Jade Raymond VS. SomethingAwful (Round 1) - Nov 18, 2007 16:04
Someone ' ain' t too happy with Something Awful


Assassin' s Creed Ubisoft Threatens Something Awful Over Jade Comic
Head goon at Something Awful, Richard " Lowtax" Kyanka, has been contacted by the legal representation of Ubisoft over the posting of an " extremely offensive pornographic image" of Assassin' s Creed producer Jade Raymond on the site' s popular forums. The image, which has since been pulled from multiple hosts, including the one referenced in the letter to Kyanka, depicts a cartoon character named Jade fellating a trio of gamers and... well, it just gets worse from there. The legal thread cites the linking of a " blatant, vile, and unauthorized misappropriation of Ms. Raymond' s name and likeness" that has " caused immeasurable harm to Ms. Raymond' s reputation and career, and constitute an egregious infringement of Ms. Raymond' s personal rights and privacy rights."

Lowtax responded in the expected Something Awful fashion, posting " I don' t know where this image is located, I do not know who drew it, and the only vague connection to this site is because somebody posted a link to it on these forums." His full response to Ubisoft' s legal council is worth the read.

As I said, the comic seems to have been removed from its previous hosts, but those expecting something worthwhile should look elsewhere.

In the meantime, I' m deleting all known copies of my Patrice Desilets erotic fanfic comics, just in case. It' s a shame, as I really thought the beard turned out perfect

It pains me to say it, but Something Awful seems to be in the right on this one.

Edit: Just caught the comic. It' s nowhere near as offensive as it' s made out to be. I mean, yeah, if I were Jade Raymond I' d be a little miffed, but it' s not mindless sexuality either. They were making a point with it.

I won' t post it here, a quick jaunt on Google will find it though.
