A female employee was fired from her position at Nintendo*because she violated her contract by holding a second job — **t because of her feminist views expressed online — the company tells Mashable.
Alison Rapp, a product marketing specialist at Nintendo of America's Seattle ******, tweeted Wednesday she was let go from her position at the company.*
Rapp had faced more than two months of harassment online, much of which was centered around fans upset about changes made for the American localization of Fire Emblem: Fates Forever. (A great summary of the conflict can be found on Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/the-ugly-new-front-in-the-neverending-video-game-cultur-1762942381).)
