In candidate 1 so far I have seen one questionable advertisement so far from citasconlatinas (I believe it was called) its adult oriented (not safe for work) and something you wouldn't want your kid seeing (if playing on their own tablet). Just a heads up.

Congratulations War2K you've just confessed your browsing habits to everyone here. ;)
Don't feel bad, my google ad history is forever polluted from searching for visual references for KeepHD and Dark. I think Google believes me to be a 16 year old atheist with revenge fantasies who dabbles in the occult.
Want to be really creeped out though? When near your phone, say aloud that you're looking for some kitchen appliance or something. See how long it takes-- without your ever typing in it-- to start showing you kitchen appliance ads.
(This is why lots of people get annoyed about sex in ads, but not violence-- though those same people will get annoyed about non-positive violence such as in GTA).
I guess this is partly because treating women as objects is so ubiquitously part of today's society that I I would like to try and prevent him from being influenced in that direction as much as possible
I brought the same concern up to John a week or two ago. He explained those ads so up not so much because you are doing searches for sexual related themes but because your search history shows that your are probably an adult male. Hopefully, when the ad software examines a child's search history the ads would be toned down.
About a year ago I was taking Human Sexualtiy. I do not even want to think about the ads I would get if playing Keep back then!
Bear in mind this is a game that does not have a rating or any age restrictions at all, and is in fact very common with young teenagers and children as young as 11 and 12.
The first time it happened I was sure that it was another player who said it period after it happened a few times I actually realized that no it was in fact the game.
We have fallen greatly my friends. greatly.
Keep in mind that dota is a warcraft 3(which is a t rated game) custom map. Based on the esrb rating system, children young as 11 or 12 should not be playing dota. Your point is right but the example is not appropriate.
Wait you are just talking about dota 2 only? Oh please [-(, don’t tell me dota 2 is most played multiplayer game in existence. I can refute that argument really easily but this not some battleground for fanboys so i’ll stop with that. ;)
Let’s be serious and see why dota 2 having the word holy sh17 is actually fine. The kill streaks that dota used was orignially from Unreal Tournament (which was not designed or rated for young people at all). Dota developers used this kill streak system (every word of it) to the original dota and then transfered it into dota 2. Considering dota was never designed for younger audiences, it would not be appropriate to criticize them for using a kill streak phrase that has the word $h1t.
The only reason why there is no rating for dota 2 is that esrb dont rate online game for some reason. Of course, other countries have age restrictions on online games unlike America
To be honest, annoucer saying h s is not a big deal. The game was never meant for kids to play, you don’t hear that unless your team throws the game hard, and the 11 years old feeder mid zeus in your team will say f word more than the annoucer would. :D
The fact is you're right, 10 year old mid feeders do curse more than the commentator. But that's all so tragic. I have a 10 year old son if he ever spoke like that I would wash his mouth out with soap. I have a goal to raise a wholesome well-rounded family. And because of that I don't let my son play games that have that kind of commentary it's just a pretty freaking sad world where parents are letting their kids play games like this where they are exposed to this kind of garbage.
So arguments aside, it's just pretty sad that we live in a world where this is basically just completely acceptable
It is sad that world we live in is like this but if we look back history, the world was always like that in different ways (and parents keep saying “kids these days” in different languages)
You just reminded me of a Funny Story. I remember some years ago I was sitting with a bunch of friends we were playing Halo 1 on the original Xbox. An older friend from the last generation walked in, and said that looks fun can I try it. We were like sure and handed him a controller. He noticed a headset and said can you talk to other people in the game? We were like yes. He was like can I try it? We were like yes. So we handed him the headset he puts it on and proceeds immediately to Mistime a grenade and fail to save a teammate. Said teammate who was some 12 year old punk let out a stream of filthy filthy curses. My older friend literally his face turned red he was totally in shock. He was stammering and stuttering, and finally having nothing else to say, he said into the mic does your mom know you talk like that? That was not the right thing to say apparently, because this kid's response was pretty epic I'll let you imagine it, the end result was my friend grabbed the headset and ripped it off his head and threw it on the floor like it was something yucky and gross he stared at it for a minute - and then he said I think online gaming is not for me.
Different generations. Lol.
