The GamerGate side is split into four major factions on this, as explained earlier in the thread, and some other background details should help fill in some blanks.

The original party on the GamerGate side of things to break the news Rapp was white knighting pedos was some butthurt GGRevolt guy who was apparently trying to (or it has been seen as an attempt to) falseflag all the GamerGaters pissed Treehouse butchered Fire Emblem's translation (the main party they wanted to pin to the wall is Nick Margos, who had direct involvement in the butchering) .

GGRevolt is like the butthurt edgelords of GG, kicked out of the main GG communities due to said cringey edgy shit, so while it turned out to be true Rapp was a pedo white knight, a lot of GamerGaters didn't want to focus on that because they wanted to not give attention to the GGR idiot (even if he had a valid point), though events have made the attempt to wish this shit away kinda pointless.

However, some either never heard of this pedo knight through the GGR idiot and don't care, which further contributed to GG side's divided response to this shit show.

If anything, that is the actual stuff that makes them closer to the SJW as internal politics take front seat over actually trying to get the issue.
 
Case would be cut and dry. Her thesis, which she openly plugs, explicitly states she sees no ethical difference between loli hentai and actual CP.

Nintendo would be fully within their rights in saying they don't want someone like that representing their brand.

Oh I agree with you totally, but that fact won't stop her from feeling entitled to money and wronged by her rightful termination. Some "activist" attorney will take her case for a fee and lose or try to settle out of court. So there will be a dawn out and ultimately pointless drama with tons of sperging.

I also believe Rapp subscribes to the "any attention is good attention" school of thought. Her being laughed out of court will be an excuse to beg for more pity bucks.
 
Thank you for clarifying!
So it does have to do with the Fe fates censoring? Because this should be in the op. It's hilarious that it's just pedos yelling at other pedos at this point lol.

Not directly. Here's the short version so you don't need to dig through only one page of me sperging as opposed to about thirty pages of GG sperging.

Nich Maragos is a former translator for Atlus.
He works for Treehouse now and is widely considered a mainstay in Nintendo of America's localization pit.

FE: Fates recently came out, and though the game itself is good, the states got a vastly inferior product. This is no mere case of censored boobage - the game being essentially feature-crippled, with countless changes, entire character arcs and motivations removed or changed for no reason, giant stretches of plot excised (bear in mind, it's a Fire Emblem game, so the damned thing being a story of kingdom-shattering betrayals is practically a mandate), and so on.

It's also loaded with spelling errors, grammar mistakes, and minor shit that was changed just for the sake of changing it. To give a general synopsis, around sixty percent of the game's dialogue was removed for the localized version. The US VAs are absolutely atrocious because Treehouse gave them no indication of how the characters were intended to be personality-wise. Memes from about five years ago were added. The translation is bad enough that people are questioning whether or not the game was intended to be a joke translation - to the point where people have compared it to what 4kids did to One Piece - and the weebs have been working on a delocalization patch since apparently all the slashed content is still there, just inaccessible, and with a properly-developed retranslation patch, they'll be playing it the way Weeb Jesus intended.

During the kerfluffle over just what a clusterfuck this was, it came to light that multiple members of Treehouse essentially admitted to making dialogue up, changing shit because they felt like it, et al. Bad enough, but this inevitably led to the discovery that Nich Maragos had Patreon-backed the assholes who originally led the outrage machine against Fates when it was in development - claiming that it had "gay conversion therapy" and similar outright lies. In essence, someone in said localization pit was paying the patreon of someone who had called for said localization pit to censor the game in the first place. Nich wasn't the only localizer who had been caught doing this, either, and in an effort to get more information about it, people started digging into it, the same way GG's internet autism machine always does.

This led, inevitably, to Alison Rapp.

Rapp is another Treehouse staffer, but the weebs of TorrentialDownpour have basically ignored her for months - like Wu, she's a sensationalizing nutter and nobody wanted to feed her. So finally, she's relevant to discussion, and GGers look into Rapp to see if she also financially supported the same loons Maragos did, and this led to the discovery of her earlier "Child Porn Ownership is OK" content.

After a brief case of GGers in general going "another Anti gets caught defending pedophiles, color us fucking surprised," it was then non-GG parties (you know who they are) who immediately latched onto it, since this kind of meant that a main PR agent for Nintendo of America was on-record as defending Child Porn ownership.

Those interested in seeing a chimpout then pushed the issue, and @Spectator delivered the final push with triumphant style, leading us to the glorious atsimu we've seen from this.

And that's a truncated synopsis of how we arrived where we are now.

Maybe but lawyers who file completely pointless, doomed suits don't usually last long. Most lawyers who do employment law do it on contingency and take cases where they can win or get a good settlement.

Companies like NoA often take a bridge-burning go-fuck-yourself attitude to nuisance suits because settling one sends the message you're an easy target for a shakedown and attracts more of them, like feeding feral cats.

Sure, it'd be fun to watch, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for legal drama out of this.

Thank you so much. I'm glad I got it right the first time. Pedos yelling at other pedos.
But seriously regardless of anything y'all should donate to @Spectator's charity. It's a very worthwhile cause at only $10 a month.
but according to @Karen Riley and @Michel ending child sex trafficking is autistic

Oh, you. :heart-full:

In all honesty, it is kind of weird how this issue's caused the likes of Nyberg and the PIDF to resurface again. All we need is Chloe Sagal losing her shit and we're pretty much at a protracted lolcow convergence event. :lol:
 
I don't know what kind of wacky stuff she's going to post when she gets canned. What I do know is that it will be shared by a simpleton with #Justice4Rapp added to it.

It is my sincerest hope that, in turn, #Justice4Rapp, is adopted by Kanye to better promote his woes in the music profession.
 
What was removed from their games? I haven't been following the localisation chimpouts because animoo content disgusts me so much I'd probably rage out harder than UglyOldJafar in a dobson thread.

Short list:

* Several characters have had massive dialogue changes and personality changes:
** One of the samurai characters is now flanderized to the point of sperging about pickles.
** Male children of the protagonist wind up friend-zone or flat-out rejected in 90% of his S-rank supports. I.E. the characters he is canonically supposed to be able to marry and indeed, can in the Japanese version. His best benefits are then tied to someone who he has no romantic attachment to, and he can never re-assign it to anyone else.
** One major support conversation between two assassins and the litany of misdeeds they've done has been completely replaced by them "......."-ing at one another for several pages.
** Any unfortunate implications towards Incest (not a new concept in FE; it takes place in the middle ages, for fuck's sake) are stripped out entirely, even though for several characters this is a defining characterization moment.
** Several support convos just flat-out removed or made inaccessible, for no reason.
** A "Gentle Giant" style female character is essentially Sully 2.0 in the localization.
** The revelation that Rhajat is, in fact, Tharja from Awakening, is gone because the Lesbian support that allowed it is removed.
** Countless personality bluntings, added memes, etc.

Cbtrl8SVAAA1G0X.jpg:large

* Spelling errors and grammar errors. Lots of 'em.

* Multiple changes to the gameplay and stuff you can do in the game.
** The entire Pokemon Amie-esque minigame that allowed you to pet your teammates and wife/husband is removed.
** A five-minute cooldown timer is added to castle use. This was not in the Japanese version and hamstrings resource acquisition for stateside players.

This is a very short version, but the changes go on for pages and are so numerous that they've filled articles that go on for pages.

Which leads to this Article about a man caught with Child Porn because he was robbed.

Text, for those who want all there atismu and atismu accessories in one place.
A central California man has been arrested for possession of child pornography, thanks to a tip from burglars who robbed the man's property, authorities said.
Last month, a juvenile and a 19-year-old illegally accessed the property of Kraig Stockard, 54, of Delhi, California, according to a statement from Deputy Tom MacKenzie of the Merced County Sheriff's Department. They broke into Stockard's barn and stole about 50 CDs they believed were blank.
Stockard filed a police report on the incident on September 12, according to MacKenzie.
But the young people who stole the CDs were in for a surprise. When they began putting the discs into their computer, they discovered that some of them contained pornographic images of children, the statement said.
Despite having obtained the CDs under decidedly shady circumstances, the pair decided to report Stockard to the police.
A search warrant was served and three more computers and three laptops were taken from Stockard's home, along with several external hard drives. Police said there were thousands of pictures and movies on the CDs -- more than 30 of the 50 discs had child pornography on them.
Investigators said Stockard has been downloading indecent images of children since 2004. He has admitted possessing the pornography on the CDs but has refused to say whether there is pornography on the computers, they said. Stockard was booked for possession of child pornography and posted $25,000 bail.
The two burglar suspects who reported Stockard have not been arrested.
Their case has been sent to the Merced County District Attorney's Office for review. When reached for comment, a press officer told CNN the office could not comment on the case because one of the informants in question is a juvenile.
The following is barely related (came up on a Google search for Stockard), but it's weird enough that I think it needs to be shared.
I'm going to watch some of this guy's videos, because he may warrant a thread of his own.

All of those videos at the bottom are from 4 years ago, so you might want to find some that are much more recent if he's still active.

I think you used the wrong link for the male child of the protagonist - it seems to link to the same thing as the Rhajat thing.

In any case, I really have to wonder why this wasn't caught beforehand. Did nobody at NoA run a background check on the PR person they were hiring?
