In a game where you can literally get emotion'd to death (had a Sim get so embarrassed she crawled into a fettle position and f'ing died.), can watch children drown in the ocean and get poisoned by pufferfish, and of course my favorite, see just how easy it is to watch your entire family die in a house fire. The LAST thing I'd try to use to promote this game with is "It's a safe space everyone! Come one come all, if you have issues like depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts come play Sims 4! It'll make you magically feel better unless you see your Simself get horribly embarrassed in public that they literally die from embarrassment!"
This honestly has to be the most tone deaf ad I've seen in ages. They KNOW they have a subpar product that they've been half-baking by the lack of content, letting the older packs rot (Seriously, what's the point of getting Dine Out when every new pack bugs the living crap out of Dine Out and EA refuses to look back and try and fix it? Honestly at this point, Dine Out has been the biggest waste of $20 I've made in a long time.). But you know what? We can't say anything bad about Sims 4, because look at what they're doing! You can finally make the Transgender or Non-Binary Sim that said people have wanted to make for years! You can now make a real Muslim Sim without relying on mods! And on top of all that, look at how much this game is helping everyone! All these people with mental health issues, or people with depression, or bully victims or suicidal thoughts are now magically better because of the Sims! You'd have to be a real piece of human garbage to trash talk the Sims now! See what I just said? All of this is just being done to shield The Sims 4, Maxis and EA from any valid criticism!
That's right folks, this was all done to hide behind marginalized people while sticking their head out from behind them going "Na nana na boo boo!" and sticking out their tongues at you like the immature folk at EA are.
