Jack Thompson tells me to rape a child: Advocating molestation is not cool
17 March 2008This post brought to you by Destructoid.
Jack Thompson is my best friend in the whole wide world. I know some of you don’t like the guy and are sick of hearing of him, so by all means go read one of our many other stories, but for those of you who love our notorious Destructoid community member, you may be shocked to learn that he encouraged me to molest a child in our last correspondence.
Excited over the score for freedom that was Manhunt 2′s unbanning in the UK, I shared my joy with Mr. Thompson. As a believer in American justice, I thought he might share my satisfaction that freedom of choice had been granted in my home country. He didn’t seem too fond of the idea, though.
After first trying to claim that the game had never been banned, he answered my correction by suggesting that I molest children and accused me of doing so indirectly through Rockstar. Apparently, supporting the rights of a company to release entertainment that meets legal rating criteria means you want to interfere with minors inappropriately.
I don’t know, telling me to molest children, heavily implying that I am indeed somebody who enjoys such activity … do you think I have grounds for a libel suit here? Those are some pretty serious allegations, so I ask the Destructoid community for legal advice concerning Thompson’s words. After the jump, you can read the full transcription and decide for yourselves. I reckon we have a case though.
