Or could it indeed be that ‘war’ and ‘love’ are not meaningful opposites?

And that we just want the Trigs to go the hell away.

It was less about the connection between love and war and more about whatever triglavians do or do not
Case in point
If Triglavians want to date New Eden residents and New Eden residents want to date Triglavians (consenting adults of course), why so much fuss about it?
If we look at history there is a tendency to punish those that had intercourse or relationship with the “opponent”, specially females (public display of humiliation, shaving hair, beating naked and such) as usually the males tend to rape.
Let us see how long it takes for the first inter-spacial couple to be displayed in public humiliation, like Anvent Eturrer.

I think this marketing campaign has worked, if even capsuleers talk about this now…

Because they’re different bloodlines !! It’s perversion, it’s mongrelization!
Are you not ok with Gallente wanting to mix with Triglavians?
If gallente want to sink into filth and depravity, it’s their life, I don’t care, though I doubt they can get any worse than they’re now. Even same Triglavians are better. In any way, it’s Triglavian and Gallente problems if they want to mud their races, not mine.
What I am not okay with, is that this advertisement is shown outside of the Federation in the civilized areas as well. I am not okay with our citizens being corrupted into filth and depravity, I am against children with pure hearts to see this perversion, this is what I am not okay with.
If idiots want to accept obviously deceptive propaganda from a hostile invasion force that’s forcibly mutating people, why should anyone bother answering their questions?
Really, the ad did strike me as at least a little bit a wry joke?
More, “we’ll help you find your match, no matter who, no matter how far away,” than, “we’ll pair you with Triglavians.”
Granted it’s a little callous but we do live in a society that has within recent memory done sporting events with a body count of many, many thousands, sponsored, if I remember, by Quafe, possibly the least-controversial beverage in the cluster. We seem to live in a kind of hard-hearted society (or cluster of same). In that context, the amused are likely to outnumber the offended by orders of magnitude, and the controversy will increase exposure.
So, practically, it might even be … a really good (that is, effective) ad?

It’s a sign of weakness if you have to shield your people from a single innocuous advertisement for fear of them being corrupted by it.
If your parenting skills are so weak as to allow something like this to corrupt a child’s very soul, Caldari parenting is worse than my ma’s. If she saw me even look in that general direction she’d have wooped my ass.
Course, she’s nucking futs as my pa would say. Much rather a child grow up with that kinda thing than a goddamn eternal war ffs.

I’m not looking at this ad from the point of view of the guy in it, as the marketing people did. When I saw the ad, I empathized with the first girl, the one who got rejected…
Apparently, the geniuses at Divinity Social matched her up with a double-dating douchebag. And just as he’s got her all seduced and she is ready to kiss him, she finds out he’s been having this thing with a Trig all along.
Yeah, sign me up for that, right?
This ad would have been so much better, in so many ways, if it had ended with the first girl punching the guy and wiping the smirk off his face.

Elaine can do way better than him anyway. When I saw that ad for the first time, my first reaction was “Gosh, she has totally dodged a bullet there.”
And it could be literally anything under that suit, how the hell does he even know? The guy deserves whatever freakish calamity that comes from under that mask, to be honest.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Exactly. Unless the guy’s heart can see the Ostingelean constrictor snake that is about to jump out of that suit and swallow him whole, he’s in big trouble.
Perhaps all he wants is to be swallowed partially.
Only squishy men who can’t handle the curvature of real women would date triangles.

I would get used to it. As the Triglavian collective becomes more entrenched in New Eden they will naturally attract the ‘interests’ of other people across the cluster. It’s human nature, and no amount of state suppression will remove that. At first it might start as a joke, slowly it’ll become serious, soon enough it will become widespread. If a hidden sentiment among many people, and that’s just how things will be from there on out.
Personally, I hope that the Triglavians have some method of ‘proving’ for the process to ward off the more decadent and depraved of the New Eden Cluster. Should they deign to even acknowledge the infatuation i’d only want what’s best for them.
I suppose rule 34 was going to hit the trigs sooner or later. I guess now they get to face humanity’s greatest weapon: unbridled lust.
As an Ammaryian Purist and proud member of the Purity of the Throne I am shocked and outraged by this blatant promotion of race mixing within the borders of the great Empire.
