Facebook Rejects Super Meat Boy Forever Ad For Being ‘Sexually Explicit’
Today, the world of videogame censorship got a little more bizarre.
Facebook recently rejected an ad for auto-runner game Super Meat Boy Forever, due to “sexually explicit” imagery. Apparently, it seems like the backsides of the game’s heroes may have been too hot for Facebook’s executives to handle. The image in question is below.
Facebook rejected an ad because it uses the image below. They say it's sexually explicit. I thought I was the only one that got a raging boner thinking about Super Meat Boy Forever but I guess not! pic.twitter.com/9qbSfRDxuA

Fortunately, it seems like the developers at Team Meat are taking this setback in their stride. They later shot back with a hilariously censored version of the same ad – mostly as a joke.
Fixed it. This is much better. Facebook was right. pic.twitter.com/NZ9cynOYy0

One wonders if they’ll attempt to submit this edited version to Facebook, and how that will turn out. In any case, Facebook won’t be able to stop our delicate eyes from witnessing such exposure, when Super Meat Boy Forever launches in April 2019 for Switch!
