    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?

      “Playstation is a drug”

      It’s edgy marketing. You’re not wrong it’s also clearly sexualizing her, but they’re pushing a console like a party drug.

      On the one hand, it’s a very dated ad, on the other I really wish marketing companies would do weird shit like this more. Just maybe with a bit less sex appeal?

        Counter point: sex appeal is fine.

        It’s the people who are pushy irl who are the problem. IMO you can still be very “sexy” and as long as you don’t push it, that’s not a problem.

      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.

      Why is this saying the woman is a prostitute?

      What is wrong if she was one?

      semi trolling.

      If you see this girl as a slut, that’s a you issue lol. Might want to do some therapy about that.
