@AjayESharma Im aware of GG, but this is such an obvious reference to Watergate that I'm very reluctant to believe her on this
WOW. Indefensible. NOA? Treehouse? Handle your shit. This is spectacularly uncool, regardless of intent. https://twitter.com/UnburntWitch/status/745714046511394816 …

did Watergate have explicit references to five guys? Gamergate did.
-
the main thing that led to Watergate being discovered was the arrest of five male burglars linked to the Nixon administration
-
and the whole career-ruining thing is very apt as Nixon was forced to resign as a result of this
-
out of curiosity, who are the specific five guys associated with the GG movement?
-
the conspiracy that started GG was that Quinn slept with five guys to get good reviews, which was repeated as GG's mantra
-
the tone used by Nintendo seems more analogous to Watergate imo, but either way, it's just a passing joke and they're within..

their rights to make it

I really don't think it's a reference to gamergate, it's just a "gate" scandal joke. Bear in mind design is in japan
-
oh geesus I thought that stupid hashtag died over a year ago... Please don't come back
-
No the hastag hasn't died. My brother started using it. They are fighting against self-censorship in games.

also "fun guys" is a fungi joke. Because they're mushroom people. Also I had no idea 5 guys was involved until this tweet.
-
yeah the only thing I saw was Fungys fungus play on words so I didn't understand why that was bad.

So I am hearing what was not shown after that comment in the game seems to indicate Watergate reference.
-
Context is important. But the audience can and does have different experiences and interpretations.
-
This is true but when someone is offended that does not make them right.

@UnburntWitch Honest question: what are the chances this is actually just about the 5 guys who broke into Watergate?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo -
How badly are your delusions of grandeur to think that they're even aware of ya'lls existence? Come on now.

Is it a good or bad thing that I don't know enough of the details of GamerGate, to understand why this joke is offensive?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo -
Damn. Hurts even more coming from Nintendo, I expect better from them. A little class at least.
