Are Pokemon GO, and Other Apps and Games, Spying on You Right Now?

Carl Williams writes, "In today’s world it is nothing new for apps and games to ask for certain permissions upon installing them.

Ugh!!! Wtf?!? Why are they cancelling feminine women

Have they never seen female hips? lol

They removed curves and made em look sickly. But hey now you can make a morbidly obese character, or a very buff chick. Tell me how I'm the crazy one, and how there nothing wrong with this. Gaslight me by asking why I'm bothered by video game characters not looking sexy and by telling me that i don't know how real women look like. Smh

isarai7d ago

So we just canceling women now? 😒
