Honestly, it puts me off completely. I'm a woman and this is what gaming used to be: women are sluts. The ad isn't even trying to be clever or anything. Like wtf is this this trying to say?

Seriously, that is not the message this ad is putting out. It's about PlayStation being a drug, like ecstasy pills

Your right it's not clever but it's pretty clear it's nothing to do with woman being sluts.

You seriously can't see how this is sexualizing women?

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not the OP, but I for once can't. She's not sexualized in any way.

Remove the pills on her tongue and this is your typical porn-shoot picture. Lucky you I guess for not seeing that.
