Wardrox's Collection of Thoughts

I'm John Kershaw, mostly known as being responsible for Nukezilla. Coffee, videogames, feminism, roller derby (I skate for Manchester Roller Derby, my derby name is Sausage Roller. Good, isn't it?), writing and other fairly nerd-related things all float my boat. This Tumblr blog is a collection of things of interest to me.

Newsweek responded to my rant

For me the issue was much less about whether you should publish the pictures, and more if you should give the reader the option to see them. I had no such choice when The Atlantic, Newsweek and The Guardian pushed the images out online yesterday.

If the Guardian, or any trusted publication, say that there is a picture of a dead guy, I’m happy to take their word for it. If they let me click a link and see for myself, I’m happy not to call their bluff.

If you check the “notes” of the story there’s some interesting people responding with a range of views.

Edit: The Atlantic also responded.
