I know they're insensitive and tacky, but I have to admit that a part of me misses when games ads were off the walls like this.

It's the classic your gf wants kinky sex but you'd rather play Gameboy LIKE A NERD, NERD

GameBoy Pocket

Yeah, but aren't his hands crazy large?

It's an ad for the Gameboy Pocket.

Hands made for spanking.

It looks that way because he is holding the Game Boy Pocket and not the OG Game Boy

there was a super Gameboy?

It plugged into the SNES so you could play GB games on the TV

It offered color for GB games before the GameBoy Color existed! 😃

Pretty sad what the wokesters have done to society.

Being woke remains a good thing.

It means being aware of societal challenges that exist and the historical context in which we live.

The alternative is to bury ones head in the sand and say, "Everything is okay, question nothing."

I am thankful I am not simple enough to fall for the new monthly conservative slur in attempt to supress social awareness and change. It's coming. The slurs are a silly game for the simple minded.

Every month they choose a new acronym to be afraid of.

Please don’t be afraid if I say “DEI” or “ESG”. I forget which one scares you guys the most at the moment.

I'm not afraid. You don't like me?

You're afraid of ~~being woke~~ having empathy

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago
