Was making my own topic on this. My OP:


One of the most charming and passionate Nintendo employees, Alison Rapp, was terminated today.

https://twitter.com/alisonrapp/statu...87409424871424

She was part of a GG smear campaign painting her as a pedophile apologist and under constant barrage by them.

Guess they can put a notch in their belt. Someone is ruining gaming and it definitely wasn't Ali.

Based on some of her other tweets, it sounds like Gamergaters contacted Nintendo as part of their "pedophile" smear campaign and that led to the firing.

Fuck Gamergate. How can anyone think this is a movement with any merit is beyond me. It's absolutely transparent what their intentions are.

Worse yet is Nintendo falling for their bullshit. I am genuinely disappointed in NoA. Unbelievable.

I just... I need a minute. From all I have heard they seemed to be a safe and inclusive employer. But this succumbing to a hate group is completely reprehensible. Nintendo should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

Expected, she was cool but her statements on the whole pedo issue were not inline with a company like Nintendo.
Was it over when the Russians bombed Gaza? Hell no!

There was a cofounder of a foundation accusing her of being pro-pedophiles and telling Nintendo to terminate her position. Probably what resulted in her termination. I'll try and find it
edit:
@JamieWalton of the Wayne's Foundation is calling Nintendo out on employing Alison.
Seems like GG got to her. Not sure if a thread was made.
I believe there was a thread about it.

This is absolutely horrible, the entire thing with her thesis promoting pedophilia was absolutely ridiculous (I did a quick write up about it in that thread).

How in the HELL did Nintendo listen to gamergaters on this? Prepare yourselves gentlemen and ladies... This is just going to embolden these a-holes to dig deeper on everyone they display to try and get them fired.

Yeah, that's when things got really bad.

And seriously, good luck explaining to the Board of Directors why nothing was done about this, when they hear what they hear and bring it in. Depending on your BoD that shit ain't easy to communicate.

Disappointed as fuck at Nintendo for not standing their ground for an employee who was clearly the victim.

Angry as fuck at the mob that managed to push the issue this far.

This makes NoA look terrible! Unless something comes out unrelated regarding her job performance, but even then it's just downright unseemly.
