Well, there goes the Claptrap for Smash petitions. Oh god, Tiny Tina. And with that the scrubbing of Borderlands from the collective psyche begins in earnest.
I downloaded The Pre-Sequel like two days ago. I'm deleting that shit now, lol.
I think people are more weirded out that he apparently told people about it, because people can be curious about all sorts of weird stuff, but usually you kept that to yourself.
By that language, even if there actually is a flash drive and the flash drive actually did contain pornography, the claim doesn't actually state that the alleged flash drive held child pornography, but rather "'underage' pornography".

Shit's wild. Incriminates his wife as well.
Yeah, I was about to post that the lawsuit language placed "underage" in quotes, rather that directly claiming that there was child porn, which left open the possibility of it being "Barely legal" porn that some dudes are fond of for whatever reason. Scummy maybe, but still not a criminal matter.
OK OK this took me 10 reads before I was rofl, bravo sir bravo
When the accusation is made that you left a USB drive with underage pornography at a Medieval Times and you're on record saying that you left a USB drive with pornography at a Medieval Times, that's pretty damn incriminating.
There's a broad genre of porn where the performers claim to be "barely legal" as in 18 years old and thus not legally children. Given the language of the lawsuit, where "underaged" was in quotes, and the wording of the Pitchford podcast interview, that was the porn that apparently actually existed on an apparently real flash drive. That is not, however, "child pornography" legally speaking.
Wait...I lold first time. I feel like I'm missing part of the joke now.
We have no idea when the podcast was actually recorded, just that it was released on the 22nd.
Telling all their business, sit in the court and be their own star witness
I don't necessarily want to defend Randy Pitchford of all people, but, yeah, even the "but she was barely 18!" folks have to realize that's the age almost all cam girls enter to get more attention -> views -> money. it does not mean they're even close to 18. pedophile? I doubt it. ironically, that's the kind of rhetoric that'll normalize paedophilia in the end.
