To the editor: Hooray! Somebody in addition to me sees shops like JapanLA for what they’re (“How a cute L.A. Hello Kitty shop became a target for TikTok trolls,” Sept. 4). They’re casinos wrapped up in cute packages, geared to entice kids.
I went into one for the primary (and final) time earlier this yr and walked out completely shocked and horrified at what they’re advertising and the way.
It might not shock me to study that 10 years from now, there’s a dramatic rise in playing addictions. At the least while you gamble in a on line casino, there’s a distant probability that you’ll get cash. At these shops, all the buyer will get is a cute piece of plastic (and often not even the one they need!) that can finally find yourself in a landfill as a result of they may don’t have any actual worth in anyway.
