Props to them for doing this despite the JP government not recognizing same-sex marriage/partnership.

That's likely something they're working on too.

Granted, I forget if that was from the American branch or Japanese branch.

Why am I hearing about this in the news now when according to the text in the OP it's been in place for a year?

Either way, *headpats Nintendo*

It's behind on gay rights more than that
I'd your boss finds out you are gay Im Japan it's a completely valid reason to fire you over there

Young Japanese people are mostly ok with gay people but Japan is run by the elderly to the point where the country still uses fax machines over email

Japan court said ban on same-sex marriage is constitutional very recently.

Kinda like companies doing the same in the US with Roe V Wade getting overturned.

they'd have to pay people to convert everything to electronic systems all at once. they just slowly phase things out one at a time instead

There's Aston Carter contractors at my work, and a lot of this sounds like stuff AC requires. They're kind of a shitty staffing agency (formerly known as Aerotek) and I wish companies wouldn't use them.

I still like that the cyber security minister in Japan never used a computer. I'm not sure if he's still in that position since that was a few years ago, but that headline had me cracking up.

Anyway, good on Nintendo. I'm glad they're doing this for their employees.
