Nintendo Derangement Syndrome (NDS) is a term to describe a condition where individuals lose all sense of objectivity and rationality when discussing Nintendo specifically those who obsessively hate the company. This often leads to exaggeration, misinformation, double standards, and bizarre emotional reactions whenever Nintendo is even mentioned. It's much more prevalent ever since the Switch 2 Launch.
You're allowed to dislike & criticize Nintendo. NDS kicks in when that dislike tums into obsession. misinformation, or irrational rage especially when you start acting like people enjoying a game is a personal attack on you.
Symptoms of Nintendo Derangement Syndrome:
• Compulsive Lying about Nintendo sales, hardware specs, or game quality
• Goalpost Shifting when proven wrong
• Downplaying Critical or Commercial Success
• Calling Fans Cultists while foaming at the mouth about a 40-second Nintendo Direct trailer
• Using Piracy or Emulation as a Moral Crusade

Nintendo Uncle Syndrome is another version of a know-it-all. In this case, generally regarding Nintendo news and otherwise and the attempt at seeming legit by using an 'uncle' to stand in as proof. The uncle who 'works at Nintendo.'
Oftentimes it is just someone who always wants to be right, needs you to 'just trust them man' or otherwise just enjoys lies for the sake of it.
