I cant speak to the truth of allegations or how accurate kotaku is or some such thing but i can offer perhaps a helpful perspective.
Granted everything comes from the internet with a grain of salt and i can only do so much to persuade people of the truth to what i say.
I have worked in the Games industry testing specifically for years. I am a male so my experience is different to what the article says. But i can say that there is a running joke if you are in the testing industry in WA state. And that Nintendo and the contracting companies it uses are terrible. Everyone i know who has worked for nintendo has a bad nintendo story at one point or another. Testers in general, contractors especially tend to get the bad end of the stick but it always seems worse at nintendo.
So i 100% believe that some jerks are making womens lives more difficult there. Because ive seen it in other companies too. Its slowly improving but a lot of people dont consider how their actions affect others.
