Kotaku posts article with rendered CP

I don't think this is actual CP under the law but I hope that little SJW infected trash website gets blacklisted from Era like they do every time there's a THQ thread lol.

We will see if those hypocrites DEMAND Jason's head and ban him from the forums.

mean, I guess, but Kotaku's hosted in the US, no? They're fine.

Considering how prudish and super weird the US are on all things related to sex, it's very surprising they're fine with this.

Are they, though? I don't know much about US legislation.

If they get blacklisted from era they lose about 99% of their readers.

Spolier alert: they won't. Schreier is an ally. They won't go to war against friends.

That section of the Protect Act was deemed unconstitutional in US v. Handley actually. It bears no power in US court today.

Thanks for the info, but my understanding was that the Handley ruling was severely more limited than striking that particular section.

Edit: Was linking to a post Handley case and ended up linking to Handley's own prosecution. My apologies.

That was pretty amazing case of self-destructing your own journalistic carrier.

I wonder if there will be someone posting remainder about it in every Kotaku thread on era now :D

As this is a rapidly developing situation please read the updated thread mark

These articles are being published by Kotaku. For those who may not be aware or who may have forgotten, Kotaku had an article where it intended to gain attention using child pornography, as well as for support of harassment, doxxing, and other extremely damaging behaviours.

Kotaku provided no response to this fiasco except for an apology claiming they did not do enough research blaming the readers who felt uncomfortable with child porn and removing the pictures. As the website is unlisted by Google, they had spoken to the media owner about removing "nasty stuff", and content was viewable both before and during the campaign, this claim is beyond belief. The individuals responsible are known not to be rogue PR interns, but go up to Kotaku’s board. Kotaku has not dealt with the individuals responsible.

Consider that by linking to their articles, you are supporting a publisher that is complicit with child pornography.

As someone who identifies as a pre pubescent cartoon character, I'm literally shaking right now. I feel like the Kotaku editorial staff has just raped me while Jason Schreier tries to convince me to let him watch me fuck his wife.

Eh, rule34 exists and is always going to be a thing. If you are doing a piece about cartoon porn on a mainstream website, 3d or hand drawn, it'd be wise to censor the pictures.

With concerns to Hermione, keep in mind, there's a book version of her and that stuff looks nothing like the actress. IMO.

Wow, they must really be down in traffic this month if they need to resort to such clickbait. Thankfully the allies over at resetera will find some way to make this not a big issue and get back to blacklisting THQ for doing a AMA somewhere that posts similar pics.

Surprised that the organization and its most high profile journalist have said so little about this so far. Do they give the targets of their articles this many hours to comment before publishing their stories? I figured by now we'd have been told all about the importance of starting conversations, blah blah blah.

No as a double negative or as "no, they weren't censored"?
Because that would be absolutely unbelievable.

My apologies ThemFuzSelves.

But to answer your question I believe they were uncensored. I didn't actually click the article myself but based on the reactions in the ResetEra thread and how stupid Kotaku tends to be, I'm inclined to believe that they stupidly posted the pictures in full.

Readers are understandably uncomfortable about these kinds of depictions of characters who are often depicted as or thought of as teenagers.

Depicted as or thought of is some AAA grade weasel wording, it's part of the story, character design, everything, that they were teenagers in these settings, if not even younger.

Like a lot of other, the funniest part will be to see how Era will behave in future post about Kotaku.
It’s going to be a lot of fun.

it is such bullshit that a site which will never refrain from calling Quiet a horrible sexist thing that should be banned will go ahead and describe & post animated sex with a 12 year old. this disgusting bullshit that belongs on 4chan, or some anonymous message board, not some mainstream video game publication. shame.

what a trash rad. Kotaku is bargain bin Jerry Springer trash, just like Gawker. flush this shit down the toilet.

Every Kotaku thread from now on needs a disclaimer and Jason needs a CP supporter tag. If you have an account there you have to remind them. What Kotaku did is even worst than THQ.

Game Developers Really Need To Stop Letting Teenage Boys Design Their Characters

This is the newest trailer for Dragon's Crown, the Vanillaware-developed game that will be out this year for PS3 and Vita. It features the sorceress, one character from the game. As you can see, the sorceress was designed by a 14-year-old boy. Perhaps game development studios should stop hiring...

Live footage of me at ResetEra

(removed, too graphic)

Edit: Too graphic? I respectfully disagree. One was John Travolta in front of shirtless guys, and the other was just made to look like people fapping while they're clearly from a cooking show 🤷‍♂️

Use this instead

It is a ship firing her torpedoes. But maybe it was edited because John Travolta is still in a cult.

So this is just artwork? Not actual CP? Who cares, you got my hopes up that Kotaku made a massive, industry level fuck up instead of a minor one.

How did this shit even get past an editor? I mean how on earth does that article get any sort of approval to get posted?
