Alison Rapp fired by Nintendo

[Kudos]

Well when you work for Nintendo and work as a cam girl on the side, you know that you're not the smartest person around.

Pretty much this. But let's ignore the fact that Nintendo openly stated they dismissed her because of her 'moonlighting' second job they disagreed with. It's clearly a witch hunt by basement dwelling men which brought her down and not the consequence of her own actions. /smh

What's also quite sad is that she sought out harassment comments against herself and out of thousands she found only a tad few, some of which she had to alter to make them sound worse than they actually were. Head meet desk.

Well, what else would you expect her to do? NOT paint herself as a victim of some boogeyman and, instead, look at the choices she made and accept that this is on her?

Not in this political climate.

*Looks at Avatar*... Hmmmm....

Go ahead. Call me a pedophile and a neo nazi while you are at it. You people are good at that.

Relax I thuoght you were being ironic that's all

I wouldn't judge her either way based off tweets; they are hardly the medium to convey your point. Anyway, basically any position that isn't "Pedophiles should be burned in a big wickerman" is labeled pedophilia apologism by some people; I shouldn't worry.

I dunno dragging out her opinions of pedophilia for years and then giving the same people the ammo to get you fired on the same twitter account isn't helping your cause. The world is mean and fucked up. Just look around you. We live in a world that if you have a different opinion than others they will hurt you however they can over it. Even though it's just words.

Consoles are so far behind now on the hardware side that you could build a Pc now that can outperform a Ps4 or a Xbox by alot for less money, and consoles don't even come close to Pc when it comes to the number of exclusive games.

Nintendo is the only console I would need to own as a Pc gamer since 99% of their games I can't get on Pc, while I can get almost all of the games that are on Ps4 or Xbox.

When you can build a PC that beats a console at console price ($350 Ps4/XB1) let me know.

I am sure your build will forget things like OS,KB&M and monitor (unless u use ur tv). Even if it did you would be skimping on parts and good chance buying used. So if you go the buy used route then its $250-$300 for a console and compare that to a PC of the same price.

Thats all I am going to say don't want to turn this into a PC vs Console thread. But bottom line is you can't and if you could it wouldn't be as pnp as consoles.

That goddamn Schrodinger's Cat--err Schrodinger's GamerGate strikes again!

A movement that doesn't exist due to how small its members are but somehow can cause all of this madness.

I love how whenever these SJW idiots get their comeuppance, it's ALWAYS GamerGate's fault. Even when the COMPANY ITSELF comes out and says it had nothing to do with it. DEFINITELY has nothing to do with her moonlighting as a camgirl and posting soft core porn on her personal social media places. Or defending pedophiles or arguing against the age of consent for children or being a straightup asshole as a PR person for a child-friendly company to people who ideologically differ from her. Nope, GamerGate.

Keep on beating that boogeyman.

My guess is that around 99,99% of people who calls her a phedophile have not read her thesis and are basically judging her based on tweets. Goob job!

[nextormento]

I'm confused that a lot of guys, that are so anti-feminism and de-sexualization of women in media, that call her SJW and censorship bitch, also manage to call her a pervert, pedophile and use her defense of japan's controversial of depictions of young ladies against her in the same sentence. I don't know her work, and maybe she does indeed deserve to be fired.
But I can't stand is the one-sided, hate fueled, hypocritical GG crew agenda

The line she supposedly* crossed is that of actual bone and flesh children pornography.
Not the lolicon/shotacon stuff that they'd otherwise probably defend.
That is not hypocrisy: it's drawing a very clear line differentiating reality from fiction.

This is a clear case of people being hysterical about #GG, a group so irrelevant it's been declared dead several times already. And so dangerous that they're probably recruiting for ISIS.
Scapegoating #GG is a laughably ridiculous activity at this point.

Not like it matters, though: she was let go because she had another job -as a camgirl-.


* I say supposedly because I still think she was vague enough. But "child sexual agency" is typical paedophile rhetoric.

I have read it, and majority of her tweets. She might not outright be a pedophile but she's dangerously toeing the line. She wanted to include an option from one of the recent Xenoblade games that let you tweak the titties of a 13 year old girl.

[zenkai]

So much this. This forum reeks of socially awkward basement dwellers who have developed an inherent fear of women through minimal contact with the fairer sex sometimes. 'FEAR! FEAR THE CONFIDENT, ASSURED WOMEN! For they make our penises recoil into our bodies with terror and a deep sense of ineptitude.'

I am pretty sure it was her stance on pedophiles not Japanese imported games....

I read it. I don't think she's a pedophile, but I reserve the right to think she's an idiot.

[Sinyc]

I always thought that account was just a troll account to make Nintendo look bad. Didn't actually know that person worked for Nintendo.

I don't have room for a gaming PC currently, so I'm making do with a PS4. As much as I miss having the gaming PC and access to my enormous Steam library, the PS4 is perfectly sufficient, especially since I don't get too much time to play. It's certainly a lot less hassle to sit down and play than it was with the PC.

How is downloading games off of steam more complicated than downloading games to your PS4? LOL Just think when the PS5 comes out you can throw away all your games and buy them all again in the new format!

She might not be a pedophile but she defends them

[breadisfunny]

she should rot in prison at the very least. pedophiles have no place in this world.

I didn't mention anything about downloading games. I'm simply saying with a PS4, it's a case of of pushing an on button, sitting down on the couch and you're good to go.
With a PC, it's pushing the on button, logging into windows then sitting at a suitable desk with your keyboard and mouse infront of you. Not the most inconvenient of things, I agree, but not as convenient as a console is.

[The One Percent]

She's trash and should be on a few watchlists as well as a multitude of blacklists.

[Belize]

I'm conflicted.

On one hand I don't think you should be fired for things said on your own time. So, and so does not represent the values of the company etc, etc...

On the other hand, bitch be crazy, and the extreme left has gotten, or tried to get so many people fired, it's hard to feel for her.

The option was already there in the Japanese version. She merely said she wasn't against keeping the option in the western version. More so she didn't fight to keep it in she just used it as an example to show that she isn't some "femnazi" or whatever.
