The reason you can't shake off that feeling is because it is weird to tell people this. I think we should use tags like disney_(company) and nintendo_(company) for posts explicitly referencing said companies, which would then allow users to actually find what they're looking for when they search disney or nintendo.
Because of this disconnect between what our users want and expect, and what we decided should be the case instead, Nintendo is and has always been one of the most mistagged tags on the site. It is constantly being gardened because of this, and at some point it makes you wonder - are we so out of touch? Because personally, I don't think it's the users who are wrong.
I'll insist that they are, moreso because alongside (as it currently stands) misusing those tags, it's frequently the case that the users who tag them incorrectly will also use that as the only copyright tag for a post. At the very least, that's been my experience gardening Disney. Attempting to check the Post History for Nintendo posts causes a timeout, so I cannot fully confirm whether that applies there too.
