Forums - Nintendo - It seems that former NoA employee Alison Rapp *may* be a prostitute

Giganticactuaric news. This is Zoe Quinn 4.7 or perhaps even 8.9. She might be an alien! Perhaps Iwata's bastard daughter? The reincarnation of Hitler!?

C'mon guys, let us all overreact, blow this way out of proportion and turn this into something completely idiotic!

What does it matter? That's in the past. Even if we are talking about a family friendly company, they should only care about her current behavior and how good she is at her job. Besides, who are we to judge? Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.

I doubt anyone here is a virgin (WILLINGLY).

Well, personally, I think it goes way too far.
If she is a call-girl, then that's her decision. Nothing wrong with that. That she didn't told Nintendo about her 2nd job, well, the blame goes to Rapp.
And that's it. Why dig even deeper? Just let her be ffs.

Nothing wrong with it in my book but no surprise Nintendo would object.



If this is true, then Nintendo reasoning for the firing was valid.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Hopefully, those SJW "journalists" in Polygon, Kotaku and EG will think twice next time they write their "objective" articles on issues like Nintendo firing her.

Who am I kidding, they will never learn - this calls for GG 2.0. ;)



How much ?

Wouldn't surprise me if a good chunk of GG are virgins, lol. 

I don't really like either one of these groups (GG or Sarkesian, they're both blow hards IMO). 



And then they go on and say "b-but, duh patriarcheh!"

The biggest problem largely stems from the fact that I've noticed this particular, er, 'faction set' has basically acted as a lightning rod in terms of attracting the least considerate, potentially sociopathic elements of the Internet. While I'm sure at least some on both sides of the issue went in with legitimate concerns, (I've seen cordial, albeit brief discussions on matters such as ethics in journalism back in the early days,) plenty of others just see it as justification to doxx, harass, and basically represent the worst possible elements of human nature and social behavior, because it's easiest to find people just as abusive as they are who they can laugh about it with. This is aided in part due to an insistence that neither movement is 'responsible' for the actions of those within it- basically, GG supporters will take credit if the movement is connected to something positive, but anything negative its followers do is 'somebody else did it,'- and so neither condemns their own radical elements with anywhere near the zeal they'll condemn 'The Other Side.'

Heck, it's already happening. Plenty of people will tout how their zeal and dedication got Alison the prostitute fired, but once it's brought up that she and her relatives are being doxxed and harassed, suddenly it's not worth talking about/she super duper deserves it/Gamer Gate would neeeeever do something like that, etc.

Basically, it's all a big Crusade. =P Supposed pursuit of higher ideals, and a convenient hand-wave to dismiss the atrocious acts comitted in that pursuit.
