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.

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.
