It says that upon the allegations being freshly re-surfaced with these new screencaps it began an investigation in conjunction with its Discord admins. It issued a statement on Saturday saying that "we would like to apologise for the way we have handled the situation, keeping the admin on as long as we did and for the slow response, he should have been removed from his position and banned sooner." The controversy reached such a pitch that Kinetic Games belatedly realised it had made a mistake in its handling of this situation. To be absolutely clear about where we are at this point: people believe Charcoal should be stripped of their responsibilities and banned for these alleged past acts people are further incensed by developer CJ's comments, which are widely seen as downplaying the allegations and representing some unpleasant strain of 'bro' culture. When CJ's comments were made public it triggered a community explosion, with no shortage of people condemning the developer's response.
Lord knows that the internet and wider society has issues with this stuff, but it's not normal and never 'fair game' to share nude pictures without consent: it is a criminal act under various pieces of UK legislation, and can be described as revenge porn. Phrases such as "fair game imo" in the context of sharing nude pictures should have anyone with a bit of decency cringing, and is probably as bad as responses get. I dont agree with it, but its not punishable as in removing them from the team. So if he wanted to give them to a mate thats fair game imo. In DMs that were later made public, the developer writes: "The whole sharing nudes thing, he's explicitly said he didn't ask for them, she sent them anyway at own risk. CJ's responses to this reddit account's concerns about Charcoal were not good.
