A sexual conversation that only 1 party agrees to is certainly harassment.
This isn't a case of a regular relationship being blown out on internet, it's a minor celebrity using his status to get sex from his fans.
Some people are just better off not talking
Any one of the opposite sex unless it's about business.
If you are interested in him and he is interested in you, then go ahead and make a "move" yourself. Depending what the move is. And I say this to you too, don't try to defend his behaviour just because ONE of the people has sent sexy pictures to him. That's not relevant. And that person also said that she was "starstruck" by Robinson, so you can drop that "he ain't Justin Bieber" stuff too.I'd send you a picture of my tits because I'm not as repressed but I think that, unlike the content of this thread, is actual sexual harassment.
Lately I'm so confused when I see a guy who's clearly interested but never makes a move. Making the first move is not harassment. Repeatedly badgering someone, sure, but a shitty pickup line or flirting with a girl who already sent you pictures is not harassment.
You're missing the point so much that I have to assume you're doing it on purpose
This is not about the one conversation in which he solicited nudes and received them, its about the multiple, multiple times he did so to colleagues, industry professionals, and fans where they were not comfortable and did not reciprocate
Also the one instance we have of someone consenting is from a barely of age fan and the entire situation looks to be predatory and manipulative
This isn't Nick having romantic relationships with people, this is Nick specifically engaging women for no other reason than to use them sexually, women in and around games who may be impressed and/or intimidated by his position within it.
It's blatant harassment, and if you can't see that it's because you're choosing not to.
He's not keeping his job
Maybe in any other field (sadly) but games, specifically games media, are desperately trying to get away from this sort of thing. Keeping someone like that on board while trying to maintain an air of progress/forward thinking is absurdly counterproductive
Really, really disappointing Nick. Enjoyed his stuff since Rev3, followed on Twitter and such and this is just an awful bummer. The kind of slimy predatory shit I'd expect from a sleazy Myspace scene band
This has happened multiply time involving "famous" youtubers asking fans for nudes. I know one guy recently was sent to jail for asking 14 year olds.
I'm not saying this is what is happening with nick but I bet this stuff is happens waaaay more then people think.
I'm still confused how we're reading a job at Polygon as a position of power. That's like flashing your internship at 22Cans.
And engaging women for no other reason than to use them sexually? Did we suddenly travel back in time 10 years to when nobody was allowed to admit to sleeping around?
Again, why are you even bringing this up? No one asked you for this.
There's that, but companies also have cultures and values. Do you think his coworkers will still feel comfortable with him around?

Of course not.
I'm reacting in general to people bringing up Polygon/Vox's progressive culture as a reason why Nick would be terminated. And I worry, and in no way think you implied this, that there are people out there that think that if they operate mostly in a conservative/right wing environment that they don't have to confront the same repercussions for similar behavior.

You might be less confused if you read the dozens of posts in the thread that explain it.I'm still confused how we're reading a job at Polygon as a position of power. That's like flashing your internship at 22Cans.
Because men in this thread keep trying to mansplain to me that I can't be a woman because real women agree with them.
Within my company (government financial consulting), he would've been terminated 24 hours ago without our HR department breaking a sweat.
A consensual romantic/sexual conversation is not harassment either. I think some women may know that and some women under a certain age may not.
Regardless or not this is more common than it should be.
Doing that is shitty enough, on underage people is even worse.
Ask Anthony Wiener how well that went for him.

Giving credit where credit is due, at least this poster has old posts from 2014/2015. Why this thread broke the two years of silence is anyone's guess.Are you Vivian James?
