About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6356 DaysThe above link has an insane story to tell.
The image in question can be found on a popular forum.
Personally, I think Jade should not be upset. She's a celebrity, and this isn't nearly as bad as the kind of stuff "real" celebrities endure.
And it's just a cartoon. And what is the point of UBISOFT trying to sue the forum in question?
What happens if people turn around and start posting that image on tons and tons of forums and public web albums all over the net? Worse, what if more and more show up out of spite?
Isn't making a big deal out of this just giving the image that much more exposure? Won't this have the exact opposite effect of what she wants to achieve?
Shouldn't she just giggle this away? Or find some way to make money from it?
Since 6375 Daysi think ubi's a bit over the top if they want to sue
im not defending the image, its stupid and not funny, but its freedom of (a rather lifeless persons')speech. and whats differant between this and all the other photoshopped images of game covers out there? because shes a girl she should get special treatment?
i didnt even think it was that offensive, if it were done to me, id just be like 'meh...well somebody has no life... ok moving on'
yeah, she should giggle it off. imo

Since 6856 DaysSaying you cant find animaton in Japan is like saying you cant find food in Italy
Since 6375 Daysnevermind, the thing i commented on isnt actually the thing everyones talking about lol... well im searching but i cant find it anywhere... oh well i give up.
im sure its not that bad though
if i was a game producer and people were making fun of me id think it was really awesome lol
btw, isnt this thread just helping to spread the publicity?
Since 6935 DaysIt isn't necessarily just that the cartoon is about jade, but how it portrays her.

Don't ask any questions just shut up and buy Halo : Ghosts of the Onyx one of the greatest books ever.
pssh! more like electronic gay-ming monthly! amirite
Since 6356 DaysNobody ever said it being a cartoon was an excuse. But at least it's just a cartoon.
I also don't believe it's a matter of whether she should put up with this or not, it's a matter of dealing with it like an adult or crying like a child about it. It's not up to her whether or not she has to deal with it. The internet has already decided that for her.
She's going to deal with it. How she deals with it is what matters. If she handles this the wrong way I'm willing to bet the next image we see will be a photoshop of one of her publicity shots with a big frack in her mouth.
Other people have had the same thing done to them, and it's been proven time and time again that the harder you push to silence something the louder and louder it gets.
Celebrity has a price - I say she needs to get over it.
However the image has already been rehosted god knows how many times.
And it may be nice of UBISOFT, but it's also a wasteful claim that won't go anywhere.
I think we should also remember that she consented to having herself whored out as pretty face behind AC. Can she really act like she wasn't aware of the effect her image might have on horny video gamers everywhere?
Since 7073 Daysa) They are chasing the wrong people, SomethingAwful was not responsible for the creation of the image merely reposting it in a forum.
b) They didn't take into account the MILLIONS of fake pornographic images of far bigger celebrities readily available.
c) They totally fucked up by trying to stop SomethingAwful from doing something they legally are allowed to do. SA thrives on ridiculous threats like this, especially when they have little or no grounds in reality.
d) Ubi are apparently being massive dicks about AC and Jade Raymond in general if the Eurogamer advertising debacle is to be believed.
Since 6984 DaysEDIT: Ooh its one of them naked photo shopped photos, wow, who gives a damn for one? There are tons of them everywhere, I'd bet my house there are tons of every near hot female celeb in the world, you don't see them getting their panties in a legal twist over it, wow, thats kind of taking it a bit to far.....
Since 7014 DaysShe isn't a celebrity. She is a developer. Her job isn't even very high profile outside of talking and occassionaly demoing her product.
She is only a celebrity in the minds of adolescent peons who get off on the idea that, shock, a pretty woman may actually work on computers and, gasp, make games. If she was a director of, say, Microsoft Word development (even more high profile) young twits and men living in their mother's basement wouldn't be fawning over the poor lady.
It has to do with the immaturity of the gaming public that they are so shallow to believe a woman in the industry is some sort of celebrity. :|
Btw, there have been a number of recent cases in the US where people are actively being prosecuted for harrassment for using the internet to cause 'harm' to others through media as discussed in this thread.

Since 7021 DaysWhat was done to her constitute as harrassment and public humiliation. She did the right thing by showing that she isn't going to shy away from this simply because its on the internet.
And please stop likening her to some shallow hollywood celebrity. Those bimbos crave that kind of coverage. Jade Raymond does not. Some of the comments here are so disappointing and, as acert has mentioned highlights, the immaturity of the gaming public.
Since 7165 DaysThere's tons of that. Should Billgates sue for this?

It is disrespectful, maybe not as bad, but it's the same thing.
Mods, stop changing my SIG! I'm going to end up banning you!
Since 7021 DaysAt this rate, people can just take a photo of your girlfriends and wives and make lewd images over them and splatter them all over the internet. And you can't complain because its 'normal' in the internet to do such a thing.
Since 7165 DaysMods, stop changing my SIG! I'm going to end up banning you!
Since 7021 DaysAs for the site, they should have deleted the image as quickly as possible and made their stand clear, that they do not support these kinds of defamation.
Since 7066 DaysI can't really give you an objective opinion of whether or not Ubi are doing the right thing here. I just think this thing is sad. For reasons mentioned, and a bunch of obvious unmentioned ones.
Since 6648 Days
Since 7066 DaysIt doesn't stop with just depicting her as a whore, it casually discredits her work and character in every concievable way.
Last time I checked, baseless slander wasn't allowed on the net or anywhere else, and this is nothing short of it.
