Take a look at these screenshots of an advertisement for the game, Hero Wars, that have appeared on Facebook and X. (Screenshots taken between 2024/7/20 and 2020/8/4.)
The animation for these ads progresses quite rapidly, so it’s hard to notice the details. But if you take screenshots, you’ll get a real eye-opener of what is being presented.
Corny P0rny
One ad contained several obscene scenes, some that were suggestively obscene and others that were obscenely obscene.
Here’s a scene that depicts the ‘Hero’ moving his right arm rapidly, making it appear like he’s masturbating to the image of a horned demon. On the vanity, there is a whip and a phone number, (666) 666-6666, written on the mirror. The woman in the foreground is wearing a short see-through nightie that clearly shows her @ss crack. In the following scene, it is shown that he isn’t masturbating, but is sharpening a huge sword, but no sword can be seen in this image.
Here’s a scene that is suggestive of petting. The woman’s attire leaves little to the imagination.
I flipped out when I saw this next scene. Wh0rey horses!
When the ‘Hero’ enters, the woman and the horse transform to ‘innocent’ in a puff of smoke.
Male Sexuality
Some scenes really get to the heart of the male desire for tender female affection, young ‘love’, and weakness for T & A.
Ancient Egyptian idolatry appears prominently. Here’s a shot of what looks like the ‘Hero’ suckling on Cleopatra’s humongous jeweled tit.
This scene depicts the ‘Hero’ caressing a spectacled and chokered chick while gazing at her boob. A wave-like motion and a splash of water gives the impression of body banging and a splurge respectively.
OTOH, other scenes highlight the masculine desire for female conquest and dominion.
One scene shows women being crucified in Japanese pagodas. It is assumed that the ‘Hero’ is supposed to rescue these women.
In one shot, it appears that the ‘Hero’ has a woman behind chains. In the animation, her eyes are hearts, her head is bobbing, and she’s moving her @ss like she’s getting humped.
Greek mythology also appears, complete with sexual imagery. The chick on the far right strokes the ‘Hero’s’ hip until he grabs her head and pulls her closer. All the chicks are blushing with desire.
In another scene, a chick walks in on the ‘Hero’ humping the maid.
Raw Reflections of Sordid Society
In this scene, a pointy-eared, purple-eyed mermaid is squeezing her tit with one hand and moving her other hand on the edge of the boat, giving the appearance of a handjob.
In the next scene, the mermaid turns evil, shoots purple fire out of her eyes, steals the kid, and dives underwater.
Quite a nice parable of family divorce court.
In fact, most of these scenes depict women seducing the ‘Hero’, him falling in ‘love’ with them, and then being bamboozled by them. Also, most scenes depict women and female giantesses eating, smacking, and/or kicking the ‘Hero’. Aside from the Japanese pagoda scene, Female dominance is obvious and ubiquitous.
Female Sexuality
Not only are these ads rather explicitly p0rnographic, I’m somewhat amused to find that the creators are also Red Pill aware.
Here’s a scene that depicts blindfolded male NPCs falling into a hole between a giantess’ legs, one after another, as she mischieviously looks on. The number 69 appears ubiquitously, adding to the suggestive meretriciousness of the game.
Another scene depicts a ‘princess’ who’s “hit the wall” with a banana in her mouth and splooge all over her face and hair.
Here’s another ad depicting a proverbial ‘Man Eater’ who consumes men for her own pleasure until she gets fooled and destroyed by an ‘Alpha’.
In this scene, a number of male characters are walking a plank into the chest cavity of an oddly long-limbed chick wearing body armor. The male NPCs remove their body armor and then toss it into her, where it is consumed with fire. She gets a orgasmic expression across her face and then gives him a look of approval. Then she kicks up the plank causing the NPC to slide down the plank into her, where he is also consumed with fire and she gets the same blushing O face. Her armor turns gold after consuming the first man, and becomes more ornate after ‘eating’ the second. When the ‘Hero’ approaches, instead of removing his armor, he tosses a bomb into her. She transforms into a w!tch and attempts to ‘eat’ him too, except the bomb explodes and expels him away from her.
A further insult to masculinity is revealed through an examination of the point values. The first NPC is worth 10 points; he is 3 without his armor, consuming his armor bumps up her value by 9, and the man himself is only 1. The second NPC is worth 12 points clothed, 8 after he removes his armor, and only 1 himself. The ‘Hero’ is worth 69 points. Heh.
Conclusions
One the one hand, there’s much to be learned about human sexuality and behavior from watching these ads, and it’s probably an effective medium for adolescents to learn about the Birds and the Bees. On the other hand, it is wholly inappropriate for younger preadolescent audiences who tend to imitate everything they see without understanding, and it might even be psychologically damaging.
If media like this is allowed and/or used for entertainment or instruction, it must be accompanied with adult guidance. The viewing experience must be monitored to see exactly what message young people are learning from this, and to ensure that the messages in the media are received as a description of human nature and a precaution, and NOT a prescription.
My reaction to these ads might be pearl clutching, especially seeing how there are many video games that are much more overtly p0rnographic than this, but my point here is that these are public ads that are aimed at an adolescent market outside of parental guidance and supervision.
Grief!
Update
On 2024/7/26, a community note appeared on X, saying…
“This ad is misleading as it does not represent the actual core gameplay.”
A link to a video displays what the actual game is like.
“Investigations into the company have prompted a potential class action lawsuit.”
