I don't even go on Miiverse that very often, or at all for that matter, but playing Splatoon and noticing things that just shouldn't be seen when I'm not even playing the core of the game... It's just no good.

This links you to a topic about Miiverse and the immaturity and wrong morals. About Splatoon, Nintendo can't even trust us with voice chat and this is the reason! Miiverse (after dark) gets creepy and turns 4Chan. People in the Nintendo community need to clean themselves up. It's not something Nintendo needs.
"Some Splatoon players are worried that if the community can’t keep things clean, Splatoon’s Miiverse integration will end up like Swapnote—a service that Nintendo sunsetted after it was allegedly used by a sexual predator targeting children."
What's your thought on this? Is it obvious? A disgusted "Response"?

i've seen some suggestive things, but nothing extreme (this was one: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKFHXz2Nyg ) i do hope it does't get worse though. miiverse has a mixed community overall (there is twitter profiles and everything dedicated to bad posts) but i've seen good splatoon drawing as well, and i'd hate for the feature to be disabled

That's the issue with online communication...everyone gets a forum and there are a ton of immature people that think hatred, sexual innuendo and potty jokes should be vomited out of their mouths (or brains) ad nauseam. It is cool to be an ill mannered jerk nowadays. However there is at least the ability to report posts. That's what I do.

The sad part is that there are many people that use the feature as intended and often a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

Everytime I've gone seen Miiverse posts in the game it's normally pics of SpongeBob squid, foreign writing or pics of inklings/squids of the game. I've yet to come across anything "dark".

It's ridiculous to compare the two - Swapnote was closed because real-life paedophiles were targeting kids, trying to get their phone numbers and stuff. These are just silly, childish drawings. Kids who are old enough to get the joke have probably already seen much worse on television, youtube or on other games.

1. It is an game. They/you can say whatever you want to say.
2. As with PSO ( remember that game ) people needs to grow up.
3. So what
4. It is the internet.
5. I am not an woman. "Sticks and stones might break my bones" but "words are not actions, so they will never hurt me".

6. Again I am not an woman, I am not an girl, I am not an gal. Grow-up ladies, words are for babies and cowards. If your an boy/man/guy etc and have issues about this. Grow-up okay because that is what things are like playing outside. For videogames to be consider equal to sports people need to stop whining about words and images.

I mean seriously if parents did not want kids to see this stuff they should have not brought the thing to begin with.

Oddly enough, the only way I know about this type of stuff is when other people post about it. Most time when I surf through Miiverse, it's pretty tamed. Then again I don't go to overly popular boards with 2 post per minute like Smash and the main Pokemon series. I also haven't checked out the Splatoon board yet since I haven't finish the story mode and I fear I might see something that will spoil it since half the posters don't know how to use tags.

A dying animal struggles, thrashes and howls in protest as its life torn from it. To see this in action, watch Animal Planet. The same thing happens when a video game is or isn't released. To see this in action, stay here.

@SuperWiiU - Ha. Yeah, but I didn't know where else to get reference.
@RegalSin - Splatoon is a shooting game and mind you, "For Kids." And nobody is saying anything. But visually showing something Nintendo doesn't need to known for, to everyone. This isn't about growing up or being male/female (And where you were going with that I felt was inappropriate). This is about morals.

Parent's don't even know what goes down under, so you can't really say anything about them. Not even we could see this coming for the least.You can't deny that internet rule exists, but you can tell them to "Grow-Up" themselves.

Report and move on. Mods are quick (eerily quick) at removing content. Miiverse is by far the most strict social community out there. That Kotaku is just sensationalized and represents less than 1% of the posts that get pushed to the game channels.

KO-Cub, I feel you've been duped or influenced by an article. Don't believe everything that's printed on the internet, especially from Kotaku. They're sensationalists when it comes to this stuff and they suckered you into the click. Claiming it gets all 4chan after dark is again, stretching this narrative.

I've only ever seen Squidward posts or "Kid/Squid" posts through Miiverse on Splatoon.

Never seen a sexualized post. Never seen anything raunchy. Never seen anything like the Isabelle one in the article (even on normal Miiverse).

I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite

I'm on YouTube.

I don't know what to say about this.

Just a quick shout out do not post any questionable Miiverse images directly in this thread, if you do the thread will get locked and either a warning or ban will be issued. As long as the discussion remains tame it should be fine to continue unless another mod chooses otherwise.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the internet. This is a given that's going to happen and doesn't even deserve a thread as if this is some sort of shock.
