I read something on reddit saying that neil druckman having his employees watch snuff/gore videos was A-OK because they had the right to refuse Which i would get that, but one has the consider the fact that given his seat of power, most of them would probably feel awfully pressured not to refuse
theres also the possibility of the 'right to refuse' was just a formality, and that he could have coerced his employees to do it anyways
thats not even getting into the psychological rammifications of this, which druckman probably shielded himself with a mixture of a NDA (iirc i dont think we ever heard the snuff thing was legit, officially) and liability waiver. Law Enforcement who has to go through videos showcasing sexual abuse/snuff and whatnot usually have to go into therapy after six months (or weeks, i cant honestly remember which) and these are people trained in dealing with such matters, not shut-in programmers keep to tight nit social circles
So i doubt if anything happens as a result to the snuff shit, if it were true, i dont think they'd be getting anyhelp from naughtydog
unlike the Law Enforcement officers do
Now, someone might point out that one of my statements are fairly callous against Druckman, as i dont truly know him and he'd have no real reason to be that bad. My counterpoint to that would be that druckman, atleast in the words of some reviews from a few more prominent sources, wants to spin the narrative of how he views people, fully self absorbed and barely civilized, i feel it would only be fitting to few him in that exact light, as for the why? Money and pride, simply enough
