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.

I was told it was bad manners to not @ someone when you talk about them.

Well you'll have to get over it.

Should I get over it like you all got over it? By whining and crying?

Hey @Nothereed, care to comment?

Yesterday we were talking about how crude jokes are offensive,

Oh, what to expect. The classic "you dont got the totaly funi joke get fcked".

I listened to a video reading the article and I'm not sure which culture is more obscene, Japan or America -- after all, it's NoA we're talking about, and those "jokes" about Vaporeon and the Genshin Impact character were not even funny, if you defend that person you're basically defending the kinds of Shane Dawson. It reminds me of this 2015 Destructoid satire article I found, which claimed Cave Story was the worst videogame ever made. It was getting funny, until I got to a part where the writer mentioned "furry" -- good enough -- but THEN literally added what seemed to be crudely drawn kind-of-NSFW imagery in the third-to-last and last bullet point. Mind you, the two characters I recognized (Sue from Cave Story, Tails from Sonic The Hedgehog) were underage, so it makes little sense to me how this article is still out there; I'm still able to find it on Google, and Kotaku was smacked really hard for doing such a stupid thing as this. The one writing the article was this "Jim Sterling" fellow.

Aside from the fact that I need eye bleach and will not look at any article from Destructoid ever again in hopes that I will not find something similar, Tabzer -- do you not have the ability to take the fucking L for once?

The guy takes nothing but Ls lmao. That's why he has to wear the facade so hard.

I strongly agree with this.

the gigaleak provided hard evidence of women getting mistreated in game development (starfox dev Argonaut) so It's not really something that's hard to believe. It doesn't mean things definitely did or didn't happen, it just means it's likely.

I was reading this out-loud in a Mockney accent, and was caught off-guard when I got to the last sentence.
I genuinely feel dissapointed and kind of ashamed by the fact that humanity can act this immature, let alone people who are like this and call themselves "men".

This thread has been nothing but an L for men by exposing just how egotistical and insecure they are. It’s kind of sad but still good material to keep adding to my list of members to ignore. 👌

Wait wait wait, hold the goddamn fuck up, this shit was in the gigaleak? I deeply regret not keeping that shit when it came out now.

There's weird Nintendo stuff that has been exposed by the gigaleak, such as Nintendo Ninjas being confirmed to exist.

Oh, and this one is kinda amusing -- there are leaked sprites in which Mario punching Yoshi is more evident.

Well fuck guess im going to get ignored

 

[JJ1013]

Funny how those in the replies who were flaming us went silent or ignored the Gigaleak proof I just quoted.

Hey, weren't you "based and redpilled" idiots asking for proof?

Here's the proof. What the fuck is your excuse? Are you gonna complain about the fact that you were proved wrong in that-Kiwi-corner?

 

[yuyuyup]

Wait wait wait, hold the goddamn fuck up, this shit was in the gigaleak? I deeply regret not keeping that shit when it came out now.

Not only that, it was actually highlighted in the document describing thje gigaleaks, and supposedly happened around starfox 2 development, if the directory means anything.

 

[sombrerosonic]

also wasn't this one attacking Lilith

Yo idiot it was a joke...

I apologize. I usually take many things too seriously.
