I was expecting OP to be a reach, but fucking hell, what were they thinking? It's blatant and completely unnecessary to have those pictures.
Nope.

Did Kotaku just post an article with (animated) child porn? (NSFW) [Up: Kotaku apologizes]

Lol sounds like you know nothing about 4chan. There is R34 like this all over Reddit even.
User Banned (2 weeks): Grossly inappropriate and inflammatory accusations
Umm...I guess at this point I shouldn't be surprised, some of the shit that Kotaku spews out of their newsroom is god awful but this is a new low.
you seem awfully defensive about someone posting literal video game child pornography, wanna say something else about it?

I've no problems with the idea of talking about sex in video games, I just don't see the point in this case when the article (and possibly the Sims one, I've not read it) doesn't really have anything to say. Like, I don't go posting what kind of porn I've watched on here. An d that's all it seems this was about. It's bizarre. And this obviously isn't getting into the underage bit of it all.
I'm not going to go and compare this to actual child porn, but it's nonetheless really fucking weird choices she picked to share. It's not really something that people should be fine just putting out there.
Can we ban Kotaku now?
Others have gotten the "Persona non grata" treatment here for miniscule "offenses". This Kotaku thing is some disgusting shit.

Yeah, well good luck to them. Blizzard tried to scrub overwatch porn off the internet and that went nowhere for them lol. Cause there is mountains of Zelda related porn out there.

Lmaoo
Yep, places/people have been blacklisted here for FAR less offending things than this...
Just Tweeted Stephen Tortillo about this. This is so disgusting at so many levels that he approved this article.
When have I ever said this article is ok? When have I dismissed that the article is bad?
I'm just concerned about people using this shit as a cover to start bringing in GG-level rhetoric about sites they hate and especially them starting to focus in on the writer, with 0 idea how much of this was due to the writer and not the editor or what they were assigned to talk about. Especially given that people immediately started insulting their past writing or acting like she was writing all of it without supervision, instead of it being her job to write only about that topic?
The thread should probably just be locked at this point, imo. It's moving too fast, everyone's saying the same stuff, and this is just going to escalate.
I mean that's probably true. There are thousands of teenagers writing NSFW Harry Potter fanfiction right at this moment. It's not exactly a new phenomenon...
There's kind of a weird section of Gen Z internet where it's socially acceptable to post porn if it's used for comedy. It's all over Twitter. It's probably jarring for people who aren't used to it.
And of course, this author took it twenty steps too far. I'm glad I wasn't curious enough to click on the article, because it sounds FBI OPEN UP levels of bad.
Sackable offence. There is no excusing this. The blame lays with the writer and the editor who okayed it to be uploaded. A serious statement sacking the two and apology from Kotaku against this trash will suffice. I'm not giving them another click until this happens. They currently don't deserve it.
Not for an article on a major website that will be read by thousands. People can do whatever in their privacy.
I mean that's exactly what's happening. People acting like Kotaku is in any way comparable to fuckin 8ch lmao
This article is fuckin gross but some of y'all are way too obvious

What is this? Those face reactions are great.
No I meant specifically about Kotaku, idk like black list them?, its doesn't really matter tbh lol
This is not GG rhetoric. You might find one or two assholes lurking but the outrage here is wholly justified
The concern trolling of people taking this to GG-level rhetoric is hilarious.
Why the theatrics? People are calling out the disturbing content for what it is, stop being weird about it.

Damn, didn't know this was the audience to which they catered now. Haven't been a regular reader since the console wars began anew in '12.
DISGUSTING SHIT, I regret clicking on it earlier on. Don't even search for this. Fuck you kotaku, now I have to go to work with this in mind.
Where's this gif from? LOL

I have so many questions but the most important one -- like, zero attempt was done to actually edit the images in question I presume? Because eeesh
Hey, I'll admit that I did cross a line with my previous post. It was closed minded of me to say that she should be fired based on her writing only about sex games. Sorry, dude. :( But this article having really explicit pictures sounds like it really did cross a line in and of itself, and I don't want to open the link myself, admittedly, based on everyone else's reactions. Though banning Kotaku solely from this one article is not something I agree with.
Sensible takes are rare in this day and age, and it's nice to see one expressed here.
