    I’ve never cared for furry stuff, but hell, I probably would’ve stayed if I’d gotten anything nearly as hilarious as “werewolf breeding zone” instead of all the religious and techbro crap I was getting through their ads.

        I’ve been wondering that too, since I found the campaign to pester my kids constantly. Tried to clean their browser history and change the algorithm but it keeps popping up.

        Basically it’s a disgusting attempt to brainwash kids.

        From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Gets_Us

        The campaign primarily targets younger demographics and religious skeptics

        He Gets Us has faced criticism over the extensive spending by the campaign, its donors’ support of anti-abortion and anti-LGBT groups, and disputes over claims that the campaign is apolitical.

        most of the individual donors who provided the money have chosen to remain anonymous.

          Maybe ‘he gets us’ is not the best thing for religions to be saying to kids considering all the sexual abuse scandals…

        Apparently even the omniscient and omnipotent don’t know who their followers are and have to advertise to find them.
