![]() The result is disgusting and horrible, but she didn't make that content, she just pointed out what was out in the open. ![]() It did that in one of the worst ways possible, but that was the intention of the piece, to look at what is porn being made related to video games and hosted on mainstream porn sites. That said, the original piece, while mishandled immensely, did shine a light on what this kind of 'fandom', video game adjacent porn often looks like, which was the intention of the article in first place. She should have never included screenshots of the content in the article, and it's still pretty shocking Kotaku's editorial didn't remove them to begin with. The original article was poorly done and extremely triggering for me given my trauma. It is, no matter how you look at it from whatever angle, a place only a pedophile would be.Īs someone who was sexually abused for the entirety of my teenage years by online predators who used content like that to groom me, and who stumbled upon all kinds of fucked up fictional porn as part of that abuse and just from being into anime/manga as a kid, I find a lot of the responses here extremely misguided hurtful given the degree to which this is a problem online and the ubiquity and normalization of it in many mainstream online spaces. That's something that could be an honest mistake on her end, though still something her editor should have stopped. It's so heavily stylized that ages don't properly communicate there unless spelled out. the other shit in the article, is because if it's a character like Misty she might legitimately have no idea how old that character is. There is no coming back from that.Īnd the reason I keep harping on the Harry Potter stuff specifically and not. Posting child pornography, generally speaking, is up there with the absolute worst in terms of how reprehensible it is. Time and effort can repair those bridges. If someone is culturally insensitive or just has some outdated/harmful world views, that person needs to challenge those and grow as a person. Like there's a lot of mistakes you can make that are forgivable. She literally looked up CP and then posted it publicly with no content warnings. As for the writer, the article makes me think the writing might be interesting in Goodbye Volcano High.Ĭlick to shrink.Okay I said "mistake" earlier because this wasn't some slip. The one effectively presenting the child porn is the editor. But that is the editor's fault for exposing me to them, not the writer. She did her job, though, she wrote a creative piece. ![]() Her article was an interesting viewpoint, and I appreciated her honesty in displaying her sexual adventures so publicly, but the pictures were a mistake. If there had been no editor, then she could be held responsible. She definitely made a mistake, but the editor was the one who failed her in publicly displaying that mistake. That's why editors exist, to reign in the creative process. I mean there is a reason artists have a stereotype of being eccentric and weird. From a creative standpoint, the state of mind of a writer while in the midst of creating content and maintaining tone sometimes leads to pushing boundaries, that's just the risk of the creative process.
