Are Tampax ads really Gaia-approporate?

[ThisEmptySoul]

Well, the post I made was before then. I didn't know they were going to have a tampax npc. They should rethink the name of that dress. It sounds like it's made of tampons.

I'd say that now that they have a Gaia Tampax NPC, who gives out the Tampax Flowing Dress (cute dress, but the name... ewww), it has nothing to do with what they can't control.

Couldn't they have picked a better name? XD

i suppose i don't see anything wrong with it as long as they do it tastefully as opposed to doing it Redneck, or hustler style.

there are alot of teens on the site and advertising to teens like that not only gets buisness for the company but it also promotes healthy hygene habits

God, that was tasteless. That name is horrible.

OMFG!

Complaining that Periods are "R" rated, which I extrapolate from the complaint that they are not PG-13 material, is silly!

Remember that MOST girls, yes not all, but most girls, already have their period BY THE TIME THEY REACH 13, therefore -

PERIODS ARE PG MATERIAL!

Geezers tend to get lost in OVER PROTECTING.

Nowadays, a great percentage of 13 yo's have played their "V" card

And

Know more about sex than US GEEZERS will ever know.

When was the last time YOU had sex just for the fun of it!

Tampax NPC, wtf!? Gaia hit a new low with this. Why don't they have a Condom NPC or a Birth Control NPC?!!!

But anyway, I remember I donated to Gaia, I saw special ads for MCs and stuff.  

[Vivid Fizz]

I don't see how Tampon ads are on the same level as condom or BC adds. Like I've said before, the name of the dress may be tacky, but periods are not sexual, they don't spam, they don't troll; they happen to most preteens and teenage girls at some point, and shows directed at teenagers will reference having a period. They are most certainly PG-13.

I don't understand why people keep relating tampons to condoms. They're completely different and unrelated things.  

[QuietStorm XII]

Wow, they're only tampons people. Its not like they're showing a step-by-step on how to use them. Besides, I doubt tampon ads are the gateway to sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll ( i.e. condoms, birth control, etc...).

I'd love to know the nationalities of everyone freaking out about tampon adds...  

[ThisEmptySoul]

Well, if you read the responses instead of just the title and the first post, you'll notice that there are actually very few people in this thread "freaking out" over tampons. Most people have responded that they don't think it's a big deal.

I read the whole thread, including the tangent about sex and suggesting abstinence (which is such an American way of trying to solve the problem).

There's more than enough getting in a flap about tampons, it's not like I said that everyone was freaking out, only that I wondered what the nationalities of those freaking out were.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. Keep in mind, abstinence is also a religious thing and is therefore not exclusive to one country.

I also don't see why the nationality of the people objecting to tampon ads is of any concern to you... unless of course you just want to use it as a reason to talk badly of their country or countries.
