    Why don’t companies have someone in product development who’s entire job is to point out less than desirable ways people will use their products, or protect against rule 34 or the like? The internet has been around long enough that it shouldn’t have been a surprise that there were people who wanted to fuck a plastic lamprey eel. How as this even surprising?

      Because that employee would be by far the most overworked one in most companies?

      Or maybe just because most companies don’t care as long as you keep giving them money without costing them any 🤷
