As soon as someone mentions “ephebophilia” I know I can safely disregard anything else that comes out of their mouth.

I was too young to really know who he was when I was a kid, though my mother always said ‘he’s a bit weird’ whenever he was mentioned or shown on telly before he died.

I think for my generation tho the biggest ‘I knew it!’ was Rolf Harris. He always creeped the fuck out of me as a child.

I really hate judging on…

Altogether now, middle-aged creepy uncles on reddit:

It’s Jimmy Savile. He was a well-known children’s entertainer in the UK from the 70s onwards who died a few years back. Despite rumours for years about paedophilia no charges were ever brought and when he died the BBC put on a load of stuff celebrating his work as he was seen as a national hero through his charity…

Person in a privileged position in a community whose fanbase is mainly kids decides to take advantage and abuse them.

Uhm, what game did you play? The MGSV that I played was amazing on both fronts...

looks like a game about poking people with sticks and some jump roping occasionally.

I’ve never seen an MMO anime, yet as someone who’s put in over 55 hours playing healers in Overwatch this still rings true based simply on the personality Blizzard’s given those characters.

I never knew this was a fetish until I read this. I probably have this fetish. My life feels more enriched now.

It’s crazy how people are so opposed to an innocent little fetish. I guess this is Kotaku after all so the demographic is a little... off.

I thought this article was super interesting and I think it's great that people can satisfy their needs using videogames and a little imagination. I can't say the same things about this comment section though...

ah, into the euro scene then?

As someone who dutifully plays as a healer in lots of different multiplayer games, I’m honestly rather surprised that people are eroticizing it. I’ve wanted to put a leash on people I’ve healed sometimes, but in order to keep them from constantly running blindly into near-certain death, not because of a kink.

In Overwatch a “tank” is a protective, frontline character soaking up lots of damage and the “support” keeps everyone’s health bar full. With a little bit of imagination those roles can be loaded with plenty of kinky symbolism.

Did...that actually air in an episode of pokemon?!
