Once again Nintendo hits the headlines, but this time not for the "lighthearted" news you might expect, not even their obnoxious DMCA notice. Several female testers have spoken out about certain inappropriate comments, advances, and overall "frat-like" ambient that they experienced from both co-workers and superiors during their stay at NoA as testers. The allegations even seem to indicate harsh behaviours not only based on sex, but also towards employees of different sexual orientations.

The accusations have been reported and published by Kotaku just a few days ago, in quite a lengthy article going into great detail about the several stories they've gathered regarding the different accusations and claims from inside the NoA offices.

The recent claims have reached the attention of Nintendo of America's current president, Doug Bowser, to which he sent an internal message to their employees:

We have and will always investigate any allegations we become aware of, and we are actively investigating these most recent claims.

It is currently unknown if there is an active legal action against specific employees.

Oh, really? Here --

That's sarcasm directed at the dysfunctional logic exercised by some people here. That's not defending a corporation.

Read the page, "intellectual". The percentage of false accusations is 5%, and the journal article alleges that there's a percentage IN that percentage which represents true accusations that have been unfairly dismissed by the law.

Yep. Maybe.

Dawg, please.

Who were the ones harassing who in Activision-Blizzard? What gender was the one being hostile in the GamerGate situation? What do you think this quote means when used -- obviously by men?
Side note: that last one -- I've spotted it on an r/HolUp post among the comments IIRC. God knows how did mods miss this.

And what gender are you belittling right now?

Yep. Maybe.

The "maybe" is for the latter claim, not the earlier, just in case you're wondering.


"Dysfunctional logic", he says.

Oh, and funny stuff I just found. The rest of the page can be of interest, too.

I sometimes wonder why was I born with the sex represented by the most irrationally aggresive people on Earth.

 

[tabzer]

I'm not belittling gender. I'm belittling those who retain a stupid approach to statistics based on sex/gender, which you seem to share strong sentiments with. Whatever you are, you can probably consider yourself included.

That's something to talk with a therapist about. I can only offer bad advice. At least now I know that you were never talking to me or responding to what I said. You want your issue to be my issue. It isn't. Instead of assuming my LARPing gender, why don't you take the high road for once?

False accusations make up roughly 2% of all reported claims. The idea that all accusations need to be treated with such scrutiny is just wrong and the reason why most victims don’t come forward. Statistically speaking, it’s more likely that these claims have more legitimacy than falsehood. This isn’t to say that there’s not going to be any falsehood, but it is to say that we shouldn’t just assume falsehood off the bat due to an extremely small fraction of false claims.

I don't know if that figure is correct, but I'll run with it.

Saying that 2% of all reported claims are false after scrutiny, is not an argument to stop scrutiny.
The people making those 2% of claims either did not know their they would be scrutinized, or thought they could blag it.

Without scrutiny, there would be nothing to dissuade false allegations. If claims increased then you would not know whether it was because more people came forward with false allegations or true allegations.

It's the same shit. Those statistics were ALWAYS based on gender as soon as y'all went --

males, males, males.

A good example of someone who can't accept that others have a different opinion and therefore will continue to debate.

Okay. So the fact that you accuse a community of committing a crime is an opinion? Or is it "free speech, definitely and totally the same as hate speech even though I very well know I'm lying"? Perhaps it's "we're just trying to protect children except not really tee-hee"?

Y'all have a pretty fucking weird double-standard.

That's something to talk with a therapist about.

Second person that has ever brought up the "u nede terapy lol" argument on me. Good.

I do have an opinion on certain topics but I don't want to consider myself left or right.

Pulling that card won't work. Alex Jones already tried it, but we already know he's just as centrist as Ben Shapiro, a.k.a. Mic-Haircut-Mofo.

Mods started deleting and censoring as usual here anyway, so no point in participating in this shit show.

You're either very delusional or in bad faith. The only people circlejerking in this thread are the people like you. I even got tagged a few times "daring" me to reply to trolls, for literally just saying "if you have proof, I'll be the first one to ask for punishment". Imagine living in a world where thinking THAT is controversial. An user going as far as to boast about putting people in his ignore list because he can't take the facts.

"facts"

It's not "the same shit". Claiming that it is reasonable to assume a man is guilty based on the statistic that only %2-%10 of claims are "proven" false is stupid on multiple levels, which I have addressed, and it has nothing to do with the "shit" that you are trying to pass on me now. If you have a rational point, I recommend you get to it.

You'll probably keep getting that tbh. Self-loathing hurts you and those around you.

You literally ignored the link I posted. It doesn't say anything about false accusations, it's about the percentage of male rape perpetrators.

A link on the now edited post shows an article that mentions

more women (44 percent) than men (19 percent) describing experiences of any of seven types of sexually harassing behavior in the past 2 years at work

but you're probably not going to approve of any source that takes women's rights seriously, just because it doesn't benefit men. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid.

You'll probably keep getting that tbh. Self-loathing hurts you and those around you.

while at the same time loathing himself anyways.

I know it doesn't say anything about false accusations. That's kind of my point. The quote you you grabbed from me was. I don't look at the world as women vs men. Apparently you do.

I definitely do not loathe myself. That's why you are even hassling me.

Reminds me of the MK11 thing.

I don't have the game nor will I ever, but I heard the news of the female costumes in this game.
They claimed they were being "respectful" but soon afterwards were investigated for comments they made towards female workers. Hypocrisy at its finest like most of these types who virtue signal.

Ed Boon and his crew never would shy away from offending people back then. But now since MK is owned by WB and they work for them, they have become cowardly. The only MK games I own from them are 2 and 9.
And 9 for the most part was great.

Funny, I have preteen memories of playing MK9 with my dad, and using Rayden as main. It's sad that the thing was not pirated, I would've felt less pissed off.

Guess I'll have more companies added to the Pirate Their Software If I'm Not Broke (from now on will call it PTSIINB) list.
Oh -- and I'll count Midway Games into the list alongside Warner Bros., since I won't pity a company just because they're defunct; that's like saying Minecraft 1.19 was exclusively Microsoft's fault, and not Mojang's too.

we can assume that the male is probably guilty. Because, males, males, males.

I'm not sure if "loathing" is the same thing as "woe, woe is me", but whatever,

Did you forget, Ricky? You were against this case from the beginning. Literally the first post in the ENTIRE thread.

This is yet another "frat-like ambient!!1" accusation full of nothing.

Huh? "Yet another"? Activision-Blizzard was proved to be true by the law. Reminder that Amber Heards is a rare case of a minority being an actual asshole. Just because it's one or two, it doesn't mean everyone's like this and you have to insult all women because they fucking blinked.

I'm against accusations without proof. Proof wasn't provided at first. Is it hard to understand for a braindead dumb fuck like you?

Honestly, I don't know what to expect if two people had the proof over them by one or two posts, and then they absolutely ignored it and went "Proof?". That was after the Gigaleak screenshot.

I'm not complaining, I'm having fun.

Some people think it is reasonable to assume someone is guilty, not only based on statistics, but a false misrepresentation of them. (ie. 5% of claims are false, so therefore 95% of men rape women). I think that is extra stupid and worthy of being mocked. So far, this thread has not hurt or offended me. I already know how people can be stupid and I like to play. How do you explain your being here?

Authorities investigated Activision-Blizzard, allegations were proven to be true. Instead of being actually neutral, you're just dismissing this as if it wasn't worth looking into -- again, because?

Because, males, males, males.

Oh, well EXCUUUUUUSE me, prince. Did we insult your dear, prideful masculinity?

Oh, no, your first post just lets us know what's your actual opinion

This is why we wear masks. For a clean and sterile ambient -- we also make sure that the creativity department doesn't make any jokes.

defending obnoxious, unfunny jokes. Even jschlatt has higher standards than this. Oh, but we MUST laugh at the zoophile-like Vaporeon copypasta, yes? Because if you don't think what I laugh at is funny, then here, listen up: you're a poopy-head. Need I spell it out?! YOU'RE A POOPY HEA-

But nevermind that, after reporting thousands and thousands of women being harassed at work, we MUST dismiss any other case as soon as one or four rare-case actual sociopaths appear, because USA laws protect hate speech by lacking details of how to notice the difference between that and actual free speech so we must use their existence as an excuse to exploit that! Wait, no, I should shut up, nobody can figure that out... I mean- uh, yeah, wh-what are you gonna do, cry? Gonna piss your pants? Maybe? Maybe shit and cum?... Well then you fucking normie, maybe you should click on my username and on my profile you should see three dots to the right of my username. Click those three dots to open a dropdown menu reads "Block". Click that option and confirm that you want to block me to avoid seeing my future po-

It's not worth me looking into. It's probably not worth you looking into. Again. I am talking about the application of a statistic to assume guilt. Not investigations.
