Honestly, it puts me off completely. I'm a woman and this is what gaming used to be: women are sluts. The ad isn't even trying to be clever or anything. Like wtf is this this trying to say?

No, the imagery was supposed to invoke the rave culture at the time. Lots of men, women, boys, and girls doing X, and the pills usually were white like that.
