A fun simulation game where you mess with people's lives · By Ellpeck

Ellpeck should create a separate social media profile for his professional life

I don't think it's appropriate to have photos of yourself in your underwear where your bulge is visible saying "feeling cute" when you're developing a family friendly game. There's also a number of men interacting with you on instagram who have a fetish for contortionist, underwear and bulges. This creates an unsafe environment for those who might follow you because they like your game does it not? Why link your instagram on your professional pages if stuff like this can easily be seen? Shouldn't the two be separated because I have never seen another developer do things like that on their socials. Some thought should be put into creating this brand of yours and some effort should be made to separate your private life from your professional life. I'm sorry but it's a little weird. This has nothing to do with the pronoun issue that people are uptight about, I'm a gay male and I know very well what I'm looking at.

Hi! Thanks so much for expressing concern about this.

My Instagram and Twitter accounts are not related to my professional pages. My personal website is my personal website, and my personal social media accounts are just that.

My website contains some blog posts with potentially mature content, which contain a warning to that effect right at the top. You’re correct that the social media section doesn’t explicitly mention that some sites may contain mature content, though - that’s definitely something that would be worth adding! (Edit: Following your feedback, I’ve added a disclaimer to this section of the website as well.)

I don’t post anything inappropriate (or “not safe for work”) on Instagram. If you consider a photo of someone in underwear inappropriate, you probably shouldn’t visit a public swimming pool. I also don’t oversee who follows me on that account, because it’s set to public which means that anyone who wants to can follow.

I have a big disclaimer on my Twitter bio, because I sometimes post things involving mature content there, and the account is linked on Tiny Life’s Twitter.

The Discord server’s nsfw channel is also deliberately designed in a way that makes it hidden for people who haven’t given themselves the nsfw role. This step comes in addition to Discord’s built-in nsfw channel warning.

Feel free to let me know if you have any more concerns!
