I was playing Super Stylist for some turds and giggles. Then I saw this ad. It sends such a bad message to young and impressionable girls.

Honestly this feels as though it would go against their own guidelines. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Guidelines don’t exist for episode ads apparently :upside_down_face:

They definitely don’t as long as it makes money it doesn’t matter. They will break guidelines for their own gain but if a small author had a small breach of guidelines then the story is most likely taken down.

The ads are just…not always an accurate representation of the game. There are plenty of user stories that read like novels without toeing the guidelines.

Ads like this is why people who don’t read community stories have such a cringy impression of episode

Wtf, Episode… 🤦🏽 This is what you like to promote? Clickbait, cringey, inappropriate ads? You’re only scaring away mobile gamers, and it’s not cool. How about promoting ads that don’t involve romance, s*x, or incest, like fantasy? People love seeing a character show off their magical powers—anything other than this “drop it like it’s not” crap. (Yes, I said not because this is NOT hot at all.)

It’s such a horrible image. I swear the ad literally looks like a p*rn game. Some other ads too really gave me uncomfortable vibes.

You say this like any of their ads ever really had potential :joy:, this is almost a thirst trap for creeps to get more readers. :nauseated_face: I am glad I never saw these ads before downloading or I would have never done so.
