Do most of these kids parents not go to the gas station 1-2 times a week? Last I checked the pumps are always still loaded with people. I highly doubt a fucking shell sweepstakes in Fortnite is causing harm.
So they’d tell their parents to fill up at Shell instead of Chevron or whatever. It’s not like kids are going to want more fossil fuels, they’ll just want to shop at the cool brand instead of the less cool brand.
Then describe the innocent reason for adding a gas company in a video game? Like it doesn’t fit in universe at all, but arguably does have an indoctrining effect
Yeah, I’m a parent and I take my kids with me to the gas pump quite often. We shop at Costco and fill up before or after. I honestly don’t see an issue at all, my kids know gas pollutes (I tell them frequently even though they’re in elementary school), and they know why I continue to buy gas (EVs are too expensive, inconvenient for longer trips, and have a fire hazard).
So no, I don’t have a problem with fossil fuels being a thing in games. I do have a problem with advertisements in games generally, and ads marketed to kids specifically. So if this was an ad for a socially acceptable business (take your pick), I’d still be opposed. Keep that nonsense away from my kids.

Do we really need to explain why an oil company trying to cozy up to the younger generation is a bad thing? Really…?
Apparently so.
No but thinking this is somehow indoctrinating kids is hilarious.
Then why do you think Shell prompted these streams?

Lmfao

Okay, so what are they trying to do then?
Lots of them plug in at home and never have to go to a shitty, ad filled, long as line, price gauged pump again 😎
I’m one of those people, but sitting here acting like the majority of the country is doing that just shows that people are living in a bubble.

I’m so thankful pumps don’t play ads where I’m from.
Then you are so naive that it´s almost unbelievable.

1-2 times a week? Are these people just doing fucking burnouts in a 1970 truck or something every day?
For a second there I felt called out, but my gas guzzling burnout truck is from the 90s 👍
