YouTube restricts some, but not all, videos depicting the poker-ish indie game.

      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

        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. 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.

            The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don’t want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.

          It’s a weird hentai, but it’s overall pretty tame.

          Bible Black is more intense. Then Urutsikodoji. Then some other fucked up anime that didn’t stick into my memory. La Blue Girl is barely a step above regular hentai in fucked-up-ness.

    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.

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