Climate activists condemn oil giant for paying influencers to showcase marketing game from new gasoline campaign
Feels like Epic should shoulder some of the blame here as well, considering they allowed the fossil fuel company in the game at all. Fuck both of these companies.
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.
Do we really need to explain why an oil company trying to cozy up to the younger generation is a bad thing? Really…?
No but thinking this is somehow indoctrinating kids is hilarious.
Okay, so what are they trying to do then?
Then why do you think Shell prompted these streams?
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
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 👍
