Current Events > apparently Kotaku is being targeted next in the neogaf sexual harassment story.

(+) Yeah! (+)

the plot thickens.

people accusing Jason Schreier (editor in Chief for Kotaku) of ignoring frequent requests to question Tyler malka about the "Spain incident" in which he groped a woman at a bar.

People are up in arms because Kotaku was always seen as "being in bed" with neogaf. Now it has come to light that Jason actually knew about the Spain incident but turned a blind eye to it.

the #metoo campaign is supposed to promote awareness and get victims to speak up.

Prism has always been a bad person.

He already spoke about this.

And, since I know someone will ask, Ive seen Gamergate cretins accusing me of wanting to protect Malka because we had him on Kotaku for an AMA a couple of years ago and I didnt pay close attention to the comments, many of which brought up the Spain post and other allegations. Earlier today I went back and checked my history and found that back then there was a brigade post on the vile, racist website NeoFAG. From what I remember, I assumed those were horrible people just trying to get a rise out of Malka and Kotaku. (Theres also a lot of misunderstanding floating around about the way Kotaku comments work during an AMA, the person answering questions is the one who filters and answers them. We dont force people to answer questions they dont want to answer.)

Its a bit frustrating to see people accusing me of trying to protect Malka when Ive spent half my weekend on this story, while traveling to and from Las Vegas for a book festival at that. (I just helped edit this article from the airport and am actually on the plane right now.) Needless to say, I did not and would never try to cover up anything like this.

As always, anyone with information or stories to share is welcome to reach out. Cecilia and I will continue to follow these allegations and any other that pop up.

Just typical GamerGoobers being disingenuous as usual.

And? The story of him bragging about grabbing an ass in Spain was posted by EviLore himself.

Kotaku being taken down would be so delicious

If Jason wanted to shut people up he should step away from looking into it, hand the story over to one of his coworkers. Him potentially being attached while reporting on it just looks bad.

Well the article on the situation was written by a Woman yet he's still lingering around the entire thing like he's hiding behind her. It's very strange.

You mean we could potentially lose GAF and Kotaku in the span of a week?

What have we done as humanity to be bestowed of such glorious blessings?

Because people are accusing him of covering up EviLore's post. Because the site stopped questions from being asked about it on an AMA. (Even though sites like Reddit would do the same exact thing).

Even though that post has been spread around for years. What Kotaku did doesn't change anything. It wasn't a story until recently. It's like expecting Jimmy Fallon to ban Trump because of his comments about sexual harassment.
