Hey Alison Rapp supporters! So, we've got 609 signatures now. Good job! But this petition is really slowing down its pace. We need to pick things up again! Please, please, please, even if you've done so before, tweet, Facebook post, and Google+ post this petition again. Email your friends! There are handy links on the petition's homepage for tweeting, Facebook posting, and emailing if you don't feel like writing anything. And if anyone can pitch in $10 to promote the petition, that'd be great! You can do so from the petition's homepage, and all of that money goes to Change.org to get more eyeballs on this petition. Here are some more of my favourite comments from you guys: "I'm signing this because Nintendo needs to apologize and declare publicly that women and LGBT employees aren't disposable. Games don't belong to hate groups." - Clay Harrington "GamerGate is a movement that is violent and unethical . The firing of Ms Rapp seems to show that Nintendo stands behind these cowardly and cruel practices of the online harassment of women working in games. As an artist in the gaming community and a consumer of Nintendo products, I feel like this is a BIG disappointment, to see corporate gaming culture once again bending to the will of man-children bullying working adults anonymously. I expect better from Nintendo, even if they make a crapload of sexist content in Japan. In North America, this kind of behaviour should cost them sales and support." - Tiffany Thoreson "Gamergate is a real threat to peoples' lives and livelihood, and positive action must be taken to state that their harassment and attacks will not be legitimized." - James Yarrison "Because Nintendo's reaction to the harassment of an employee was to remain silent, and strip her of her duties while they dug into her private life for an excuse to fire her that would play better than the truth. This kind of behaviour broadcasts a message to harassers; that harassment works, that even Nintendo will bend to your will if you hate a woman enough. This is also a message broadcast to women of the industry. It tells them that they're unsafe, that they are unwelcome, that they are without support. Nintendo's actions here were disgusting, selfish and short-sighted." - Gary Kings C'mon everybody! Let's all tweet, and Facebook/Google+ post this petition today, and email some more of our friends about it! That's what I'm doing. We can go over 1,000 signatures soon if we push hard for Alison. Thanks, Kim
