My mother was neck deep in “Satanic Panic” propaganda. Literally thought Pokemon was “Satanic.” I think the thing that set her off was the Japanese-style art, and Japan isn’t majority-Christian like the U.S. is.
Don’t think that by explaining this I’m trying to make it make sense. The “sense” train derailed long before, but even more so when she decided that Pokemon had wiccan influence for some random fucking reason.
