Nintendo Has The Best Reason For Why Pauline Is In Donkey Kong Bananza

Pauline, the original damsel in distress from Donkey Kong, is making a return to the DK universe in the Switch 2's Donkey Kong Bananza, now as a kid.
Developers explained that Pauline's inclusion in the game stemmed from design ideas flowing naturally at Nintendo, rather than adhering to lore.

Reports indicate a massive uptick in AI-generated CSAM throughout the internet

Reports indicate a significant increase in AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on the internet, with organizations like the Internet Watch Foundation and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children raising alarms.
The Internet Watch Foundation has identified 1,286 AI-generated videos in 2025, a substantial rise from just two videos in 2024. Similarly, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children received 485,000 reports of AI-generated CSAM in the first half of 2025, up from 67,000 in all of 2024.
