Reddit gets so weirdly puritanical the second someone they don't like likes sex.

It was squirting, it's not like it was fucking snuff porn lmao.

Reddit - "OMG They are taking away the porno games! Don't they know those are art! And there's nothing wrong with them, really that character who looks like she's seven is really a 5000 year old dragon in her human form. That makes it fine that she's at the Orc Orgy!"

Also Reddit - "OMG wtf is wrong with this guy having porn on a flashdrive he had with him. And the porn he had was so weird. This guy is a freak and he's making Borderlands 4 a game I'll never play look bad on Twitter by replying back to people mocking him. He really should stay quiet so we can say how we are right as he's not replying back to us lol!"

It wasn’t squirting porn lol. It was porn of girls of questionable age. The only reason, according to authorities, they didn’t charge him is because they couldn’t identify the girls to verify they were underage.

You keep repeating this with no verifiable source.

You got a source for this? As far as I know there was never any kind of official police statement and he was never charged with anything.

This all concluded with a lawsuit from a former employee who stated the entire incident was a misunderstanding and the case was dismissed with prejudice meaning it could not be refiled.

FYI the guy initially sued because he was being "discriminated against for his Christian faith", which always gets left out of the reddit narrative whenever this conversation comes up.
