So I was looking at one of the games my 11 year old sister plays on our iPad. WTF has our world come to.

To be fair, Alexis is a pretty girly name.

Don't leave us hanging did she break up with Alexis or continue on?

Game looks like It Girl or Top Girl, or some other similar game that just reinforces manipulative behavior and superficiality.

I feel bad for the kids that are being morphed by this. Little girls do not know the basis of how this is wrong- they take this as a society sponsored behavior. I do not usually get on the ban bandwagon but I am all for boycotting this game/company.

Well you know, after 3 days, if you've done things right, you'll have milked him dry of presents for all he's worth.

Seems about right for her age.

Teaching her that she's a commodity and can get things from men using sex.

Name of game?

nctt · 5 months

Me and a firend (both male) were playing this at uni one day for the lols. It became apparent that this wasn't actually funny but tragic pretty damn quickly. To start the game, you need to choose your boyfriend and what you're going to wear on your first date, and there was something about getting popularity to get 'better' friends or something. As I said.. we stopped quite soon after starting.

Jesus. What happened to the days when ~~kids~~ boys used to play games where they manipulated Japanese school girls into having sex with them?

SubtleMockery · 5 months

"Kill everyone who isn't American, on sight."

Yes, those are much better games.

EricFaust · 5 months

Alexis is short for male name Alexandros. The female for Alexandros is Alexandra. I have no idea how Alexis turned out being used for females in English language.

PostPostModernism · 5 months

So we're supposed to get up in arms about how video games will teach this little girl to use men, but we're not allowed to talk about how video games will make kids violent?

If video games will not make a kid violent, then this is not a problem either. It's just a game.

Downvote me to hell if you like, but handing an 11 year old an ipad and a game that an adult hasn't reviewed seems to be the head of this dragon. Where are your parents? Just because it's becoming the social norm to let unfamiliar media raise our kids doesn't mean it's good.

ApolloTGB · 5 months

im having a hard time upvoting this. due to the content being scary. i dont want this to be true

lousku · 5 months

Looks to me like a Facebook game called It Girl. I... errrr, a friend tried it once.

DICKFACE_McSHITBONER · 5 months

Who the fuck...really...

Think about it, someone had to pitch this game to other people...how the fuck did he pull that off.

Yeah, dumping someone to get presents is much worse than killing people to get money from random people who happened to be calling the phonebox you just murdered a dozen of people next to...

Well, your 11 year old sister has a fucking iPad. Of course she'll play things that show her how to keep getting nice things for free.

Teekoo · 5 months

So you people laugh when they say violent video games affects kids badly, but when a childrens game does something like this you are all up and arms about it?

warm_slurm · 5 months

It's just a game, dude. Gamers get bent out of shape when people complain about violent games being bad for people, so this really shouldn't be any different.

HappyRectangle · 5 months

If you really think about it, you've probably already played games with worse premises, that teach worse "life lessons".

Don't make the naive older generation mistake that kids can't tell game from reality.

n4n4k1 · 5 months

At least she'll grow up with the understanding of how the world works? I wish someone burst my innocence bubble about love and dating at 11, would've saved me $50,000+ and many years of trouble.

this has the same effect on women as it does men... when we play CoD and battlefield we don't go out on a shooting spree afterwards do we?

zooweee · 5 months

how did it end, did she find a new boyfriend?

sbmoore · 5 months

To be fair...if someone posted a picture of Tommy Vercetti beating a hooker in Vice City and asked "what has our world come to" everyone would be jumping up and down with apoplexy and saying how unfair such a comment is...

Poor kn0thing

swagtech · 5 months

either video games don't influence you (make you violent) or they do (turn her into a gold digger). You only get one argument, people.

Batrok · 5 months

Who cares? What's wrong with that? Is it worse than Call of Duty, or Skyrim, or GTA, or any of the other top 50 selling games? No, it's not.

mcmur · 5 months

ironically, games like this due a much greater disservice to women than they do to men. It encourages women/young girls to behave in such a way that would relegate themselves to a secondary position in which they much rely on men for everything.

Counterkulture · 5 months

In fairness, shit like this has been drilled into women's brains a lot longer than this. Stuff like this just distills it better.

In her defense, the boyfriend is named Alexis.

Aisha11 · 5 months

I'm more interested in what the store pictured in the bottom right corner sells. There aren't many commodities I can think of that start with Vibra-. One, in fact.

clonn · 5 months

I was doing some search for a kids oriented project we're working on and I found Moshi Monsters, an online game were you adopt a monster and basically buy things. You can buy a few thing for free and then you've to upgrade to a premium account to buy more... things. There's no other objective in the game than buying things and making your monster happy for that. Pathetic. Worst if you think most of the parents don't give a fuck of what the kid is doing.

[deleted] · 5 months

Why does the link say x-post from wtf? It's like repost-ception

runbyfruiting · 5 months

I'm 23 and I know what game this is from. Runbyfruiting, look at your life, look at your choices

Italianblkguy1 · 5 months

That is so messed up.

My life is that game...true story.

Magice · 5 months

Reason why girls like to break up so much it's a game to them.

slimbruddah · 5 months

Psychological conditioning.

That examples a bit more blatant than TV. We're surrounded by this shit.

Which is why I no longer partake in television or movies.

StrangeArrangement · 5 months

Can anyone confirm that this is real? Looked through the comments and all I've seen is people getting upset about it. It'd be really embarrassing if we're all getting angry at something that's faked.

CamelCarcass · 5 months

That's pretty fucking awful.

NotSoTinfoil · 5 months

Yeah, I agree, why is she playing superficial social games when she could be playing real serious games with a deeper message, like about sexy assassin nuns or something.

Xxpinklumpxx · 5 months

Well you have to teach girls that how to be a successful gold digger sometime. Why not at 11 years old through an addictive iPad game. Seems reasonable enough to me.

Yeah, and Grand Theft Auto encourages preteen boys to kill prostitutes. Can anyone say, "double standard"?

Let me answer that for you, it's teaching them this. Imgur

Khiva · 5 months

I, for one, and shocked and appalled that a video game would reinforce shallow, demeaning gender stereotypes.

Reductive · 5 months

Yes. It's perfectly valid to presume that children can't understand the difference between what is shown in a video game and the way they should act in real life. This is why criticism about violent video games causing violent behavior is perfectly valid. In fact, all media portrayals of any event intended for minors ought to show all characters acting ethically, so as to avoid normalizing unethical behavior.

Won't someone please think of the children?

WTF
