Misogynistic ads need to go, EA
This ad, shown in The Sims Mobile, used to say ‘virgin’ the other day, and was changed to ‘pure girl’ when I last saw it. This entire ad is degrading, and it is not the only one. If the screening pro...
So many of the ads in this game are just plain creepy, and yet there's no easy way to report them. I've seen a lot of complaints on here and other forums about how uncomfortable they're making people. When it gets to the point players are flipping their phones over to not watch them, that's a problem.
@zeeoddballYeah, I’ve definitely had to do that before, when the ad is just so blatantly offensive that I can’t bear to watch it.
I really wish there was a simple “Report Ad” icon that we could tap to easily report inappropriate ads. There are some events where we just seem inundated by these unwanted ads.
And now we have a new one for some game called Romance Fate, and it even includes fat shaming. How charming.
Seriously need a report button.
All ad content should be reviewed responsibly by EA’s own ad management/PR team and not the end users who by good chance are minors of age only here to play this cute, virtual dollhouse.
Even if optional to watch, the game’s rewarding system does encourage players to play the advertisements.
It’s a disturbing thought that EA would earn money from uncontrolledly displaying distorted, disgusting, inappropriate contents in the form of advertisements in children’s seemingly innocent game.
I have seen prostata medication, incontinency medication, male chauvinistic (man cheats on woman, woman with child gets kicked out; get a girl to be liked by matching someone else’s expectations), sexist (arrested pro—ute offers o— s— in order to escape the interrogator) game advertisements just to mention a few regardless of location (VPN).
Please review the pool of ads responsibly, considering your target audience.
