Nintendo of Korea accidentally posts incredibly offensive tweet, says it wasn’t one of their employees

Normally when you hear about a Twitter controversy it’s surrounding a comment made that wasn’t necessarily offensive or hateful, but that offending or upset some people regardless. It’s a two-sided argument that could be defended with some swift PR moves and a few apologies. Today, Nintendo of Korea will have no such luck, because the following tweet (talking about a TV personality on Korea) was posted to their Twitter account, and is certainly very one-sided:

“She should have just stayed as a TV Meteorologist. Getting all the work done on her face like that. How come a brainless bitch like you gets the entire spotlight? Who is your sponsor? TV…sigh…”

The tweet has, predictably, been removed. Rumors are circulating that someone mixed up their personal Twitter account with the one they manage (Nintendo of Korea), but Nintendo of Korea says they are certain no employees would have posted such a thing and they find the matter “frustrating”. Personally, I’m just surprised someone would post something so mean on any Twitter account, much less the one of a corporation! Too much hate, Tweeters.
