I started this in News Of the Weird (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=47417), it turned into a rant, and ended up here.So I'm playing this game on my phone tapping blocks, mindless mental masturbation if you please, and there are ads between EVERY SINGLE LEVEL.
I switch to cryptograms and not only are their ads between levels, but now they are just randomly inserted while I'm trying to do the puzzle.
Most of the ads are for gambling sites, but a substantial portion are snippets of werewolf stories. Alpha Males, his forbidden Luna, that sort of thing.
And these suckers are violent. Just in the small advertised paragraphs they are romanticizing horribly abusive behavior.
Stuff that never would be tolerated in the BDSM community. Stalking, breaking bones, serial killer type stuff.
The males are controlling and threatening and violent, and the females dependent and submissive. Is this what the straights think is romantic? Are young girls reading stories like this for relationship goals? I shudder to think what an abusive man could get away with with a woman who reads this kind of romance novel. I hope young
(not young?) people reading this garbage
(or better yet, read something else for your sexual needs?!) can keep this behavior in the realm of fantasy and not let abusers get away with this shit in real life.
I know how they got swept up in Twilight, people are still sucking each other's blood.
I guess every generation has it's own toxic iconic romances, I just hope this isn't it.
