Honestly it should probably be limited.
Ads on billboards for example. Distracts bad drivers.
Don't need to be bad drivers:

I think the question that needs to be asked about all this is not whether it's popular, but whether it's making more people go to buy Arby's.
Let's run a quick poll right here. Please rate Agree if you want to got to Arby's more now, and please rate Disagree if you don't want to.
Come on, that's not how advertising works
Studies have shown that wether or not people think advertising has worked on them does not mean that it hasn't. Simply being reminded that Arby's exists might make you more inclined to consider it as an eating option without you realizing it.
As I've mentioned prior in the thread, advertising like this isn't really to make you go eat at Arby's. It's to increase the Mind Share and make people think of Arby's in a positive light, which in turn increase the brand value which will attract more investors. And, as a side effect some people will inevitably look at an Arby's and the positive association they will have with the company due to marketing like this will subconsciously influence them to go grab a sandwich.
Advertising - especially in this day and age - is less about conscious arguments for a good product, and more about subtly implanting the idea of the product within the subject's brain. And we know this works.
wow I didnt know you spoke for all victims of child abuse. You certainly dont speak for me.
I've actually seen people argue the term waifu is inherently sexual, doesn't make much sense to me
Waifu is a phonetic spelling of how a Japanese person would pronounce wife. The meaning has changed to be more generic over time but it is my understanding that originally it was used to claim a romantic and therefore implicitly sexual interest in a character. Given it's origin I understand why some people would misinterpret it to mean "this is a character that I want to fuck".
The term comes from a scene on Azumanga Daioh from 2002 where a character pronounces the words "My wife" in a broken english that sounds like "Mai Waifu". The term "Waifu" has been used since then in a form of "inside joke" of anime/manga fans to refer to an female character that is their favorite and making jokes like "I am having a dinner with my waifu" and shows a photo of a Dakimakura. Recently, as Anime itself started to be much more popular, the term now is used to refer any female character and lost the original meaning of the word.
TLDR: It was originally used to mock otaku culture, and now is used unironically.
