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. Lol

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

[-] RushJet1@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Ninja Scroll am I right or am I right

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

My first anime! My pops let me rent it when I was like 11 or 12.

Fuckin AWESOME.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] 18_24_61_b_17_17_4@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

What goes on in that? Not sure I should even Google it?

[-] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Tentacles. Yes, in that way.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months 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.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] SRo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Well it is anime.

[-] 60d@lemmy.ca 52 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Tamo240@programming.dev 12 points 3 months ago

Don't you dare remind me how long ago 2010 was

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

The Matrix is 25.5 years right now.

Jurassic Park came out 32 years ago...

[-] 60d@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

You're going to hell for this 🤣🤣🤣

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I hope I am! I named my dog Lucifer 😈

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

I wish I had your restraint. EVERY time!

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

First three times I got the wheel it triggered.

I didn't understand the memes.

Then it never happened again.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

But poly is going to fix all my problems!! At least thats what the OF model told me.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

I don't care what the dev says: that thing ain't 1:4.

[-] princessnorah 39 points 3 months ago

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 16 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 months ago

It's rated M because of moderators poor understanding of 'gambling'

[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 19 points 3 months ago

Yet still youtube allows lootbox opening videos
