    It's weird that so many old videogame ads have a general theme of making fun of people who play videogames in a crass mean spirited way

    I don't read that at all from the ad. It's just silly wordplay about jerking off; you'd see the same thing as a shitpost comment today. I think the only way to read it as mean-spirited is to project your own shame towards masturbation onto it.

    Capitalism for you. The videogame market crash taught game producers at the time that they need to market sexually to young boys to keep the industry alive....and well they did that.
