No? Welcome to gachas, don't even pretend girls don't want to be put on the wall by their daddies, there are plenty of thirsty traps with the dudes on TikTok.

These are games made to sell you waifus and husbandus, they are appealing by design. I recommend you to watch the newest Jane Doe trailer on the Zenless channel, this is the target demographic.

I highly recommend this video that explains gacha games and how they objectify women and sometimes men.

The absolute irony of clicking this link and being met by an ad for some gacha game featuring ample-chested anime characters

I haven't seen a youtube ad in years thanks to uBlock Origin and Firefox.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, me too, but I was on my phone

For that reason I just ditched the youtube app and use the mobile site instead. On Firefox mobile uBlock works as well.
