Are you sure she's not a 7,000 year old dragon?

Why would anyone sexualize about that either?

I don't know, I only play real games.

 

[SeraphJan]

Are these behavior immature? Yes. But should their freedom of expression be protected? I would also say yes.

The boundary of what could be defined as harassment had been pushed every year. Freedom of expression will soon die completely if people keep supporting this type of nonsense.

And Gafer wonder why video games are constantly invaded by political correctness and woke culture, the reason is simple, the society is slowly becoming a gigantic echo chamber, it affects everything including entertainment.

Video game is also a form of expression, if they could push the restriction of expression else where, you bet they could push it in video game.

This is not the time to play the White Knight.

There's more to it than that.

It happened not long before Nintendo was to reveal the Switch, and it coming out that one of their Treehouse employees was moonlighting as a hooker (while her husband worked in the NOA coffee shop), it'd be a PR nightmare. So Nintendo fired her.

Of course this was during GAMERGATE so she immediately took to social media and cried that she was fired because evil GAMERGATERS were harassing her. Normally Nintendo wouldn't comment on a termination, but the heat was so bad they came out and made a statement that she was let go for holding a side job that conflicted with Nintendo's company moral standards. Of course, that's when detective mode started and nude pics of her on an escort site operating under the name "Maria Mint" (a Nintendo themed hooker) were found and suddenly people wanted to sweep it under the rug.

And to add, she had tats that made it stupid easy to link her "adult" social back to her. What a dunce.

Who’s dream job is being a tester? Jfc

Eh. Some of us like to break shit. Black box testing is a blast.

And then there are some of us who even more enjoy the process of building automated testing that is complete and robust.

I look back fondly on my days spent testing.

 

[Neff]

Better OP title would be: "QA tester working for temp agency contracted with Nintendo cries to Kotaku"

'QA tester working for temp agency contracted with Nintendo cries to Kotaku because a weirdo joined said agency' would be even more accurate.

Introverted gaming nerds (on average) and children, are the perfect soft targets for this sort of culture war.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

She worked for a staffing agency as a tester on assignment at Nintendo for 9 years!?!?

I can only imagine a worse fate for a human being to suffer.

 

[Edgelord79]

What kind of people you think work there? If Nintendo fired everyone who fantasized about cartoons there would be no one left.

Might want to sit this one out champ.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

This has nothing to do with fanaticism, but rather to do with someone who actually reads.

Probably close to 50% of people who watch anime regularly see nothing wrong with that. Hell, a good amount of people on this very forum have profile pictures of female anime girls who look underage and are half-naked.

 

[Fbh]

Is there more in the article or is the "sexual harassment" some immature jokes in a coworker chat group?

Also if that counts as sexual harassment were we sexually harassed by Kotaku when they posted their article about realistic (ish) 3D porn of underage Harry Potter characters?

 

[JimboJones]

I'd report them to HR too. Everyone knows that Snorlax is the best in bed.

Screenshotted and reported.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I know a few Pokemon plushies that have been sexually harassed.

 

[Northeastmonk]

It must be a slow summer for the games industry if we’re reading articles about what someone did in a Teams chats at a large corporation like Nintendo.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

In fact, it was common for full-time Nintendo employees to date precariously employed contractors. “A lot of the NOA red badges had reputations for using the tester pool of associates as a dating pool,” Allison told Kotaku. If you were approached by a red badge, and they appeared to be making moves on you, [other women said that] you didn’t want to dissuade them too hard.” The upsides of being romantically involved with NOA employees were opportunities and access. The most iconic one was the company Christmas party, which is off-limits to contractors unless they’re accompanied by a “red badge.” To associates who tried to improve their standing, it was worth dealing with the power imbalance if it meant being a part of the prestigious Nintendo brand.

wtf did i just...read?

read the article like i did and you can fidn out?

 

[NickFire]

Some of these rags seem dedicated to replacing all the productive employees (at all of these companies) with HR employees holding 1-4 degrees in 1-4 useless fields.

Seriously, look at their article themes. They seem to all boil down to either quasi-ads, reports of random internet forum dwellers uncovering actual news, or articles that could be summed up as X company needs more HR people.

Temps at Nintendo are willing to whore themselves out to full time employees to get into the Christmas party.

And Give Kotaku a click?

 

[killatopak]

Now I see why Reggie's body is always ready.

I clicked on it on your behalf and there is nothing you can do against it

Seizing the means of production, comrade.

 

[Kuranghi]

I really get a kick out of the fact that you made an updated/better version of your original joke but you didn't edit the first post, you just posted again lol.

 

[CaptainSlayAHo]

Maybe this dumb bitch and her group should have, I dunno, talked to him about it? If that doesn't work, shame him, if that doesn't, kick him out. In what world does this blue haired twat need an entire fucking article about it as if the guy did a Pacino impression yelling "she's got a great ass!!!" every time she walked by and bosses ignored it

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Better OP title would be: "QA tester working for temp agency contracted with Nintendo cries to Kotaku"

Yeah, did the translator even work at Nintendo?

 

[clarky]

Got to say the difference in the thread here and over there is comically huge.

Skimmed the article and seems like a load of nothing as usual? dude makes some joke about wanting to shag a pokemon, chick is pissed and has been on $16 an hour for 9 years? Or am i missing something?

 

[brian0057]

If I had a nickel for every time Kotaku publishes an article like this, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo of America was as shit as the rest of the western gaming industry.

Kotaku is dying, they need this.

Well she also holds (held?) quite controversial cp and pedo views so Nintendo was slowly feeling the heat.

In other words, she wants a pass for being a loser.

 

[Golgo 13]

What this really boils down to -

One socially awkward co-worker who said some stupid shit, and then a bunch of victim cards being played that really translate to a bunch of things she hated about that job.

News flash - we all have stuff about work we hate. Many of us feel underpaid. Almost ALL OF US have co-workers we absolutely can’t stand. This is a big nothing-burger.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

She's a woman in the gaming industry, give her money and status now.

It’s right up Kotaku’s alley.

 

[00_Zer0]

Kotaku is like National Enquirer of games journalism and I will never trust a thing they say without believing they are attention whores with a very specific kind of agenda, but let me make my agenda clear:

 

[Big Baller]

Alison Rapp was a Treehouse host that turned out to be moonlighting as hooker in Seattle.

 

[Kamina]

I remember how old GAF had a meltdown after E3 2016 just because some people had the hots for Audrey here.

Counterpoint: You're at your job and shouldn't have to put up with somebody harassing you in order to earn you paycheck. You freely admit people who pull this shit are immature; "express yourself" on your own goddamn time.

Also what do you mean by woke? Explain yourself in detail; I'd love to hear what you're rallying against.

Introverted gaming nerds (on average) and children, are the perfect soft targets for this sort of culture war.

Steve Bannon admitted as much. Weirdo gaming nerds are weaponized remedials.

Not very progressive of you to make fun of my hideous disfigurements stemming from the great fires of 96 holding me back from banging broads

Feel free to define what a woman is btw

 

[cash_longfellow]

Fucking Kotaku…I swear I have not seen a non-sexual harassment article from them of any substance since 2015. Not to downplay the claims against said individuals/Nintendo, but for Godssake can we please publish something else to reestablish any kind of relevance?

 

[clarky]

Just looking through google images trying to find a Pokémon id like to fuck brb.
