No they don't. All you have to do is show people the fact that she was moonlighting as a lewd model and used her twitter account (which said plain as day that she worked for family friendly NIntendo) to advertise it. She even posed with a 3DS is some of them -- I mean, my god, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer if that's any indication of her intelligence. In fact, I think NOA knows that if they bend to SJWs, feminists and the games media even once, then those groups own their asses -- you can see examples popping up everyday from Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft and so on. You kowtow to them once and you'll be doing it forever because they cannot and won't be appeased or satisfied.
In reality, the Allison Rapp defense is just a show of force by these groups. They don't give a crap about Rapp; they just want to make an example out of Nintendo so that all the other companies don't oppose social justice and feminism -- the problem is that this is a horrible way to attack Nintendo considering all the facts are on Nintendo's side. And even if NOA does kneel before them, NCL doesn't give a crap what westerners want. It's one of the few blessings of being a fan of a Japanese company led by stubborn people who don't give a damn about what the west wants.
Also, the hypocrisy of the people bitching about Nintendo firing Rapp for NSFW modeling is laughable considering a lot of those same people also whined and bitched about dancers at Microsoft's GDC party and Tracer's butt pose in Overwatch eariler this month. I guess lewd stuff is only okay to them if you subscribe to the 'right' politics -- then it turns into 'empowering' or some other crap.

You're absolutely right about feminists and social justice warriors wanting to make an example out of Nintendo. You are also right about the importance of standing up against their attacks: if you give them an inch they will take the full country mile. Hopefully, NCL is as stubborn as you say.
BTW, upon reading some more of the posts on this thread I see now that my previous post was very ill-informed. I had listened to a certain podcast this evening that made Alison out to be fairly innocent in this whole affair but I realize now that they under-emphasized some pretty important details. I apologize.

This story actually continues to get more interesting. I'll preface this with saying I could care less what she chooses to do (though I may feel bad for her husband), I don't think it's unreasonable for Nintendo to not want an employee who did this as a 2nd job:
