Unsettling advert - picture of an infantilised woman

I find this advert really unsettling - it looks like an infantilised / vulnerable woman to me. So, I just wanted to flag this.

I posted about this yesterday.
It caused a bit of a stir!

You can just press on the little triangle in the bottom left and it should bring up the URL without having to mess around with airplane mode.

I hate this ad and see it a lot.

Me too! Find it disturbing.

I see this quite often too; it really freaks me out.

I don't get how MN don't know who is advertising on its site 🤔

I’m not sure what’s wrong with it- it looks like a young woman, but I wouldn’t say overly young. And it’s illustrated, so artistic license was used.
I don’t get it?

It's a distorted image of a woman. I haven't seen the ad, but that screenshot is a bit disturbing and I wouldn't like it either.

Hello @PikachusSmarterBrother thanks for posting. If you see this ad again, can we please ask that you set your device to airplane mode, then click on the ad? This will bring up the URL but you won't load the page. Then share the URL with us. Sorry for the faff, but this will help us identify what the ad is and if it's inappropriate, we can prevent it from showing again. Thank you.
