Alison Rapp, pro-pedophila activist, fired from Nintendo of America

Anyone that has found those pics do you mind PMing or at the very least dropping a hint where you found them? googling shows nothing, I'm genuinely curious to know how "lewd" the pictures are.

They aren't really nude that they show the sensitive body parts. I'll PM you if you havem't got them yet.

Reminds me of the A I got in 12th grade AP Literature, I basically bullshit my way through an essay about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I think the writing prompt had something to do with comparing the monster to Lucifer. At least that's what I went with, pretty much guessing on the Lucifer depiction from Paradise Lost, something I never read, something the teacher never assigned us. She did assign Frankenstein, so there was that. My only knowledge of that piece was/is through the album by Symphony X of the same name. And at the time I didn't even remember the lyrics. But I got a freaking A! My only guess is I just wrote well that time. Or maybe the teacher was high/drunk in grading. The point is maybe she got lucky in the accolades or whatever her paper got. Or whoever judged it, were high/drunk. I'm only speculating.

Sounds like me going through college....

can we chill a little?? obviously every media is gonna be on Nintendo side once they see the words child pornography, but let's see the case from a distance to see the whole thing.
Here I found an article about this which takes in account every detail and look at the case more carefully.

EDIT:
Also for those saying that loli/shotacon is illegal, they are wrong. In most countries is a grey area as isn't legislated at all.
My posture about that is that isn't a matter to worry, fictional characters ar just that, fictional, you can't do damage to something that isn't real. And yes I enjoy lolicon at diary.

This article is rather misinformed. Rapp's college essay was the start of her pedophilia advocation, but it was not the end of it. She has continued to advocate it on the same Twitter account she uses as her professional account. This wasn't a one timeistake, it was a reoccurring issue. It wasnt even the only thing she did wrong, and from what I've heard Nintendo had some issues with her Twitter activities in the past. Rapp wasn't fired because people disliked her. She was fired because she cpntinuously made poor decisions that could affect the companies image. It also mentions that firing Rapp was equivalent to Nintendo caving. However, it should really be pointed out that Nintendo caving is what started this whole fire emblem issue in the first place. Nintendo caving to the social justice crowd is what started the fire emblem controversy in the first place. This may not be the case for all of it, but the fates localization includes some blatant cases of feminist propoganda. She may have been a scapegoat for some of these issues, but it was her own poor decisions that got her fired in the end.

It really has become an issue. I think if people looked at it from a neutral perspective, without having someone else try and

THIS. She posted those pictures and links on her Twitter, which basically advocated pedophilia, far beyond just her essay. Of course, she got blamed by the GamerGate crowd for the butchering of Fire Emblem, but her firing had nothing to do with that.

I dont agree with her viewpoints on child protection laws but its a shame she lost what was possibly the best job she may ever come across. Remember how not even a year ago someone at Nintendo lost their job because of social media also? I forgot his name but he was talking about the localization process and talked about company policy that he shouldn't have said publicly.

I don't understand. So she's propedophilia and a feminazi? How does that even work?

She was a bad person all around, it seems.

Is that picture SFW? I'm in a very public place and want to make sure I don't make a mistake

truth be told, i also feel like arresting people and jailing them for years, who just randomly got indecent pictures of children from the internet is not really doing anything to combat the actual problem of child abuse. (nor that jailing them is really helping anyone. these people need therapy)
its giving us all a false sense of security to know that stranger who jacked of to material thats been circulating for two to three decades now is gone, when studies suggest that pretty much every abused child has been abused by a family member and you literally have a home with a person that did something indecent to a child within a stone-throws distance...

but most of her claims seem to be bogus to me

Yeah, the arbitrary "a day past 18 and you can do whatever to whoever, but a day before 18 and whoever does anything to you is a sick perv who deserves prison and their genitals mutilated" is a bit odd. That's the mindset of the government and many citizens in the states. It's also a very difficult conversation to have, when people feel that it deals with protecting children from perverts.

That being said, this particular person seems to have been taught in the faux feminist style of argument, "what I say is right, so if you disagree you're just an uninformed piece of filth trying to oppress me". This does not pair well with the sensitive and hot-button issue of dealing with younger folks having sex with each other (and other related things). She's probably used to being given the assumption of correctness, so she's not used to presenting an unwelcome argument in a tactful, logical, or precisely worded way. Some of the topics she touches on, there is an interesting conversation to have. Then other things she talkes about are...not. I really don't understand drawn loliporn, for example. It's 100% not my scene. But it's an interesting conversation to have about the logic of the situation and what constitutes harm or if it creates a detrimental culture of acceptance. She doesn't seem equipped to have that conversation, though.

Thats always seem odd to me too, like people are gonna keep a straight face and tell me a 17 year old isnt sexually attractive. Just because you have a sexual desire for someone does not mean you would act upon those feelings, thats what separates regular people from the mentally ill ones.

What a sick bitch...and anyone and everyone supporting her acts, even in a joking way should be banned from gbatemp. They should be reported to the police as well.

I wouldn't go that far, as (sometimes unfortunately) freedom of speech on the internet applies in this case, as long as they aren't actually doing anything illegal. That doesn't mean that people supporting her cause can't be seen as trash bags, though

What's funny is that some studio decuded to out their Wii U games on hold for a while in support of Alison Rapp. I think they have yet to realize that they are supporting a pre-pedopilia activist getting fired from a family friendly company.

I know you guys said because of Nintendo Family Friendly that this simply wouldn't fly, but would this be OK with the other Big 2?

I think not. Assuming that Alison Rapp got a job at eiher Sony or Microsoft, they probably would hav fired her after knowing that hse's a pro-pedophilia but don't take my word on that. This is just a guess

I don't think they'd even hire her.
