Phasmophobia devs accused of "housing a sex pest" on its Discord server - Eurogamer.net
Kinetic Games - the indie team behind massive ghost hunting sim Phasmophobia - has been accused of "housing a sex pest" on its official Discord server..
In a series of messages shared on Twitter, Dandy @ 6.2 – who clarifies that they are "not a victim in this" but is "speaking out for a friend who IS a victim who otherwise felt like she had no voice" – posts a number of incriminating messages that intimate that despite reporting him, the alleged "sex pest" known as Charcoal Salamander had yet to be stripped of his "admin" role on the server.."So who else knew that the Phasmophobia devs are housing a sex pest in their official discord by keeping him admin and refusing to take any claims against him seriously because I sure do now," tweeted Dandy @ 6.2..So who else knew that the phasmophobia devs are housing a sex pest in their official discord by keeping him admin and refusing to take any claims against him seriously bc I sure do now :).Allegations against the admin Charcoal Salamander include sharing nudes of others in the Discord channel and racist jokes.
Eventually, when the posts went viral and pressure mounted, Charcoal Salamander was stripped of his admin role and banned from the server."Recently we received some news about one of our Discord admins regarding sharing sensitive imagery and racist comments.After assessing the evidence we have removed that admin completely from the Discord team and he will not be rejoining," cjdxn later said in a statement posted 1st October.
As seen in the shared DMs I explicitly say "I don't agree" with said acts, and I do not condone racism or sharing images of any kind?
I never have, or will, support the sharing of private pictures, and I'm truly sorry that what I said could have been interpreted differently.
