Welcome to Gaia! ::


Lady Lunatic

Gaia Interactive, I know you're excited about Tentacl, and I know you want us to think of it as Gaia for big kids, but you are giving us an image and caption that heavily imply outright scream tentacle rape, and you put it on a website for kids 13+? Idgaf what you do on tentacl, but please keep the hentai off of Gaia. I find this ad disturbing on multiple levels.
Here is the ad in question. NSFW WARNING... srsly gaia what are you thinking

EDIT:: Yes, I do use adblock. The only reason I saw the ad was because I was on a mobile device. The point I was trying to make (aside from the ad being disgusting and misogynistic) was that we would be getting warnings if we tried to post pictures like that anywhere else on the site. It's hypocrisy on Gaia's end. I know that with ads like Evony they could play ignorant and say that they didn't know that they had those ads, but they can't do it this time because Gaia Interactive made the ad.

For those of you who don't understand the implications or are confused as to why people are so disgusted by this ad, look up "Tentacle Erotica" on wikipedia and learn. I am not providing a link because there is an image on that page that is against the TOS. Like this ad.

EDIT, June 3 -- It's been over 24 hours since I reported the ad, and after disabling adblock for a moment not only did I catch the same ad, but hey look another ad that demeans women.

What WE can do

Send an email to reportads@gaiaonline.com with the picture I provided. Even better, if you happen to catch the ad yourself while browsing the site, report the date and time you saw it. If enough people complain, they just might listen!

I think telling Gaia not to do something implicitly tells them to begin development on said bad thing as soon as possible.

Us: Gaia, don't center the website!
Gaia: Centers website.
Us: Gaia don't continue releasing Flynn's Booty!
Gaia: Releases more Flynn's Booty.
Us: Don't make Gold Generators!
Gaia: Makes more gold generators.
Us: There's too many announcements.
Gaia: Makes exponentially more announcements each month.
Us: Listen to our feedback
Gaia: Never listens to feedback

Perhaps we should try reverse psychology and see if that has any impact. (Hopefully they don't take it to heart...)

Idk, can't tell from her face if she's screaming or pleasured. Either way it's inappropriate.

More inappropriate than a link to some bully site where you are the bully?

Thanks for that, I hadn't remembered where to report them.
Feels kinda weird to be reporting an ad made by gaia interactive though... sweatdrop

Reminds me of those Evony ads. Maybe the next set of Tentacl ads will be a pair of bouncing breasts.

Oh god were those the borderline pornographic ads for some RTS game that had absolutely nothing to do with scantily clad women?

Yes, yes they were. In addition to suggestive phrases like "Come play m'lord" and "play discreetly" like you'd be in Porneoland. I read on the TVTropes page that it was also chock full of spyware.

Yeah those ads were ridiculous.At least the art for tentacl is kinda decent.
