One picture features an audio series by an American religious extremist group that fights to deny civil rights to people and promotes dangerous practices that are known to increase teen suicide rates. (i.e. essentially a hate group, though SPLC doesn't rate them as one simply because their hatred is "on strictly Biblical grounds," which seems like like a terrible reason to grant an exception)
And the other features Twilight, which glorified abusive relationship dynamics in a series of books and movies marketed primarily to young girls.

Well damn. That's revolting.
There's no way I could have inferred all that from the picture. What gave it away for you?
Didn't really have time to do a background check on all the pictures, sorry.
Edited: yep, ok now I see it. "Focus on the Family". Yeah. Right.

The top of the image says "Focus on The Family presents..." I was already familiar with the organization and its anti-LGBTQ-rights and pro-conversion "therapy" efforts.
No worries, though. My original comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek. While FOTF is abhorrent and Twilight is seriously problematic, I'm really not easily offended.

Yeah that totally escaped me although with something like "focus on the family" I really should have known it was about imposing fundamentalist notions of what a family should be and not about actual families.
As for Twilight, it's definitely problematic in many many ways (seriously, just the horrendous writing offends me) but I'm going to let Lugum defend that one because I totally dodged it because I didn't want to use Twilight lol

I never watched or read anything twilight, so a) i have not known but b) these days really anything tends to get offensive quickly and sometimes a picture is just a picture around a puzzle.
It's all already enough work as it is, if we have to go find an origin/meaning with every picture that is just too much work.

Ho, ho ho, It's the season to be jolly and what not, welcome to Lugum's Advent Jigidi.
Each day from december 1 to december 31, there will be a game and christmas related puzzle, and they will run for for 24 hours, starting on 0:00 GMT +1 or Amsterdam time, with no level restrictions.
The puzzles will range from 150 to 350 pieces for both jigidi lovers and haters.
It's your own responsibility to check if a donator got you blacklisted or not, if that is the case please refrain from blacklist drama in this discussion unless it's by me, and you feel it might be unjustified.
Donators are free to join the other giveaways, and i will myself join too and post screenshots of a solved puzzle as proof (as i would have the links to the giveaways).
If you thank me, i'll take them in advance rather then replying to comments (event already takes time. :p) and a big thanks to Delisper, Fluffster and all the donators and even you for participating.
If you spot any mistake, got questions or whatever, just let me know, and please bump the thread.
Normally i would have posted new puzzles exactly on 0:00 but with work this year sometimes i might post it 2-3 hours earlier give or take (which also means you only got that much time left for the other day) ifso then i will put --> in the title.
DO check people (the --> or with the clock or just think what day it is), i still see it people solving something and being a bit too late.
Happy holidays!
Old puzzles
The End
