This is is getting kids hooked thru gambling mechanics. These are all the same tricks used by online gambling. Coded for kids.
Its fucking the grossest thing. It makes me be ashamed to be in the same industry.
Burn it with fire.

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.
Si l'initiative citoyenne européenne visant à interdire les thérapies de conversion dans toute l'UE ne récolte pas 1 million de signatures d'ici 10 jours, elle échouera malheureusement...
