Oh come the fuuuuuuuck on, lol. Tyranny, really? This is video games. TOYS. Not a religion.

What the hell is being denied from these people anyway that makes them so angry? A boob slider in a game? A lingerie mode? Oh the injustice and persecution of it all.  Like there isn't bigger issues in the world. 

This is a bunch of jerk offs who got mad at someone for basically a decision that person had nothing to do with and then decided to cyberstalk that person and hound their personal life until they got them fired from a job. Which is kind of an asshole thing to do. 

I don't even care if she was a raving feminazi who didn't like whatever precious video game these nuts were on about, you don't cross the line of going after someone personally because of freaking online argument. 

3.) It undercuts their preconceived narrative of why she was fired by Nintendo

THANK YOU.

Now that the truth is out they are trying to so desperately to hide the subject now since it no longer fits their views and how they can no longer blame Nintendo.

All the other threads about it were locked and any new threads talking about this revelation that were made were locked instantly. 

All they're doing is just proving true to the tons of people that think Neogaf is a joke of a website and how so many people shit on it already that they will not allow people to have any sort of opinion on a certain subject if it does not fit what they want people to think. In this case they can no longer blame Nintendo or make Alison Rapp seem innocent like they want, so they are just trying to hide the subject and hope nobody notices the truth.

NeoGaf is a pretty damn pro-Nintendo site with lots of Nintendo fans. 

I think it's more about not shaming a woman who's been outing by a bunch of idiots hellbent on destroying the woman's life for no good reason. 

Video games and toys are fun and good and all that, but this is now veering into the relam of "real life shit" where there are consequences. 

Yeah, here's the thing - I didn't follow the full story about her and GG (if its GG in the first place, and not some "trolls for fun"). The first time I've read anything about it was on EG, I concluded that she was socially stupid (you simply do not poke snake lair if you see one) and that Nintendo probably had every reason to fire her.

What ticked me however is how game "journalists" covered that story, making her insta-martyr, even going as far as deleting all posts that did not agree with their party line. And that is what's happening now on GAF again. So yeah, while it is indeed just gaming, and it is not religion, it's SJWs who brought ideology into gaming, and it's quite obvious that they have "either you're with us, or you're enemy" kind of view.

And the funny thing is, gaming "press" is dodging the bullet again, while click-baiting for ad revenue.

Maybe some gamers need to like CHILL the fuck out?

Any criticism of gaming is not free reign to start hurling death threats like what happened to Jimmy Kimmel for making a goddamn joke (as an example). 

Secondly, just because you disagree with someone's POV doesn't give you free reign to then go hound their personal life and try to get them fired. 

Third, this woman from what I can tell wasn't even against whatever the fuck these idiots were upset about in the first place. She actually agreed with them. 

This is gaming, it's not some ISIS like idelogy where anyone against it needs to be destroyed. 

It's not about shaming though. It's about them purposely trying to hide the truth from everyone and trying to hide all evidence along with it. 

Plus the whole thing about shaming is that they were perfectly fine with letting everyone shit on Nintendo and blame them when they didn't even know the full story. Especially when it's revealed that it is actually Alison Rapp's own fault that she was fired and not even Nintendo's or GG's.

This whole thing screams that they were trying to portray Alison Rapp as such an innocent person who was fired wrongly, but now that they realize otherwise they don't want people to see it since it can no longer fit that view.

Even if she will get shit on for this, like people already are, does that mean people shouldn't get to know the truth? It's biased and really dumb of Neogaf, hence why I said I can see why so many people shit on it and see it as a joke of a website and how nobody can even have their own opinion on something there without being banned. 

@bolded How about you go by your own advice first?

As I said, trolls will be trolls, you cannot dodge the trolls so easily, so smart person would handle them better - my bet is that's one of major requirements for PR job in this day and age - while what trolls have done to her is terrible, her handling of situation was poor at best. I had, neither then nor now, any doubt in Nintendo's desicion to fire her, for lack of her competence as PR alone, let alone all other stuff.

As for your ISIS comparison - as I said, true again, gaming is not ideology, never has been, until SJWs started injecting their "justice" into it - if anything, its them that are very comparable to that sort of single-minded dogmas.

Some gamers need to stop being so thin skinned is my point. You cannot react like a fucking moron or threaten to kill someone every time an issue like this comes up. I don't give a crap if it's SJW and wah wah it's not fair. This is not an acceptable type of behavior, cyberstalking people and trying to dig up dirt on them because one has had a Twitter arguement is just shameful bullshit. It's the whole "it's OK to shoot up a newpaper office because they dared to draw my religious deity" train of logic.
