its not Nintendo's job to actively get involved in their employee's PERSONAL social media pages
its not as if Alison was being harassed as the face of Nintendo or something like that. I would argue that most big company's actually discourage their employees to be hugely active in social media (especialyl with personal opinions) as the opinions may not match up with the company.
in the end though we don't know why EXACTLY she was fired. It could have been that she was literally just poor at her job and the timing happened to be funny. or it could be that some of her comments (especially regarding child molesters) broke her contract. Bear in mind practically any large company will potentially fire someone for actively getting involved in political or sensitive conversation that could alienate a certain branch of consumers.
at any rate no one know exactly why she was fired so all of the judgement going on online about this seems a bit silly, regarding Nintendo. we don't know the full picture and likely never will well. I hardly think Nintendo should be held responsible for the trolls that bugged her online though. Thats the risk of having a social media account online on the internet and being vocal- people might disagree with you and mess with you. its life. you can't expect Nintendo to run around and constantly vocally put out press releases that say "don't comment on so and so's social media!". Nintendo's logical answer if approached probably was the obvious: an employee should not use social media accounts if they can't control themselves in terms of expressing their political ideology's and arguing with people
not blaming her but its pretty simple when we're talking about a corporation in relation to their employee's social media stuff- its almost always in the contract to not do certain things on online forums
