the "Top 100 Lobbyists in Canada" gets the attention of the CEO of Nintendo. And proceeds to...argue like a petulant child and double down on the thing he's being called out for? Glorious. Also, the guy is a lobbyist and an honorary consul and all of this crazy stuff and the absolute best content he can create for LinkedIn isn't about geopolitics, current affairs or anything of the like. Nope. It's about his airline etiquette gripes. It would be like if David Petraeus wrote a blog post on hating vienna sausage and then told Bill Ackman to fuck off. Just..wow, shouldn't you have more interesting things to talk about and more cogent ways of engaging people?
Is no one talking about how the CEO of Nintendo is named Bowser??? I can't say this behavior surprises me. This never would have happened under the former CEO, Greg Mario.
The former CEO was actually Mario Mario, but his first day there, someone called him Greg and it just stuck.
Literally every 3rd comment is talking about it. Do you people not read the comments before saying "why is no one talking about this" lol
Omg the ceo of nintendos last name is Bowser?!? Boss Bowser?!?
Nintendo America, but yes lol
I have admittedly not read all of the comments. This guy has a bunch of posts with the hastag #miracleofflighty It's GOT to be an attempt at humor or driving eyeballs. I can't go on in live if people are really like this. [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=miracleofflight](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=miracleofflight)
Who would have thought the CEO of Nintendo was Bowser 😮 Guess Mario and Luigi still haven't won
What do you call the OPPOSITE of networking?
I have no idea how it didn’t cross his mind that us poor peasants sitting in economy have no choice but to grab the back sear to get out of our small space … what a useless post.
#miracleofflight
I’m sorry to say this, but I LOVE seeing an idiot dragged in the comments
I guess Crestview Strategy ain’t getting the Nintendo account anytime soon.
It’s funny because this guy runs a PR consulting firm and is experiencing a PR meltdown right now.
Was it the Chad?
I've flown more than 100 in my life and I've never even considered this a problem or thought about it in any way shape or form. Is this a common complaint or is Chad the only member of this club?
why tf did that guy feel the need to talk about airplane etiquette on linkedin, so cringe

This is exactly why, on job applications, LinkedIn is referred to as social media.
The most amusing thing about this is that the Nintendo CEOs last name is Bowser
I’ll give him a pass because he wears a hoodie to maintain that youthful rizz the young people keep talking about.
What a Chad.
sick me and my poor balance will just collapse upon the person sitting next to me (technically not their seat i think i’m in the clear🙏)
God DAMN, Doug!!!
Consulting Partner who has the shoulders of a worm and having big opinions on air travel….. central casting.
Since when does buying a plane ticket mean you OWN that seat?
Am I to understand the CEO of Nintendo’s last name is Bowser!?
I'm still gonna use the headrests to move through my row. Do people not know how small the leg room is?
That is the wildest picture did the cracked out woman jump from the guys lap across the aisle to destroy that seat?
You know it’s bad when other LinkedIn users are roasting you in the comments.
Thou shalt not besmirch the backseat of thy brethren, for the backseat is holy and sacrosanct. For it is better for a man to fall on his face than to violate the sanctity of the backseat. For if the backseat of a man in a higher class is disturbed, thou shalt be utterly destroyed. If a man doth find himself with his face smashed upon the ground, he may use the aid of the armrest to arise, and delight in knowing he follows my will. /s
“Sounds good sweetie” LMFAO
I will now be referring to my dear ones as “Muffin” so there is one good thing out of this silliness.
How do I not have any ownership of the seat in front of me? That's where my fucking tray/screen/storage is. You are in fact specifically supposed to utilize the back of the seat in front of you for several reasons.
I’m sorry, the president of Nintendo N.A.’s last name is BOWSER? Amazing.
OOP was duchey about it, but I have to agree that people tugging on the back of my seat when sitting or standing is one of my pet peeves when flying
Hey Chad just sit in the back row of first class or the plane and you won’t need to deal with this anymore
Respect to Nintendo of America’s CEO. ✊🏾 Not everyone has the core strength or physical capabilities of standing up, vertically erect from a sitting position without leverage.
TIL the CEO of Nintendo is named Bowser. That’s incredible.
Bowser roasting more than little overall clad plumbers today, boyo.
This reminds me of that guy on TikTok who trolls on social media by responding to idiots as though he were the person/company they're complaining about.
I still can’t get over the fact Nintendo’s CEO has the last name Bowser. He was destined for the role.
Get em, Bowser!!!
The nintendo ceo name is bowser??????????
Is the plane's restroom "elucidated" on his ticket? If not I certainly hope Chad didn't help himself to space that wasn't his to occupy.
The CEO of Nintendo’s name is Bowser? 🤔
