FA Leadership, I'm calling you out.
10 years ago
FA Leadership, you have recently decided to allow for third-party adult ads to be displayed on this site.
Now, regardless of the fact that any money that these ads might have earned the site is negated by the increase in users who will now browse with an ad-blocking service...
You should be ASHAMED of yourselves for allowing the use of ads that use such DEGRADING and SEXIST language.
Human pornography is one (controversial) thing; but the "hookup" ads that DEMEAN, DEGRADE, and OBJECTIFY women are incontrovertiblly unacceptable. Stop rationalizing and justifying that it's acceptable to allow half of the world's population to be treated as second-class people in the name of generating income. You are not merely allowing this atrocity to perpetuate; you are profiting from it.
FA Leadership, stop contributing to the marginalization of women; do your part and REMOVE these ads IMMEDIATELY.
There is no debate here, only shame.
And because you have asked for your shame to be served with a side of hypocrisy, the following is from your own Code of Conduct:
1.8 - Do not engage in malicious speech. This includes bigotry and disparaging remarks about anyone’s race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation.
If repeated ads using "bitches" to refer to all females does not count as malicious speech based on gender, then I do not know what does.
FA Leadership, it's time to step up and own up. Leaders are tasked with uniting those beneath them in doing something greater together than they could have ever imagined by themselves. Do not misuse this responsibility that the community has given you (yes, "given", as your users are free to leave you at any time); instead unite with them to take a stand against this system of abhorrent marginalization and, commit to the banning of these reprehensible ads both present and future.
"Most of us fall short much more by omission than by commission. While the world perishes we go our way: purposeless, passionless, day after day." --Mildred Lisette Norman
And, to the rest of you, if you have not already made your voice heard, please do so.
