Kotaku, a popular editorial gaming website, issued an apology last week after it featured a piece on porn games. The piece displayed screencaps of popular porn games, including Pokemon, Zelda, and more.
The article, titled Animated Video Game Porn Could Be a Lot Sexier And Less Gross, was Katie Gray’s insertion into her “intersection of sex and games” series. But Gray’s use of graphic screencaps caused readers to revolt, resulting in an immediate Kotaku editor apology. In the apology, editor Stephen Totilo, said he’d been “thinking about the article all week.”
The apology certainly did not lack sap, something the blogosphere did not miss.
Kotaku’s apology was immediately lambasted by popular porn game site, Porngames.games.
“Hopefully, Kotaku readers can now heal these open wounds. Because, you know, I’m sure none of them have ever seen any pornographic images before. These saintly Kotaku readers can now move on with their lives, as can the publication and editors.”
Gray’s article did, in fact, feature a big bold text warning that some non-work-safe images were on the scrolling horizon. It seems many readers forbode the warning and scrolled on into the land of offended.
But porn games and comic porn are certainly beginning to find their way into the mainstream, whether or not Kotaku readers are OK with such things. It’s happening. Parodies on comic book and Hollywood movies and popular games are big business. Because, well, it sells and people love it.
Both comic porn sites and porn game sites are trending upwards. They allow for a unique, adult-oriented, erotic experience like no other. So none of this should serve to surprise anyone at all. And the porn game lambasting of Kotaku’s apology is certainly well deserved.
