Maybe they were more concerned about these:

It's something Disney would be upset about and Nintendo is somewhat in the same ballpark.
Before you ask: No, Nintendo isn't an equal rights company in any capacity, and I point to Metroid: Other M as all the evidence I need.

Worker rights are reflected in the games they make? Thats a good observation. We must push to make it legally actionable for companies producing games that in the opinion of self appointed critics ''represent women poorly'' to be sued for gender discrimination.

Calling members of your own consumer base a hate mob is directly at odds with being a PR representative for a major corporation, and it’s as simple as that.
These last couple of years we have seen quite a few individuals in a similar position that took it upon themselves to decide whose money was worth more (or less). They don’t seem to understand how a business works. Money is money. Team Ninja’s community manager put their unprofessional personal spin on why DOAX3 wasn’t coming to the West, which the company certainly didn't want because they plan to sell other games there. Even CD Projeckt’s previous community manager compared GG to the Ku Klux Klan, and that was on the very same Twitter channel where he was advertising The Witcher 3. These people have no barrier between their personal and professional lives, which is not good when their sole job is to promote games and foster consumer loyalty.
If someone cannot do their job because of personal beliefs, then quit. This culture of treating the workplace like a personal platform for divisive beliefs makes me sick. I think a pharmacist countermanding a doctor's orders and refusing to sell abortion pills (which have multiple uses outside of their name) because of their religious beliefs to a patient who just had just suffered a horrifying miscarriage is possibly one of the most disgusting I've heard about so far.

Such concepts of duty and personal responsibility are ironically hugely alien in today's society that gives lip service to all sorts of larger than life causes. The personal is political. Personalize, polarize, etc... Tolerance is support. Allowing free speech is agreement. Yadah, yadah...
I keep saying it's all mostly caused by an almost fetishization of individual subjective perception over objective universal reality. We need more community, more tolerance, more honest communication, more transparency and openenness.
Alternatively we will collectively move towards removing a lot of the democratic and individual empowerment that accumulated in the past decades. Whether that will take the form of contraceptive limitations, speech limitations, movement limitation, or whatever else... is too relative and dependent on specifc sociopolitic and geopolitic factors.
And not surprisingly most of pushback I always got in these topics was always for pointing out how the rejection of objectivity in journalism was the core truth of GG. The fact that Ethics in Journalism became ridiculed almost from the get go was tragic as hell - sure some people use such keywords pejoratively, just like the other side can use SJW pejoratively. But fundamentally it shows a huge disconnect on the premises, a gap I try to bridge by attempting to highlight how deep the chasm actually goes, more often than not only causing vertigo and nausea to all involved. :(

From Alison Rapp's thesis conclusion:
I side with the camp that argues not only for less strict legislation against the simple possession of child pornography (the creation and dissemination of child pornography depicting real children is a whole other matter entirely), but also for an abatement of the pressure put on Japan for its “lax” and rarely enforced laws. […] The conditions that encourage child abuse, child prostitution, and child trafficking, likely have little, if not nothing, to do with people possessing even a questionable type of media. Instead of directing its efforts at wiping out child pornography (especially child pornography depicting fictional children, being that there is almost no proof that real children are ever harmed in the creation, distribution, or possession of it), nations like the United States should be focused on improving domestic healthcare options, educational opportunities, job markets, and other social, political, and economic solutions that quantifiably help keep children (and adults-at-risk) out of illegal and damaging exploitative situations. Japan has already done this; and, being that Japan has signed the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child [[Note from Vainamoinen: Still not ratified in the US after 26 years because it forbids life imprisonment for children and the death penalty for children]], and has a much lower rate of child abuse than many Western states, I believe it is time for the United States and other countries to learn from their Eastern neighbor: Censoring media, however questionable, does not solve societal ills.
