I thought the very same thing. Also I was laughing because it's just so ridiculious that The Escapist put put up something like that.Tartarga said:

We Brits don't get it, sadly. Only ads I've seen is for the content on the site and the Escapist store.Woodsey said:
Oh, and the Blackberry ad in the Captcha.
Wow.
Six pages.
Obligatory Pub-Club is Awesome and doesn't get ads post activation!
Seriously though, it's hardly worth getting this upset about. Yeah, it's stupid - Yeah, it's funny. No, it isn't ruining your life. The porn isn't jumping out the screen and throttling you to death, nor is it making you click on it. Hell, the picture on it isn't even as bad as Evony ads.
You know, this one?

And that's for an actual game, not porn. Which is just teasing, in my opinion.
Edit: Also! Where is the 'I don't care' option for the poll? >:O

Fight against this blatant discrimination against the British and let them know we won't stand for it!
No, no, you got the rhetoric all wrong. Conservative media groups caring about womens' rights? Not in their lifetime.Matthew Kjonaas said:
Their angle is that you'll go straight to hell, and transform every single minor you meet on the way into a thoughtless (democratic voting) thieving, disrespectful hellspawn.
I initially raged NO! since this site is used by a lot of kids and pre-teens and such. Then I realised one of the ads has Faye Regan... so um... yeah... I'm ok with this.
And I shall...as soon as I can afford to spare 20 bucks. Should be next week sometime. Damn you college!Daystar Clarion said:

They deleted about half the anime and manga pages entirely because FastEddie doesn't understand that just because anime features an underage girl it isn't automatically pornographic. I think at the moment there's a big reinstatement thing going on, but each page has to be appealed individually, so loads are going to be missed for ages.
It was hilarious seeing them taking down classic literature like Lolita though, just on the offchance that documenting what happens in the novel might tarnish the reputation of troping.
Ahahaha what. I did not know this "FastEddie" person. Gonna have to check this out.MelasZepheos said:
I have to admit its not very classy. This puts the escapist in the same corner of the internet as file sharing websites and, well, porn.
OK, now I've read the post, and it's honestly one of the msot disgusting moral panics I've ever seen. I like TVtropes usually, but dear god why have they let those idiots into their moderation?MelasZepheos said:
