    Reminds me of the 90’s. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it…

    Now it’s like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn’t matter it’s not the case at all.

      I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that “Watership Down” should probably be removed from the kid’s section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a “yeah… mkay.”

      A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said “yeeeeah, the boss’ sister brought it home for her kids. It’s gone now. Like… actually gone.”

      Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one.

        I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.

      Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it’s almost all she’ll watch.

      I saw la blue girl when I was 18 and it traumatized me. That shit is fucked up. I thought it was anime bc my friend had a big collection and it was just there on the shelf.

        Ehhh La Blue Girl isn’t that crazy as far as hentai goes. I did love the pubic hair needle attack.

    This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad’s credit card was awesome.

    15 years later and YouTube doesn’t even know what gambling is anymore, lol.

    YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications “not certified by Google.”

    It’s literally on the Play Store, rated at M.

    • MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Dunno why it’s even rated M. Seems high for what it is

      source
      • Revan343@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It’s rated M because of moderators poor understanding of ‘gambling’
