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.

You're a pretty good one at that. Always fun to see you shit up the threads LMAO

 

[tabzer]

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?

Yes, but did you try reading the comments?

This thread has been nothing but an L for men by exposing just how egotistical and insecure they are.

Why are men still men if they can just stop being men? Then they will stop being egotistical and insecure.

I personally shitpost to vent on shit humanity does, such as conservatives fucking around about the Lightyear movie -- yet ignoring actually important stuff such as workplace discrimination, which is happening RIGHT NOW.

Yes, but did you try reading the comments?

The comments of what, the three or four people here complaining about the fact that non-cishet-neurotypical-white-men are humans, too?

They were talking about your kind, specifically.

The typical superior language of "tolerance". The people complaining that they are humans are the ones bent about the fact that they exist. (Hint: that's you) My comment was about the radical departure of the conversation overnight.

They were talking about your kind, specifically.

They weren't being specific. What is "my kind"?

 

[JJ1013]

and yet

Only 2% - 10% of allegations are provably false, so we can assume that the male is probably guilty. Because, males, males, males.

Uh-huh. Sure it's """me""".
also I just assumed "bent" means "annoyed" because I literally had to search it up on the Urban Dictionary, like what-

What is "my kind"?

And that's being misogynistic. I find it strange that you ask.

That's not me complaining about the fact that non-cishet-neurotypical-white-men are humans, lol. Their existence doesn't enrage me. That comment I made was proper mockery of skewed presentation of facts and logic because someone has penchant for hating on a sex (which is egotistical and insecure btw).

If you want to rage post, take a breather and proof your text before hitting the "humiliate me" submit button. Of course people will empathize with your nonsense, but I don't. "Bent out of shape" is the idiom you are looking for.

And that's being misogynistic. I find it strange that you ask.

Calling your shit isn't misogynistic, lol. Please entertain us and rationalize that.

See the funny thing about arguing with tabzer is how quickly people will realize how little substance any of his "arguments" have. It's just moral outrage at first and then cope where he pretends not to care after getting riled up really easily.

Lol, I like puzzles, but you are just a box of broken pieces. 💔

I enjoyed Portal, but I'm more of a Zelda or RPG fan. I generally like any narrative that attempts to blind side or mystify the audience with the plot, but still has a cohesive story.

You yourself hate on a sex already -- oh, and sexual orientation too, you HAVE defended the Tinfoil dev after his bigoted comments, because "mUh FrEe SpEeCh lol". What he did was far from free speech; it was hate speech. It was directed right towards minorities, and you're acting like that's a good thing.

F A C T S

The Gigaleak is already hard proof that mistreatment happened. Why the hell are you trying to ignore it.

"humilliate me"

Why do I hear "based and redpilled" people always saying that people who defend minorities or actual good causes are humilliating themselves? Are these just sentences they're repeating to themselves? "im an intelectual n theyre smoothbraind lol", over and over and you don't bring up any reasoning, instead dismissing it and clinging to illogical hate, like a child.

I don't hate on sex. If you think I do, then you are going to have to be specific and not try to tell your own story about me, to me. I found the drama surrounding Tinfoil amusing and I still do. I also don't agree with your characterization of what happened, or my position.

I'm not "trying" to ignore it. It just isn't relevent to what I wanted to poke at.

You aren't defending minorities by confronting me. That's pure idiocy that I love to mock. Why do you think I am "based and redpilled"?

well, this has certainly turned into a shit show.
