Okay so

Mobile games often have ads right?
Ads are usually based on your searches and whatnot but you can usually choose to opt out of "personalised ads" for a lot of things?

Which I've done wherever possible.

This may be why I'm getting ads for an app called Wish which seems to be eBay for people who "found stuff that fell off the back of a truck and it's totally a legit Rolex I promise it's just a typo that makes it say Fauxlex" or cheap knock-off garbage.

However I uh

One of the ads I got which mercifully was a skippable one I caught a glimpse of something that I wasn't sure I'd seen correctly. The ad didn't show up again for ages.... Until just now, and it turns out... I had seen it correctly

There is a reason it will be content warninged in the next post about this. And why I haven't just posted it.

No there is no report ad button that I can see or find, but I could be wrong. They seem to be getting harder to report every day. Anyway here we go

The ad in question, for Wish: sex toy very visible, silhouette of genitals

@BatElite it might actually be a body suit? I'm not wholly sure. And I didn't really feel like tapping on the ad to be sure because I was like 99.9999% sure it wouldn't take me to those products...
That and I don't really want to give it the impression I'm paying ads any more than a cursory inspection

@BatElite ... Of course this does imply that it was the penis or the BDSM gear that made me actually LOOK at the ad in more detail, and while that's technically true it's only because the first time I reflexively closed the ad the moment it came up but my subconscious was like "hey I think that was a penis" and of course - mercifully - you can't UNclose a popup.

Sex toys
