Politicizing children is just not acceptable, no matter which side you're on.

Agreed, but that wasn't the ads purpose, did you actually read up on it? It wasn't supposed to be shown to the under 18 crowd, and the wording of the ad itself was clearly for parents, not kids.

and yet, it somehow made it into a kids game. The core issue here is the uncontrolled content display. Imagine some NSFW ads slip through into a kids app. Therefore, ads must be forbidden in apps intended for underaged.
