Child Porn should be a hard line, period.
This is an old post in the THQ thread but I appreciate the simplicity and the number of layers removed between "users can't make threads about this game" and "pedophilia"
This is some Kevin Bacon shit
-
User is banned from ResetEra- The reason is because the user ignored the rules and made a thread to discuss Shenmue 3
- The user made a thread to discuss Shenmue 3 because he bought the game and was playing it and enjoying it
- Shenmue 3 is a much-anticipated video game made by Neilo and Ys Net headed up by a 60-year-old Japanese man who's had some hard luck in the industry at times
- He managed to get his sequel finally made through a successful Kickstarter and additional funding from Sony and publisher Deep Silver (funding announced Aug 2017)

Through a series of incredibly silly events, THQ Nordic acquired Koch Media, parent company of Deep Silver in Feb 2018
- THQ Nordic has over 1000 employees, however at least one of them is a PR/social media manager
- This person decided to hold an impromptu, casual event where anyone can ask questions and the company can answer them, for fun
- This event was decided to take place at a board called 8chan
- 8chan has a lot of terrible users, but they tend to toe the line with what sort of content is allowed by US law
- However at one point in 2015, some really heinous shit was being posted and not taken down quickly enough, which got them temporarily blacklisted by Google until it was gone
- Therefore users discussing the game are directly supporting pedophilia and will be
bannedHonestly I'm shocked they didn't take just a couple more steps
- 8chan is a site hosted on the internet, extending culpability to anyone who normalizes this communication platform
- The internet's creation can be traced back directly to significant contributions made by a man named Albert Gore
- Albert Gore was known to fraternize with a woman named Hillary Clinton
