But there are people outside D:
Not to mention the sheer volume of ads. Egads, have you guys seen a baseball stadium?

I think I finally understand what is wrong with Free-To-Play MMORPGs.

They are just one huge advertisement for the very game you are playing.

You logged in? Well look at these products, maybe one will be interesting to you.
Did you die? Well if you paid for this item maybe you would have lived
Did you get an awesome item? Well it is probably part of the store.
Did you get a chest of wonderous items you cannot open? Well I hope you buy from the store.
Tons of items as part of the game's metagame that you cannot store? Well why don't buy a bank extension.

It is just constant and unending sales pitch and advertisement. Where the game elements are intentionally stacked to convince you to buy.

Yep.

F2P games are only free if they are failing at the blatant manipulations they are attempting on you.  They are trying to catch as many suckers as they can.

WTF

Honestly I can see why that cartoon was banned, given that it is probably the most intentionally racist cartoon I ever seen. It doesn't even seem to hide under the "we aren't being serious" most cartoons do making it a bit disturbing.

Yet I can perfectly picture it on South Park. Then again probably because on South Park it would kind of be less racist.

WTF
I know it's YouTube, and Poe's Law is a thing, but MY GOD the comments!
Those comments make me sad to be American.

It isn't a banned cartoon, it's just Micheal Moore's bullshit.

Anyways, media doesn't get "banned" here so much as "Scorned by collective pact of THE CORPORATION. SHUN THE NON-BELIEVERS!"

Not that it stops certain groups from trying to ban stuff.

You censor it when it shows TOTALLY NOT MOHAMMED (I think I spelled that wrong) in a bear suit.

Because it isn't even remotely accurate and is part of Micheal Moore's bullshit armchair liberal history revision.
