How did you morph that logic into me not finding child porn reprehensible?

I'm working under the assumption that they werent aware of that website's history/policies regarding it so them naively doing an AMA there isn't as infuriating as them going there knowing that.

How are you under that impression when they literally prefaced the AMA by saying they were assured by moderators they'd keep the nasty stuff away?

I think I know who "THQNfabian" is, but I'm not sure about naming and shaming since I cannot guarantee it. But only 1 person I can find fits the bill and he is another social media focused guy and not a higher up this time.

So, a few things:

1. I am don't know who THQN_Fabian - Would like to know who this person is

2. To those who are saying people are over-reacting- I am going through the actual AMA (it's truly something else). The THQ people have been answering questions and sandwiched between the queries and their replies (setting aside the quality of responses themselves) are stuff like "DO YOU HATE NIGGERS? BECAUSE I DO.", "RESETERA ON SUICIDE WATCH GET FUCKED, NIGGERS" and myriad reference to "SJW", Nazi and lolis. Suffice it to say, these people from THQN can clearly ALL THESE and DESPITE that, ALL of THAT, they continued to engage with these people.

I earlier said that they made a massive error. Now, I think they are catastrophically apathetic at the least and stupid at best and sympathetic towards the ideals of 8chan board members if not covertly bigoted at worst.

So, knowing these, if you still think or feel that people here are "Overreacting" you can kindly get the fucked.

I had no idea what half of this shit was or meant before this morning. Hoping I don't get in trouble at work for checking this thread on my lunch.

This is fucking disgusting stuff. Bye THQ.

well they could look at the front page

or the fact that they even know what 8ch is

i thought it was just /v/ on a new site up until 5 minutes ago, learned that it was much much worse

my dude, the top of the website when they posted the AMA was promoting a "lolis with dicks" board

like
even if you somehow ended up setting up all this magically not knowing what the site was for some reason, you'd certainly would be able to tell the shit this site is promoting and nope out on that moment

mark kern not-secretly sharing child porn on 8chan might be the least surprising thing I've heard this whole time frankly

I don't know this Kern but seems like a complete POS. Looking at his twitter bio is he still attached to Blizzard? or just living off his past

No, just no.

This is so wrong on so many levels that I'm not even able to formulate a better reaction than: NO! You fucked up tremendously.
After reading (most) of the ama thread it is even hard to believe you didn't know where you were going. The amount of bad decision making and stupidity involved here is breath taking.

My first visit to 8chan btw. I'm not even shocked or "triggered" as they might say. Some of them certainly think they are trolls or that they are funny because they are able to "trigger" the "left" by posting lolis in suggestive positions or racist pics. No, you are just childish at best, an asshole at worst and there are real pedophiles and racists hiding among you. They are using you and "free speech" as a shield to communicate with each other and to promote their agendas. It's so obvious how rotten that place is... I don't get it. I really don't. If you think posting on there is funny, I hope you manage to wake up at some point of your live and realize that you are being used like a sheep.

And to THQ: you are dead to me.

Yo stop engaging these weird ass defenders...

The details are out there and y'all stay "informing" them on shit they can read in the OP.

They keep "asking questions" about shit that has already been clarified or come off completely ignorant to the issue at hand for them to even try to hold an opinion on it.

Due to the extreme nature of the environment THQ decided to play in, you're more than likely interacting with an Alt, or an off-site poster/channer who's just taking the piss and fucking around with people.

You guys forget that ERA is a playground for alot of these types and there are few who actually do a good job to blend in while posting here and then go have a laugh back on their main trashbin site.

It's not even worth it. I know y'all can tell who's who. Especially in a thread like this.

What the everliving fuck. Well that's one way to ensure I never buy a game from them ever again.

It's pretty terrifying, though. How many other companies are secretly itching to court alt-right and pedophiles?

Have you seen some of the posts here?

You are posting in a 54 page thread. "Era isn't making a big deal out of this" is kind of a weird narrative.

By my count 3.

One of the offical THQN people participating in the AMA. Possibly the one who arranged the whole thing based off them being only one who commented on why they did it.

Also, maybe the person who did the original tweets? Purely speculation, but their comments are really similair.
Okay, I guess I might as well say it, but bring with it a disclaimer that this is not guaranteed.

95% sure this guy is Fabian Neubauer. He is their Junior Social Media Manager.

Ok, so how do you feel about the followings facts?
A. One of the first things you see when you go to the site was the following image and the "welcome" for the thread was someone saying heil hitler:


B. The people doing the AMA responded to slurs and the question "Where the big tiddy underage girls at.":
D0WZ7uTXQAAMi2U.jpg

D0WZ8NnWkAEvbTW.png


as well as blatant homophobia
mvs37nN.jpg


and a "promise" to not "appeal to the SocJust crowd"
D0WZ6PNXQAAjrKH.jpg

D0WZ7J-X4AUBjh9.png



C. A cursory google search, something that takes, not even 30 seconds. Shows that the website is blacklisted from google. A look at the wikipedia page. Which specifically notes the gamergate affiliation in the second paragraph on the page

and starts the Controversies tab with the child porn association

So I have two questions:
So at what point is your metric for grown ass men being aware of what website they associated with if this all happened because they were unaware of the crowd they were associating with?

What have they done to earn the benefit of the doubt?
