World doesn't work that way, defending her would be interpreted by the mainstream media as defending her stance, she herself didn't help matters as she openly engaged and taunted people herself. If you champion controversial views like pedophilia prepare to fight your own battles in regards to them.

Exactly. People nowadays keep on forgetting that there are consequences for your actions.  If you want to push a controversial opinion, you better damn well make sure that you either have ironclad job security or are well-off enough that you don't have to work.  From what I've seen, the people defending Rapp seem to be following some kind of odd narrative about harrassment when from what I've seen, she was giving as good as she was receiving.  And honestly, I have a feeling if this person were named Andrew Rapp, a lot of the people complaining about this probably wouldn't give a damn.

while usually i would say that no should take anything said on twitter seriously but when you work as PR for a company like Nintendo while saying pro-pedo stuff at that point your basically giving your 2 week notice.
