hey uh HUGE warning for anyone who watches youtube - a pokemon ripoff mobile game called evertale is currently running an ad campaign on youtube leaning into ‘disturbing pokemon creepypasta fodder’ and the contents of these ads contain a HEAVY amount of depicted blood, gore, and a LOT of flashing images and disturbing audio. this all comes without warning and could easily trigger people. if you see an ad for evertale SKIP IT IMMEDIATELY. youll be able to tell it’s from them by the top-down pixelated pokemon style, the one i saw was of a girl with blond hair on a bike with some sort of creature behind her. it’s boggling that youtube even allows stuff like this to be advertised
so many people in the notes are arguing over this being a “pokemon ripoff” or how “the ads are actually really neat” or whatever. that’s not what the main issue here is. the problem is these ads have really intense, bright, uncalled for strobing images that have no warning before they come. can we stop framing the discussion around over this being a “cool advertising stunt” now. point blank youtube is approving shock ads that have the potential to induce seizures. do not give the people responsible any merit. it’s false advertising anyways. the game is nowhere near as advertised.
