Is there something I'm missing, that twitter thread you linked doesn't have much
She opened the article in question with this:

quote:

The other day, I called my friend and asked her if she would be down to watch a bunch of video game porn with me so I could write about it.

I am blessed to have the kind of friends who would not only say yes to this kind of thing, but would actively plan a beer-and-porn evening where I could also snuggle up with her gigantic fluffy beast of a dog. Before you all start making creepy comments, the porn wasn’t remotely sexy. It was hilarious, and I wanted someone else to laugh at how bad it was. Plus, my friend had been in porn herself, too. I wanted her expertise. And also to cuddle her dog.

...which is maybe a little odd (petting a dog while watching porn) but okay, each to their own. But that is then immediately coupled with an image of Hermione having sex with Harry's cousin Dudley once you scroll down. So she's basically telling people "Haha, me and my friend watched CG porn of underage kids, it was great!".

Like..... uhhhhhhh. Yes, very normal. :yikes:

The article then included more images and graphic descriptions of Breath of the Wild and Pokemon porn.

I am being more general, it's definitely been a common tactic in cinema since Haneke, and subsequently filtering into horror and action films (though Spec Ops and Undertale have basically mined that territory well enough for games). CoDs have always splashed in a bit of hand-wringing over violence in order to make the jingoism more palatable. Since AAA designers are all about carbon copying films they're only now really catching up

thats the thing though i feel like its something thats been allowed more space in other media, whereas we've had it basically once in AAA games so far, and there hasnt been any further conversation about it. CoD actually ended up ditching that entirely, the CoD game that came out a year after spec ops is one of the more disgusting storylines ive ever seen in a game with how straight faced nationalist and violent it is. i think theres still room to bang the drum but im coming from a point where i rarely if ever play AAAs anymore, because i legitimately got tired of singleplayer games where it was just pretty realisticly rendered violence with nothing to say at all, so im happy for people to make an attempt at this point. i think big budget games need to come to terms with it more, i dont think its particularly good to keep on the line of lots of violence and no message. at least in cinema it feels like there is a much better balance to me.

Yeah honestly these days I am more on board with someone depicting violence while saying "look how cool this is" because at least that's forthright, media creators that are like "look how i'm teaching you about violence and your implication in it, while i myself gain prestige and profit from it but ignore that part" are just wearying at this point

Agreed

This is what kojima mitigated with the tranq gun, and what tlou lacks. You give the player something that still aids passive play even in sticky situations, and then you can make valid commentary on violence and those who use it. Tlou forcing you not only to brutalize, but minimizing the tools needed to do so just ensures that player kills. Tlou2 sounds super manipulative, especially when druckman admits they tuned the game based on watching players.

OK wow, i was thinking more like an SA frontpage article angle making fun of creeps writing this poo poo, not some creeps having a good time and wanting to share while seeking out that poo poo. Spreading and amplifying the images is extra sick. I seen a Peanuts porn image once and I reported it to the site admins and filed one of those fbi report things but idk if they ever act on those.

I filed some of those once when I worked at this print shop that lovely owner was "buddies" with the shady modeling company in california. It was one of those scams where wannabe models end up paying this company a ton of money to have us print low-quality "comp cards" for the models and get them to pay for some modeling opportunities staged by the company at malls or wherever. The owner of that company was a POS too, ripping off employees as much as the models at times. Anyway, they were indiscriminate in who they'd scam, parents paying almost a thousand bucks for their little kid to get "professional" modeling comp cards, ugh. The notion of child models grosses me out, I think advertising targeting children should still be illegal, fuckin, period. Some parents were extra loving creepy and I'd report em to FBI since they provided their names and addresses and contact info and all that.

I used to use my ex-boss's name to harass the owner of that company while working there on company time but it lost it's fun when I quit

I really wouldn't be surprised if this was fairly common practice in AAA, to watch playtesters/focus testers closely while they play and tune the game based on their reactions.
