On a person by person basis though, if someone gets arrested by the policd for whatever reason, they get a warrant to search his phone and they stumble across your average hentai pics on them, that person is turbo-fucked.

Editor’s Note - 5:25pm:

This story, part of our regular coverage of the intersection of sex and games, originally included screenshots from several porn parodies with a note that they were Not Safe For Work. We’ve since removed those images. While the intent of this article was to provide a snapshot of the kind of gaming and geek porn that’s out there now, it’s clear in retrospect that, in terms of the images and the analysis you expect from us, we made a mistake. Readers are understandably uncomfortable about these kinds of depictions of characters who are often depicted as or thought of as teenagers. I am, too and apologize. We can do better, and we will. - Stephen Totilo, Editor-in-Chief

WE CAN DO BETTER

Less explicitly blamed, but still heavily implied, is the movement of crowdfunded games such as Shenmue III to the Epic Games store. In the post, Sauropod said these moves "contributed to an erosion of the overall community confidence in crowdfunded games, and for many people in a reticence to back, or even look at, new and ongoing campaigns."

Bronson Lee isn't going to like this!

people who travel are the worst. EXCUSE ME I HAVE SOMEWHERE VERY IMPORTANT TO BE IT REQUIRES AIR TRAVEL. get over it.

I'm going on V A C A T I O N

going where?

traveling by plane. gonna relax real far from home.

damn that is sick. take the baby.

people, traveling by plane: I'm very important, allow me to travel long distances because i require to! the rules should only apply to me arbitrarily.
me, an impartial observer: shut the fuck up you don't need to go where you're going. stay in your house dude.

you should need a doctor's note to be anywhere near an airplane.

I thought about that before going to bed, it gives Biden an out when/if Warren bruises him in the polls. "Oh, as a focal point of the impeachement inquiry I feel it is the more responsible thing to put country over personal ambition and not run for President, so everything from our side is 100% above board, unlike the criminal in chief." Or something. Word it to make sure you make yourself look clean as possible and self-sacrificing instead of a loser. Might even boost his cred with voters, is a great story for the stupid media circus and help him really push people to the polls for the eventual nominee.

User Warned: Hostility

Why do you quote me and attempt to talk to me like a pretentious dumb fuck? Do you have zero social skills? If you felt like you had nothing to gain from my post, why respond? You're trying to piggyback on a discussion that was concluded some time ago. If you paid attention, you could see that I and the posters I disagreed with decided to agree to disagree. The exchange between me and numerous others ended, but for some reason you've taken it upon yourself to resurrect it and make it seem like I was hassling them. I essentially said that what they were doing was presenting speculation as fact, and judging a game and studio based upon a game they had not played. No more, no less.

This is not a "TV tropes" thing, I've been debating this issue with people for many years and I'm pretty damn sick of Straights trying to straightsplain why this isn't a problem. There's always an excuse, there's always some reason why this piece of media doesn't count. Except none of them ever count.

bingo.

tired of seeing dead and unhappy lesbians / wlw relationships. If there were a plethora of stories about queer women without tragedy striking, whatever. But this is like 99% of them. I'm just tired and bored. Be more creative and do better. don't reply to this if you're a straight guy coming to tell me why i'm wrong, please.

[benjipwns]

A-fucking-men. After the shit Druckman had Ellie endure in the first game (not to mention killing a queer girl of color), anything other than Ellie having a positive relationship with another woman and both of them living in the end is unacceptable.

If Druckman is a good ally at all, he is not going to pull this shit.

See the problem is that even if ND are pulling the ol', "Fooled 'ya!" misdirection trick, they're doing it on the backs of an already marginalized group.

That's incredibly tone deaf no matter how the game actually plays out.

All we have is the trailer and in the trailer they iced the queer character. Again.

ND saying, "Just kidding, folks!" doesn't change the fact that they still led an audience along with a tired-ass toxic trope.

Poor form, imo.

There are 4 gay characters that we've been introduced to in The Last of Us series.
Ellie, Riley, Bill and Dina.

Riley is dead.
Bill has a dead partner and is all alone.
Ellie has a dead girlfriend
and now potentially a second dead girlfriend.

Even if you don't care for the bury your gays trope its really boring and its annoying and disheartening to see them use it for all of their gay characters.

Imagine being so caught in the LGBT stuff that you forget they killed two black brothers.

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT (even if their last release were two women of color having the lead in an Uncharted game)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kotaku-posted-an-article-with-animated-child-porn-nsfw.142926/post-24845885

So Kotaku is promoting pedophilia now?

Is Kotaku banned yet? CP is fucking disgusting. No excuses.

Anyone else just taken aback that a journalist would publish the fact they watched child porn as an article? Could there be like, legal consequences of this?

If only I think all of this is another example of how normalized child porn imaginery (or straight child porn) is normalized, where an article that should be about denouncing falls victim of that normalization.

Games journalism continues to be a dumpster fire, why the hell is reviewing porn even on a gaming website. Whoever wrote the article deserves to have a nice visit from the feds

I shared this with my site's group chat and we're all kind of in stupefied awe here.

To all aspiring game bloggers out there, take it from a small-time game journalist: apply common sense at all times, especially regarding child porn.

I wonder what floats around their office when shit like this is normalized enough for the editor to casually ok.

Kotaku writers visit Ed Boon's rape and murder dungeons confirmed.

[VomKriege]

Also why would it suddenly be OK if it turned out this was all a misdirection? Honestly if it were a misdirection then I think that, morally, it would be somewhat worse. At the very least if the story is as the trailer portrays then Naughty Dog will have used the suffering of queer folk as the basis of some creative worth instead of just using it as a cynical marketing tool to sell pre-orders.

[benjipwns]

Do you guys think this will be a huge blow to the opening weekend numbers? I am legit terrified to go to the big blockbuster premiers anymore.

I am consistently in places of potential danger due to the violent/gun enthusiast nation I live in.

When I went to Anime Expo the past two years I thought of that and every day in school I find myself thinking what if.

I really hope they don't pull this from theaters before next Friday.

Shouldn't they be telling people not to go to the movies period?

I almost feel the same way. Just unnecessary risk to attend large public gatherings anymore. Going to wait for that blu ray release.

I want to see the film, but gonna stay away from the theaters for at least the first week or two. Such is the state of things.

If something does end up happening it's safe to assume we won't be seeing Joker as a character in the big screen until the US gets their shit together.

Being totally serious here: I have second-hand PTSD from the aurora incident and sometimes I get really unreasonably nervous at theaters.

I get this in fucking Vancouver BC.

It's a crazy fucking world, so this shit could happen anywhere, but I can't imagine how much worse this feeling would be if I lived in the States. I visited Seattle shortly after one of the many shootings somewhere in the States and felt a true sense of unease and dread like something was going to happen while I was down there. Sad to feel so damn unsafe just being out in public.

Almost every time I watch a movie in theaters now the thought at least crosses my mind.

[VomKriege]

Stupid question, if there's a credible threat and there's specific chatter, any reason they can't find the fucker/s who are thinking about doing shit?

Occam's razor say : LIHOP.

I went to see Ad Astra the other day and this guy next to me was acting so odd. He had a backpack on his lap and his hand inside it the entire time. I could barely focus on the film because my mind and heart were racing.

All this stuff about Joker is starting to scare me. I have 7pm Dolby tickets for that Thursday.

  Sure he's the one acting weird.

It is almost as if the Joker has outgrown America.

A movie about mental illness is dangerous. Guns are alright though.

[nudemacusers]

Don’t fret, while watching the joker for a couple hours will push people to commit acts of extreme violence and depravity, early next year the last of us 2 comes out and the interactive, extreme gore and violence players can perform repeatedly for days on end will make troubled folks think twice about such things and will in no way normalize their aberrant behavior.

Era,

2020 is almost upon us and brings with it the dawn of a new generation. We already know Halo Infinite is confirmed for Xbox Scarlett and probably Horizon 2 & Ghosts of Tsushima for Sony.

H1 2020 is proving to be even crazier with TLOU2, Ori 2, Cyberpunk, SE's Avengers, FFVII Remake, Minecraft Dungeons, Animal Crossing, Nioh 2, Rainbow Six Quarantine all just in H1.

Then, there are the dark horses : Diablo 4, Zelda: BOTW2, Starfield or BGAE2 . I expect atleast 2 of these in 2020 or early 2021.

So, which game do you think will win THE GOTY 2020?

[Ghoul]

Yeah can just imagine the comments of objectification and sexualization of lesbians if the end scene of TLOU2 is Ellie getting finger blasted by her lover.
