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 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.
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. Lol
Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it's almost all she'll watch. She's had to get used to some of the...cultural differences...that Anime includes, but she's so used to it now that it barely registers any more.
...cultural differences...
Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis
ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show
I mean there's some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.
Just look at Stroheim from JoJo's
I mean, I haven't seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There's a lot of shit I don't pick up on tho.
I want to gamble on Balatro.
Wheel got you covered
I don't care what the dev says: that thing ain't 1:4.
It's 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts, so fuck knows what the actual odds are.
Nope!
I wish I had your restraint. EVERY time!
First three times I got the wheel it triggered.
I didn't understand the memes.
Then it never happened again.
But poly is going to fix all my problems!! At least thats what the OF model told me.
