Where did the whole "Pokemon is devil worship" idea from the late '90s and early 2000s come from? Growing up in rural United States, I remember hearing it all over the place, but I never understood why people believed it.
>>739441564That's because the game had evolution in it.
>>739441564Probably from Kadabra.
>>739441564It was just an excuse to rain on the kid's parade. Old people hate what young people are into. It's a tale as old as time.
>>739442042Plus the type system having Ghost, Psychic and Dark.
>>739441564because old people don't like the way young people have fun. that's why they said rock music was satan, that's why DnD was satan, that's why they say pokemon is satan, that's why harry potter was satan, and if they still had their way then tiktok would also be satan.
>>739441564I started it
>>739442042And what happens in the game isn't even really "evolution". Maybe Game Freak should've called it "Metamorphosis" or something.
>>739442403>that's why harry potter was satanI mean, Christianity doesn't like magic very much.
>>739442649>Christianity doesn't like magic very much.I was raised Christian, but I never understood this. Where in the Bible does it say "magic is bad"? And besides, the stories were never meant to be anything more than fiction.
>>739441564Church being afraid of something eclipsing them they need a new witch hunt to fill up the seats target pokemon, blows up in their face horribly especially when the Pop say's "I see no issue with this stop acting like a bunch of women."
>>739442649that's cuz Christianity only allows faith builds. Catholicism allows for Science and faith builds
>>739441564We had a comic book store/card shop in my town and the owner refused to carry pokemon or any other "jap crap" in his store this was in the late 90s early 2000s right at peak popularity. He closed his store in May 2001 6 months after remodeling it.
>>739442743Exodus 22:18 is the most famous one. There is also a story about a woman talking to dead spirits and getting punished by God, but I can't remember where it was.
>>739441564Christian theology is just fucked, they believe everything is a demon except God and Jesus. Even angels are demons or they can be, even humans can be demons, and humans can 'have' demons attacking them constantly despite loving Jesus more than anyone.
>>739441564Why was polywhirl chosen for so much key art back then?
>>739441564There was no satanic panic OP, and pokémon was never banned in AmericaSome cable faggot complained about the current thing being bad and years later some leftists blew it out of proportion to justify censorship today (well YOU did it in 80s) aswell as play at being victims of religious persecution despite growing up in the safest and arguably most free society that had ever existed at that point. The alternative was blame their parents which they'd already become, or the state, which doesn't help justify censorship.Another fun story they tell is the time the church banned street fighter, when actually it didn't get banned and it was a small group of democract soccer moms who didn't like that you could hit a womantl;dr boomers are liars, leftists are assholes
>>739442743>And besides, the stories were never meant to be anything more than fiction.That's not true
>>739442743A handful of retarded people can't separate fiction from reality and sincerely believe a franchise is trying to completely subvert and destroy the fragile, impressionable minds of their youth. I can do this for any franchise or movie. I can say Terminator, Aliens and Predator encourage gun violence, swearing and sex without marriage. Nevermind that Harry is Christian and wizards believe in an afterlife and the series revolves around love, friendship and fighting evil wizards and monsters. People will say the same thing about games too. How many people whined that Doom and Halo were ultraviolent and inspiring serial killers even though you kill monstrous aliens who want to rape or devour humanity? Its no different from parents back in the day telling their kids in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's that the genre of music they listen to is evil and corrupting because its counterculture and telling them not to die in wars. Eventually we'll all be the same way too.
>>739441564Old people moved on from music/movies are bad for children to the "newish" Video Games media in the 90s
>>739441564It being the unending obsessive focus of Western society for 30 years straight should tell you all you need to know. And what are the fruits of the obsession?
>>739442649As far back as the 10th century Christians were denying magic exists and saying it's all bullshit and nothing to worry about
>>739441564They were actually aware of Giratina's existence long before us.
>>739442649Actual Christianity (Catholicism) denies the existence of Magic and instead calls it superstitious non sense at best and demonic possession at worse. Instead Catholics believe in Scientific studies to describe the natural world and we are to use Reason to ignore superstitious nonsense.
jfc the board really is choke full of ESL and redditors
>>739443341which the book explicitly warns as the behavior of pharisees aka jews but no one ever reads the book anyway >>739443532'licks aren't Christians, they're Paulists
>>739441564Boomers are always seething about Japan. They sensed they were about to get owned again like they did by Japanese car manufacturers.
>>739442926>talk to dead person>get punished for itDoesn't that imply you should never pray to Jesus?
>>739442583Metamorphosis is too hard to spell for kids, evolution was already pushing it.Saying your Pokemon metamorphed instead of evolved also doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
>>739442649The existence of any explanation other than "god did it" threatens their nonsense beliefs
>>739442649>>739442743>>739442926>>739445195>>739443341>>739443532>christians deny magic>but somehow this brown guy from the middle east can multiply bread and fish to feed over 1000 people, resurrect, cure illnesses>not magicalI know religious people are retarded, but holy fuck.

Conservatives do that with anything culturally popular like Harry Potter and Transgenderism
>>739441564Its just what boomers did back then. Anything they didn't get was devil worship. What ever happened to these people?
>>739445737>The Pokemon trading card game is distributed by WIZARDS of the coast
>>739445839they still do it retard. who do you think trump freaks are?
>>739442042Democrats and Rinos were using it as a talking point because the church still seemed like a good method of pushing big government bullshit unaware that Martin Luther, and the bible itself informs people to be wary of false saviors who seek to exploit you for material gain.Instead of admitting to this as a problem, as well as the issues going on with the game industry, they decided to portray themselves as victims of a bigoted Church and they totally had nothing to do with it.Same thing with the establishment of the ESRB when parents just wanted a way to get basic information about what was in a game and it was seen as a powergrabbing opportunity that they totally had nothing to do with now, and are actually heroes.
>>739442583Evolution means growth/change. You know the term existed before Darwin, correct?
>>739446014Cool that my post is replying to a post I didn't reply toFuck you 4chan.
>>739442649>Christianity doesn't like magic very much.Where was all of this fuss in the ‘60s when Disney had Merlin in Sword in the Stone and the ‘40s when they had Yensid in Fantasia?
>>739442967I think he was satoshi taijiri's favorite pokemon, and besides that before the anime came out and made pikachu the go-to they kinda just used whatever to promote the brand. It's kinda interesting to look back at some of the earliest promotions, like KFC having a set of plushes that by modern standards makes no damn sense. No Pikachu, no Eevee, not even a Jigglypuff or Poliwhirl.
>>739446470Becuase its not about magic. Its old people being left out of something and resenting kids for it.
>>739441564Makes you think people can't possibly believe that stuff but then people today can't tell fiction isn't reality either. Then yet other people larp that they're those people and call it ""bait"". I'll never know if anyone believes in anything.
Funny thing is, the bible says to watch out for pharmakeia, which is modern medicineLook at the top of that magazine>paying less for prescriptions

>>739442743Something about miracles only being performed by god/jesus from what I remember from my school. Idolatry or some shit.
>>739446773Verse? Not doubting you I'm just curious
>>739445526I love Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself but the bible is clearly mistranslated, there's people who worship Him then you have bible worshipers who go around and tell you you'll go to hell for loving the wrong person.
>>739442649i like that there are instances of pagan magic being real and working in the bible even if it's depicted as inferior to jew magiclike the pharoah's magicians transforming things into snakes
>>739441564it was popular
>>739441564>Where did the whole "Pokemon is devil worship" idea from the late '90s and early 2000s come from?This was something I would hear people talk about all the time. How these crazy Christians hated Pokemon and Harry Potter because they were satanic. People would talk about it a lot, but I never met a single person who hated Pokemon or Harry Potter for being satanic. I think it was all just lies.
>>739441564Don't get me wrong, I still think that liking Pokemon is devil worship, being a fan of the main games makes you dumber. Boring mess. However, we need more pinball.
>>739447693No, that definitely happened. My good boy christian school banned Harry Potter books from the school library because of it.They were fine with pokemon though, besides banning the cards since kids kept stealing them from each other.Incidentally I also knew a kid whose mom wouldn't let her watch Spongebob because she thought he was gay with Patrick.
>>739441564Because evolution = Darwin’s theory = satanic plot to drive people away from God. Evangelicals are sub 80 IQ OP
>>739447914>Incidentally I also knew a kid whose mom wouldn't let her watch Spongebob because she thought he was gay with Patrick.
>>739443058>there was no satanic panicThere was, you just didn’t grown up in a place where the culture was particularly religious, probably in Californian or some coastal area where money is people’s religion. Stupid faggot.
>>739443174>Eventually we'll all be the same way tooI won't let myself become that. I've already side eyed other aging millennials for freaking out about kids liking kid stuff.
>>739441564They knew that in the future they will be accused of doing satanic things, so they tried to discredit this form of criticism in advance by creating fraudulent campaigns aimed at things kids enjoyed.
>>739446014>>739446148Oh and I guess for anyone still struggling with this, I know teenagers are here.Recognize that factions and ideologies are two different things and people WILL exploit being able to equivocate between the two.
>>739441564Boomers believe that if kids liked something and the idea wasn't put in their head by their parents, then that's proof someone made a deal with the devil to create it.
>>739441564>"MUH CHRISTKEKS">I look at who was trying to ban videogames>lieberman>clintonhuh...anywaydeath to troonsdeath to tankiesdeath to leftists

>>739441564>The Pokemon games wouldn't exist without SMT>R/B/Y make several occult references (which were censored in the west).There was some truth to it.
>>739442649>>739442743I feel like I must randomly pick up books at the library just to be able to post links to them much later on.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_the_Magician
>>739443174I say this and do this.
>>739448572Evangelical Christian’s did and do prohibit their kids from being exposed to “anti-Christian” media, I know I was there and one of them
>>739441564Pokemon is fun. Good Christian children don't have fun. They sit in church bored out of their skulls, neither saying nor doing anything they're not told, because having any personal attachment for any culture other than your church and your parents is satanic.This is the mindset of probably half of baby boomers. They think they're finally free to do whatever they want because they're "old enough" and everyone else should sit down and wait their turn.
My mom wouldn't let me watch Samurai Jack because of Aku.
>>739450896You’re moms a bitch and you missed out on kino
It's not really about literal magic, it's a matter of poisoning your mind with magical thinking and obsessions with fantasy. That understanding is far too esoteric for the average retard though. Plenty of us can separate reality from fantasy with no issue, but you don't need to look far on 4chan to see what that kind of obsession can potentially do to a nigga.
>>739442953>everything is a demon except God and JesusSMT
>>739451225based tbdesu
>>739446470>Christianity doesn't like magic very muchWhich is very confusing when basically all of their beliefs are rooted in the concept of magic.
LOS NINTENDOS
>>739447869>However, we need more pinballI agreePokemon pinball is so good
>>739451820Because magic is linked to the divine, and only blessed individuals are supposed to be able to perform it, such as the pope. Otherwise you're blaspheming or demonic.
>>739441564Some people are that petty and believe "they" have the right to control what people do like moral crusaders. After all video games will "poison" people's minds (not theirs though, they're always above it). Like >>739451225. That's why you see so many leftists or religiousfags, I guess.
>friend's grandma is a jenovah witness>she's there taking care of him while his mom whore's around or whatever>everything is sinful, evil and demonic in the old lady's view>talk to him about pokemon where she can hear>refer to the critters as "monsters" and alike>"nice flame demon. let me see the electric devil">activate grandma's antidemon mode>she gets in the way of friends' pokémon watching, gaming, etcMan, I was such an ass, kek.
>>739445907Why do boomers do this? I still see it to this day, they think they have some "gotcha moment" if they see you have something like "evil" or "magician" in your username.
>>739453867Boomers are mostly semi-retarded from years of lead exposure and rotting their brain with cable television. They’re smart ones keep their mind sharp with hobbies/reading/gardening and aren’t as retarded
The only thing my family prohibited from watching was Ranma, and that only made me feel more curious.
>>739444232>>739445839>>739448509>>739450891>>739453867>>739454608Ah yes, the BABY BOOMERS. It's only old people who think everything is evil and satanic!
>>739454952who's gonna tell them?
>>739441564Arabs were convinced Pokemon was anti-Islamic.>Japanese embassies throughout the region have received inquiries from parents and officials who had heard that Pokemon was Japanese for “I am a Jew.”https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-apr-24-mn-54861-story.html
>>739441564>Where did the whole "Pokemon is devil worship" idea from the late '90s and early 2000s come from? Growing up in rural United States, I remember hearing it all over the place, but I never understood why people believed it.Combination fundie publicity stunt and war on autism. Mon actually does include some portrayals of Abrahamic and occultist mythology that are guaranteed to draw the ire of rednecks, as well as some characters and monsters that are overtly designed to be sexy to people with weird interests, so it was always going to happen. You're going to witness a lot of Mon-bashing from guys like Dunkey over the coming years when they decide that it has too many weirdo mind control people attached to it.
>>739445526The Bible actually acknowledges the existence of magic outside of God's miracles. Most Christians in the western world still would tell you that magic is not real, and also probably that supernatural miracles do not take place any more (which is called "cessationist"). But the Bible itself contains several key instances of non-Jews and non-Christians performing supernatural "magic" feats.>Old Testament:>Pharoah's Sorcerers (Exodus 7:11-12)These guys throw down sticks that turn into snakes (and get swallowed up by Aaron's own staff-snake. Kind of like a pokemon battle.)>The Medium/Witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28:3-25)The medium claims to see the ghost of Samuel when King Saul goes and speaks to her.>New Testament:>Elymas Bar-Jesus (Acts 13:6-11)>Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:9-24)These two are less clear. There's no actual mention of what they were doing, just that people considered them to be sorcerers. Simon becomes a Christian because even he is amazed by the miracles that Philip performs though.
>>739441564My best friend at the time would ignore me and I would play Nintendo DS Pokeman fapping to well... you know.
I can't believe 4chan let itself believe that evangelical fundamentalists were successfully defanged as a cultural/political force. They never let up on their crusade towards theocracy for one second.
>>739443058>There was no satanic panic OPYou didn't grow up in an area or with someone who believed in it. There absolutely was. My mom believed and still believes that DnD is pure evil because it had dragons (Satan) in it and magic, Magic the Gathering was satanic because of obvious reasons, and Harry Potter taught you actual real life magic and J.K. Rowling was trying to get children to accept paganism while teaching children real life spells to cast.To this day she still calls Halloween "The devil's day" and is pissed people celebrate it unable to understand that no normal person is worshiping the devil by running around in costumes trick or treating (I even went TnT my entire childhood WITH her so I have no idea how she even got into this mindset after I grew out of it). She also cannot wrap her head around other cultures having different belief systems using Christian iconography or using it as a backdrop for their setting. I remember going to Best Buy with her, she saw El Shaddai on the shelves, and couldn't come to terms with the boxart and name not being wholly Christian yet made by Japan. Same deal with Christmas, she cannot wrap her head around it being a pagan holiday turned Christian to convert pagans to Christianity and can't grasp that the Norse people used to believe in both paganism and Christianity at the same time while Christians were converting them because it fundamentally goes against how the faith works.Funnily enough, she never cared at all about Pokemon and to this day still loves Pikachu. She took me to all the theatrical releases (First movie, 2000, and the Entei one I think? Can't remember if Entei was in theaters or not.) with us going to First like four times while it was in theaters. I even brought up to her the whole evolution thing one point when we were talking about why she didn't like Harry Potter but liked Pokemon and she handwaved it away, and when I said PJP2 allowed both of them she said "He's only human, not God".
>>739443174>he has the gall to say this after 25 years of hindsight and modern media openly admitting it exists to propagandise the public towards certain political alignments
>>739453867i haven't seen any widespread panic like this in decades, not really since harry potter
>>739454928i mean that show has actual tits in it
My boomer family though pokemon and magic cards were evil and japanese
>>739456432why is the chair behind his bed
>>739456372I've seen people unironically argue watching certain media during a certain age range makes you trans. It's more like autistic people are drawn to certain visual stimuli, and more likely to suffer a disconnect with their own bodies.
>>739456054Just last year a co-worker was mentioning how her son won't let the grandkids go trick-or-treating because Satan
>>739453383We had a family of Javoah witness at our elementary school.As a result of their parents, the annual Halloween Parade was forced to be called a "Literary Parade" about dressing up as your favorite characters in books (not that you couldn't just wear a Halloween costume anyway, it was just a label for the school to avoid issues, but stupid as hell regardless)
>>739453383>friend's grandma is a jenovah witnessDid she make it long enough to witness the FF7 remakes?
>>739456482It's his pokemon t-shirt display stand
>>739448201yeah 100% thismy sister went on a tirade to her kids/my nieces about some shit they likedand I had to stop her and be like yo, I think these are fucking dumb too, but its what they like, and kids will end up getting into shit that is dumb because their peers are into it and they want to socialize with others, just relax and let them have interestsI think she just sees badly because she did some really dumb shit growing up and just assumes everyone else makes equally retarded bad choices, I have to wonder if everyone who ends up like this were just retarded kids.
>>739441564Two types of hicks hated Pokemon for two different reasons.There are the genuine religious nutcases. They didn't like that it had Evolution in it, but it was already a nonstarter with it's themes of mysticism and magic and shit.Then there's the hicks that hate it because they endlessly seethe that there are less of them than city slickers and that some tantrums from the south during the founding of the nation afforded them the only political power they will ever consistently possess (the senate). Since it has evolution and they were trying to keep evolution out of schools, they knew a popular kids game about evolution would just meant the battle was lost in a generation no matter what they did (they were right, get rekt hicks, lmao)
>>739456054>and when I said PJP2 allowed both of them she said "He's only human, not God".Surprisingly, Catholicism should be more open about different cultures, interpretations of God, atheism, evolution, science, ayyys, and history. I was reading the Catechism the other day and it's sad how many of them definitely haven't read the book. Dammit I've seen priests talk not negatively about superhero movies and vidya. But also>anon if you think that dinosaurs were real you're going to hellI hated my evangelical childhood >El ShaddaiDid you like it? I thought that it looked nice but i wasn't sure if it was japjank
>>739456482Average pokemon go freak
>>739455746Isn't most of exodus about the fact the egyptian gods ARE real, but the hebrews God is just better than they are?
>>739441564Basically because Pokemon came from Japan, and boomers were still butthurt about Pearl Harbor and how Toyota and Honda were beating Ford and Chevy.
>>739441564>it's an addiction>paying less for prescriptionsthe absolute irony
>>739448041NAYRT but I can confirm that this was a topic of debate back in the day, I remember seeing it in a magazine when I was waiting to see my doctor for an exam when I was young. People probably just recognize that they're just whimsical friends now, but seeing two male characters so close to each other like that really confused the boomers.
>>739442743I think it was because of Solomon turning away from Hebrew teachings and learning of foreign magics and religions. It is kinda retarded becuaee Jesus and other prophets were accused of magic.
>>739445839They got drowned out by the internet, I think. That kind of grifting only worked when access to mass media was gatekept and they had the access.
>>739441564Where I lived (California) it was when the card game came out that people really seemed to start believing that, because to older people it was reminiscent of spell casting and tarot and shit. It's the same reason back in the day people though Dungeons and Dragons was satan shit. They simply didn't understand what they were looking at and all they could notice was what they perceived as red flags.Although now looking at what most of the kids who were into Pokemon back in the day grew up to be I have to wonder if the people calling it satanic weren't completely wrong.
>>739458082No, there’s a part where they have a competition to see whose god can light a fire and of course Christian God wins (because the other guy isn’t real). Other gods aren’t acknowledged except very vaguely in the 10 commandments as “no other gods before me”
>>739442856>Catholicism allows for Science and faith builds>make science and faith build>make observation>pope casts blazing stakeHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>739458220Most of them didn't even know it was from Japan. Everyone at my church thought it was from China.
>>739443174>Eventually we'll all be the same way too.I should certainly hope not, because I knew long ago that I fucking despised generationalism and still do today.
>>739442403TikTok might be Satan.
Everyone ITT complaining about how old people looked down on kids having fun with pokemon probably also hates how kids today play RobloxYou're no different than they were
>>739459186Kinda different anon. Come on, you know why, don't play dumb. Plus there's literal, objective proof that Roblox is a pedophile playground
>>739442967He was supposed to be the mascot of the series.
>>739459186boomers hated Pokemon because they thought it was demonicI hate Roblox because it transformed from a cute Lego building game into a casino for children
>>739459269>pedophiles go to where the kids hang outwtf?!?!
>>739442329>>739442403/thread/>>739454952>Ah yes, the BABY BOOMERS. It's only old people who think everything is evil and satanic!Yes.>>739456054Oddly enough, my parents were okay with Pokemon. Probably because it kept me busy.My mother thought everything else that I was remotely interested in was devil worship though.
>>739459321It's a bit more than that when they find out white suprem groups like the O9A use it to indoctrinate kids or otherwise push them into committing school shootings. There's actual full on custom games where it's basically just an indoctrination gallery of porn and gore that go completely unremoved.
>>739459321A big problem in Roblox, more than most platforms and fandoms yes
>>739456967I don't think anime makes people trans, but obviously almost all trannies like anime. it's not hard to make the connection.
>>739441564I've been wondering that for decades since I asked a neighbor kid in like 2001 if they played or watched it, and they said their parents wouldn't let them "because they don't believe in God." I'm eternally curious as to what information nexus these parents were drawing from before the internet was mainstream.>>739442329My beautiful wife that I just met having finally read the vn
>>739448041>>739458556it's still a thing, i have a little cousin whose parents are ultra religious and is banned from watching spongebob for the same reason, it's the kind of thing i'd find funny if the parents werent complete schizos about it
>>739442395Rather arbitrary for a culture that celebrated Ghostbusters and Casper years before Pokémon even released. Also Dark types came out in gen 2, it wasn't part of the initial demon accusations.
>>739459687>DnD is where they groom children into learning how to use magic for real
>>739456967I'm trans but don't have that disconnect, I love my body and wouldn't slice and dice it, I'm not sure if anything in my childhood caused it, I watched a lot of the 90s Pokemon anime on VHS. If something did cause it, it would have to be in my childhood since I felt this way since puberty. I can't associate with anyone who calls themselves "trans" also, I feel like everyone who calls themselves that since 2015 isn't.
>>739461176Are you sure you're not just a femboy/tomboy?
>>739461605Eh, it's complicated, I'm a biological male also. I see myself as both.
>>739460178Do you get off on being an obtuse moron?
>>739461698Sounds like "genderfluid" to me in that case, but I'm not exactly up to date on what those legbutt schizos are overcomplicating in recent years.
>>739441564some different protestant groups in america were pants on head retarded and its where like 90% of the anti christian arguments come from because people talk about what these american christian groups believe which is basically scientology tier schizo babble.
>>739454952Only? No. But they were absolutely a super loud part of general American culture at the time, especially among those who were going nuts over Pokemon.
>>739445195Jesus isnt dead
>>739461828Yeah, it's just labels at the end of the day, kek'd at legbutt schizos
Christians are fucking retarted
>>739441564Americans got their religion mixed up with their nationalism so when they got upset about foreign things taking root they expressed that through religion.Maybe if they wanted Japan to be Christian they shouldn't have dropped an atomic bomb on the one place in the country with any significant Christian population.
>>739461996Evangelicals, you mean.
>>739442583You're mistakenly assuming that the people perpetuating satanic panic would do any amount of research into the things they're upset about.
>>739445737I knew exactly who this was going to be before clicking the link and i was right.
>>739459902>My beautiful wife that I just met having finally read the vnHope you're enjoying the read.
>>739441564Pokemon was the zenith of the generational gap of video game comprehension between baby boomers abd millenials. Boomers are just retarded, its that simple
>>739442190Thats a five pointed star not sixAhh who am i kidding. Boomers dont know what stanism looks like (its jews)
>>739462162I very much did, just finished the last route yesterday and am about to start the next vn in the series whose name I cannot remember although I downloaded it already.
>>739462407Who's route did you enjoy the most?
>>739441564>Where did the whole "Pokemon is devil worship" idea from the late '90s and early 2000s come from?american christians, cute monsters bad but giving all of my taxes to murderous rapist jews that literally eat children good
>>739462678That's tricky, I'd have to replay the main routes again for a better opinion because I was still trying to figure out what was happening. For that reason and maybe also recency bias I was more invested in the storylines of the mansion routes. The twins' routes in particular put me in a state of pic related and I couldn't stop reading late at night
>>739462048TradCaths have entered the chat
>>739463339>The twins' routes in particular put me in a state of pic related and I couldn't stop reading late at nightYeah, it's quite the gut punch on a first time playthrough.
>>739457860I've put off buying it several times (That Best Buy visit, I saw one for PS3 a year or two later and still shrugged it off, then LRG's remaster print recently) but I'm definitely interested in it. I know it's just a Gnostic take on stuff because that seems to be what pulls Japan in all the time but most things I saw near the original release (and in a thread or two here when I think I brought it up to someone?) said it was your usual Japanese low budget game and just okay but most of the appeal is in the visuals. The visuals look pretty great.
>>739442967The spiral is supposed to hypnotize you into buying his game.
>>739448041Funny, parents in the 2020s won't let their kids watch Spongebob because the writers said their homo crackship headcanon wasn't real.
>>739441564>I never understood why people believed itNobody did. Pokemon was extremely successful and millions of kids in christian households were playing and watching it. Honestly, the revisionism and exaggeration of the satanic panic is just reddit fedora atheist propaganda. Most people and christians did not care.
>>739463473Poor girl just needed some sincere love and foreplay. How are the other entries in the franchise? I'm going to read them anyway but I'd like to hear opinions.
>>739465260Nah, it was definitely a thing. Anything Pokemon related was flat out banned at my schools. I distinctly remember one of my friends in school had all her Pokemon and Harry Potter stuff thrown out specifically because her Christian parents got sick of it
>>739465260While my parents didn't mind it at all the schools were absolutely against it. A friend of mine had his imported gen 2 cards (I think he got them at a flea market) taken by the teacher and reprimanded when he tried showing them off to us, kids who brought their GBPs and GBCs to class got them taken and reprimanded even if they were only playing it at recess, and I had a few friends both at public and private schools who either had the same treatment I did or were only allowed to run around or play on their school's playing area during recess and nothing else and if they saw them trading Pokemon cards or playing games they'd either get their stuff confiscated or parents called for it.
>>739465431>PLUS+DISCIt's a fan disc that contains some short stories and behind the scenes development info for Tsukihime. If you enjoyed the original VN, then this will be a treat for you.>Kagetsu TohyaIt's a chose your own adventure style VN with a time loop gimmick. Every loop brings new choices for you to explore. It's a pretty long game that's super non linear, but don't look up any guides. It's best experienced blind. Only use a guide once you unlocked most of the content and want to clean up a few obscure scenes you may have missed.
>>739465847>picI'm glad that I'm not the only one disappointed that she didn't have a route.I did PLUS+DISC earlier today, and we got to see our special boy beyond just an eyeless hentai protagonist which was neat. I misunderstood the definition of "fan disc" as like some sort of ascended fanmade material (but I was happy for more content regardless), until the portion where they started showing concept art and I realized I was retarded.>KagetsuThat's what I've got on the docket next, I'll be sure to go blind like you said. Thanks Anon
It's kind of funny how Pokemon was the target of "satanic panic" when SMT and Devil Children were a thing, which was quite literally what Christians believed Pokemon was. Yes, I know barely anyone knew what it was in the West. But it being right under everyone's noses over in Japan is just a funny thought.
>>739441564about 70% of americans are literally p zombies and not sapient
>>739466409>I'm glad that I'm not the only one disappointed that she didn't have a route.Our girl is finally getting her own route in Red Garden, the sequel to the Tsukihime Remake. Just gotta wait for the release date announcement...ha ha....
>>739442042>>739442395The nutjobs calling pokemon demonic didn't even look into it that deep. They'd show pictures of Jigglypuff and Pikachu and screech "THIS IS LITERALLY SATAN".It was just a bunch of old fucks who spent their entire childhood going to church and kicking dirt upset that kids now had something cool to play with.
>>739466476That's a generous percentage, I'm moving out of here soon thankfully.
>>739466735Just out of curiosity, is a Muslim mayor in the UK considered a Brit? Secondly, what does Rev 3:9 mean? Third, why does the lying talmud say what it does about Christ? If there was a fourth thing I had to say it'd be to ask you to show your nose.
>>739443058>leftistsYawn.Like others said, it was a real thing and I saw it as late as 2016 with some co-workers calling Halloween a devil's holiday, the woman in particular a cross-eyed boomer, and this was in Georgia, a massive enclave of bible-thumpers. I got relatives who became overtly superstitious and 'righteous' with age and it's annoying when you talk around them and they get triggered by certain words and start ranting about the problems in the world. All he said was rap battle and you go on and cry about war and violence and evil in the world, like shut the fuck up auntie.
>>739465260The confidence one must have to use the term "revisionism" in one's own revisionism, especially for a time period recent enough to be exhaustively and readily documented.
>>739441564Republicans and other right wing trash hated video and tabletop games and demanded massive censorshipPokemon was very popular because of anime, but anime is something that adults can't really understand especially why kids would love it
>>739441564This magazine cover goes so hard. It probably made Pokemon a thousand time more popular than it was. I hope I ever find out who made it.
>>739465708That doesn't sound like "this shit is banned for being demonic" that just sounds like teachers not wanting kids to be playing videogames/card games while at school because its distracting which is a normal kid experience. I knew tons of kids who had their gameboys, tomogotchis and trading cards taken away and none of it was pokemon/satanism related.
>>739467041It's just random promotional images from Stadium
>>739467041Compare it to the new ones where they just slap Pikachu_2004.png on the cover and call it a day.
>>739465260my aunt freaked out at her kids but it was more the animal abuse angle rather than religion
>>739467041It was at this odd point in time where Poliwhirl was really popular, you could find a lot of merch of it in the early days
>>739441564I was like 8 or 9 when pokemon came out over here, and honestly idk what they were mad about. We just made fun of them for being dumb.
>>739442583The Japanese word is 進化 (shinka) which is literally evolution.
>>739467129In my school's case it was a mix of Pokemon being viewed as a bad thing morally and for the disruption thing. For my friends' schools it was more the latter than the former.
>>739441564never saw that but some soccer moms threw a fit over mortal kombat blood
>>739441564Everything's devilry to Bible thumpers who've never read the damn thing. Even Doom got the same treatment despite the game being about obliterating Hellspawn.
I went to a private Christian school when I was little, and we were told that Pokemon was evil and Harry Potter was the work of the devil because of "witchcraft", but we were a also told that Santa rode a sleigh driven by eight flying reindeer to every single home on the entire planet in one night.
>>739443058>alt right zoomer who sucks assmongoloid cock tells others how it was in the 00s
>>739458951git gud
>>739442743There nothing in actual bible about it, both catholics and orthodox christianity had a very simple concept for two thousands years>God have monopoly on magic, so all miracles can come only from God>Witches and everyone else are just mentally ill degenerates or pagansSystem was simple and worked great until plague killed most of educated humanity, and church priests were replaced with retards who couldn't even read latin
>>739441564Was this just a christian thing? I grew up catholic and my parents didn't give a shit about Pokemon or anime or whatever. Only until i heard Metallica and started doing the "horns up" did my mom start saying shit
It feels like Millennials got traumatized growing up in the GOP's "Walmart Jesus Big Oil" era (Pokemon is Satan, 9/11, Iraq War, cancelling the Dixie Chicks, Jack Thompson, Tea Party, Fox News, Jesus Camp, Glenn Beck, chain emails of Obama being a Kenyan Muslim). They can't comprehend Gen Z being right-wing because a Fox News Boomer is their idea of right-wing.
>>739466640I mean I was already going to play the original first, but when I heard the remake didn't have all the original routes I was baffled. What's taking so long? Fun to be a long tortured fan of another franchise dipping into a new one with similar decades long torture I guess.
>>739469781Catholicism is a subset of Christianity. Different subsets are the ones that majorly got upset with these, especially Evangelicalism, which is a subset of Protestantism. Me and my family are Catholic and my parents never had a problem with Pokemon.
>>739470007>What's taking so long?FGO has made Nasu fat and lazy. The wait is killing me. Twi-Lumina's announcement is filling me with a bit of hope that Red Garden is around the corner, though.
>>739469781It was from protestants mostly, they always were weirdo heresy
Weird question, but does anyone remember that old Pokémania site that catalogued every event with dates and pics? I swear it was still around in like 2005, and now it’s just gone. It even covered that whole ‘devil worship panic’ nonsense, but I can’t find the site anywhere anymore.
>>739444017Fuck you we were here first you prot shits
>>739441564American boomer brainrot. These "christian" retards pick a new thing every time some piece of media makes it big and label it devil worship and plenty of other buzzwords, meanwhile the Vatican defended pokemon for teaching good morals and the meaning of friendship to kids
>>739469781It's the protestant schizos, specifically the American flavour.
>>739469781>Was this just a christian thing?It was a protestant thing. All those 80s-00s moral panics were always started by protestantsPope John Paul II had nothing but good things to say about pokemon>" Pokémon encourages its young players to think creatively to overcome challenges without resorting to violence. [...] the game tells simple stories that allow children to immerse themselves directly into the story through role-playing adventures. "
>>739441564I came from the United States. Biggest fucking retards on God's green Earth.
>>739471054>I came from the United States.Okay, but did we really need to know this?
>>739455109Bro I’m wheezing. Pokémon turning into "I am a Jew" is one hell of a leap.
>>739470685This might have what you're looking for:>https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/category/2-event-gallery/What I've been looking for forever is any article about the freakout that one of the GF bigwigs had about Pokemon porn which resulted in a bunch of artists getting C&Ds and having their twitters obliterated. I'm pretty sure they considered it an embarrassment and spent money to obliterate the incident.
One teacher I had scolded a diehard Digimon fan classmate because she thought that Digimon sounded like demon. It was pretty weird
>>739456428Yeah that wasn't the problem, the problem was that Ranma got tits
>>739442042Kek
>>739471052And yet the Bishops under him didn't care and still went on about how it was bad for the kids. Saw it all the time in church. And that kind of behavior is why there's several splinter Catholic sects in the church that are claiming the pope is too gay for them.The Catholics are and were just as bad as the Protestants when it came to media and censorship.It must be these Brazilian/zoomers that weren't around that are pushing the "le based Tradcaths" as if they weren't doing the same old Satanic panic nonsense as everyone else back in the day.
>>739441564gooks are nephilim devils
>>739470137How long has it been since the original announcement was made? What is the source of that
>>739441564My aunt gave a christian magazine to "educate me" on why Pokémon was evil after I came out to her as a huge fan, telling her how excited I was at Pokémon Stadium. I remember that the article used this Abra card to illustrate that Pokémon had psychic powers, which fall under "divination", then the bible verse condemning all forms of witchcraft.Also the "Pikachu means 100 times more powerful than God in japanese".
>>739474254>What is the source of thatIf you're talking about the picture, it's from the Tsukihime Manga.
>>73946978199% of the time you see some insane Christian shit it's specifically American evangelicals, who aren't even Christians but crypto-Jews.
>>739474504Evangelicals preach "born-again" Christianity, which emphasizes obsessing over religion in your daily life as the source and reason for all your actions. TV Evangelists were pretty famous back then, and the sect still holds influence over rural parts of America.
>>739445526>fictional stories written by uneducated brown people over 2000 years ago in a time where word of mouth was king, so stories shared amongst people go through multiple games of telephoneYes, religion is retarded
>>739474356That's what I meant - I avoided the manga material up to this point but I am interested. Just wanted to exhaust the ingame choices first. Thanks for answering all my questions across these hours Anon
>>739441564First time a Japanese franchise had completely dominated the kids collective headspace and Christians live by moving on from one scapegoat to another.
>>739474696No problem. The manga doesn't hold back and shows the full rape scene. I would post the whole thing, but that would get me banned.
>>739474715I'll never forget watching "Pokemon the First Movie" and upon leaving the theater my dad just muttering "those japs laughed their way right to the bank" to no one in particular
>>739469847tbf zoomer podcasters and influencers can be just as deranged as the boomer newcasters. I'm curious if they'll still vote right after Trump reneged on literally every single thing he promised to get their vote.
>>739454952This but unironically
>>739441564>one look at PoketendiesThey were right
>>739442743Some people feel that anything that distracts away from the bible is bad. But there are some that say things like magic relate to the "magi/magus" which is related to some of old Semitic, Aramaic and Babylonian religious stuff which they deem is also blasphemous
>>739442403In the case of rock music, that's why dancing was targeted.The music itself, nah. It was a problem with expression and sexuality against the norms of the time. Look at Elvis. Nobody born post-1960 can look at the guy on stage and go "this is obscene!" We just don't get what the problem is. But back then, his hip gyrations were considered perverted and threatening.
>>739461763It's just another leftist running interference.

>>739456054>To this day she still calls Halloween "The devil's day"She's an incredibly stupid Christian, because October 31 is All Saint's Eve, the day when all of the saints without their own specific day are celebrated. She sounds like she reads Chick Tracts.
>>739441564Basically American Christianity is the faith was divorced from decades of theological discussion and studies so as a result you have actual fundies taking the Old Testament literally whereas centuries old monks actually didn'tCombine that with Red Scare emphasizing how the enemies had no religion and you get a recipe for disasterBut really the most damming element of America's bastardized version of Christianity is the emphasis on doomsday prophecyThe rapture isn't actually a thing in the Bible (there's Revelations sure but the rapture as a concept was something made up by a fringe cult and the idea got popular because let's face it, it does sound pretty cool)But anyways, American Fundies have this idea that the world of the world is coming soon, at least within their lifetimes so they try to assume everything around them is some sort of test and that they (and their kids) will live long enough for the end of the world to come and for them to be selected and lifted into heaven because they managed to keep themselves "pure"This also has to do with why they support Israel so much because they take Revelations literally and thinks a literal state of Israel existing is key to Armageddon being accelerated
>>739456432
>>739465260It's always so cute how children and /v/irgins insist that things that are incredibly well-documented never actually happened and anyone who says they did happen are whatever faggoty combination of random words are popular at the moment.
>>739476180If what you say is true, then holy fuck.Ban American Christianity.
>>739475034people who feel betrayed by trump aren't going to start voting dem, they just won't votethe GOP will get destroyed in the midterms and probably the next presidential election, just like the tories did in england recentlythe real question comes from the difference between the american and british systems: in britain reform has essentially replaced the tories and is going to win big soon more likely than not. but the US doesn't really have a system where a third party can succeed like that... so will the GOP reform on a different nucleus? will a third party still succeed? or will right-wingers who aren't just delusional trump cultists (and people who have given up even thinking about politics and just always vote GOP) stay home AGAIN in the next elections, building up further resentment?
>>739442583EVOLUTION IS A MYSTERY
>>739473934There's over 500 sects of Christianity and every single one of them is insane retarded bullshit.
>>739476370>>739476180you seem to forget somethingthe US has among the greatest diversity of christian denominations in the world simply because it has never had a state religionthere is no "american christianity"there are denominations and themes which originated in the US or hold more sway in the US than elsewhere but there is no "one american doctrine"t. not religious just not retarded enough to classify a thousand distinct views all the same way just because I want to hate on america
>>739441564Western Jews in the American media pushed the pokemon satanic propaganda angle so they could get in and infest the IP from behind the scenes and just look at the series nowadays Censored and full of dei Troon slop It is satanic now
>>739476180*end of the world is coming soon>>739476539I get what you mean but you can't deny there's this distinct flavor associated with the Bible Belt that's the face of Satanic Panic over Pokemon, Dungeons & Dragons, Harry Potter, etcSure the people who watch the 700 Club, do stuff like Jesus Camp, attend the Westboro Baptist Church, or flock to gaudy Mega Churches to put spectacle over scripture aren't necessarily the same kind of Christian but it kind of just justifies why even faithful from other countries look at Americans and be perplexed by what's going on hereI'm not saying lunacy doesn't exist in other countries and that doomsday cults and perversions of faith are America only but there's a reason why a show like Moral Orel can only take place in America
>>739441564Realistically the people who said this never played or ever looked into anything in the games content that would suggest it (some people already pointed out things like kadabra and ghost types). The real reason was that it was huge fad that swept the world and was foreign. Parents in bumfuck nowhere were being forced to buy cards, toys, clothes, etc with this strange Japanese shit because if they didn’t then their kids would be totally left out an ostracized or labeled poor. Kids were taking their card binders to school and showing off their collections and trading with each other and doing the same thing with their game boys. Asking each other if they saw the latest episode. Meanwhile poor trailer trash and nigs in the hood couldn’t possibly keep up with any of it so their cope was “it’s satans work my kids don’t need that!” Anyone who says otherwise wasn’t alive, a kid, or had kids at the time.
>>739476430>so will the GOP reform on a different nucleus?This is what has happened every time in american history. Every time a third party appears they lose no matter what, eventually one of the 2 main parties reforms itself and starts winning again.
>>739442649Really depended on the household. My mom is a heavy Christian (praying when eating out, church every Sunday, 10% tide etc.) yet she had NO problems with Pokemon, never once bought into "its Satan" bullshit. Same thing with my older sister when HP came out, got her all the books as they came because she just happy with her reading.
>>739476731you just know less about other countries
>>739476854That’s because your mom could afford it, or at the very least didn’t mind putting her kids first and making an effort to keep them happy. The ones who cried satan either were too poor or didn’t want to fork over the money to buy their kids toys.
>>739476834not guaranteed. any new nucleus, to regain the trust of everyone who's rightwing but NOT happy with trump (which is already a massive portion of their voter base and will only grow as older people die and younger chuds hit 18), will NEED to be at least critical of, if not outright hostile to, israel. existing GOP politicians won't abide that (since they're bought and owned)in such a scenario, I think a semi-successful third party has a better chance than at any time before in the past century of the country. on the other hand, if that doesn't happen and the party can't win back young support, that leaves a massive concentration of angry, politically interested, ignored young people (mostly men) who very well could turn to violence. I 100% believe that, if things don't change, within 5 years the US will go past the point of no return on the way into civil war.
>>739477108>he doesn't knowthe party system is an established historical patternhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_eras_of_the_United_Statesit's just a byproduct of how the country was designed. there will always be two parties and if people don't like one of them then there will be reforms until they start winning again.
>>739476430>people who feel betrayed by trump aren't going to start voting dem, they just won't voteFrankly that would be the best outcome for everyone. Anyone retarded enough to vote for the mango Mussolini a third time is too retarded to give their input on politics.>but the US doesn't really have a system where a third party can succeed like that... so will the GOP reform on a different nucleus? I feel the "GOP" itself is just going to collapse and die out as an actual party, they've debased themselves way too hard to feasibly recover from all this. Meanwhile I feel the dems are going to split themselves between the corporate and socialist dems, with the former effectively replacing the GOP and where the usual grifters will jump ship to.
>>739477460He's too old anyways
>>739476524Basically. But the Catholic sect that are all pissy about Vatican II really are something else. Legit psychopaths that will tell old people they are being haunted by demons and that the Pope is probably fake because he doesn't hate the gays enough to order them to be stoned.
>>739477723>Vatican IIQRD?
>>739443058Some of the adults at my church said it was satanic and went on and on about dungeons and dragons and he also said fictional works where people have godlike powers (superheroes) is blasphemy. I'm glad my parents weren't that looney, I wouldn't be able to enjoy anything.
>>739477723I always laugh at the "there are demons everywhere!" thing, like Satan is incredibly proactive with his attempts to make everything evil while God and his forces sit back and do absolutely nothing until the day he decides to destroy all of creation and send most of his most precious creation to eternal damnation. And that's on top of the fact that God created Satan.
>>739477778Turns out Dungeons and Dragons REALLY IS lame and gay
>>739441564puritans are stupid like that
>>739477997Depends on the group you're in really
>>739478014You're late.
>>739477743Long story short the church realized that the Latin mass was stupid (Only said in Latin meaning no one knew what the fuck was being said, the priest was back to the church goers and din't explain anything, and it was silent except for chanting). No one gave a fuck and the pope said "Alright, it isn't illegal to do it in the common tongue".Some priests saw this as WH40k tier heresy and are now under the impression that the pope isn't real enough and work in the church (because the pope isn't going to clean house, since it would look bad. See: relocating pedophiles). They are also fucking crazy and go on about demons and exorcismm all the god damn time. They spread throuogh channels like EWTN and that crazy nun spent most her time telling women to get back in the kitchen. They swindle people with items such as cloth necklaces that literally say "PEOPLE WEARING THIS WHEN THEY DIE DON'T GO TO HELL" and prayer blankets and shit. Despite this being against, ya know, the Bible. And the church as a whole is guilty because they allow them to do it because at least the people they scare are still "Catholic" instead of becoming apostates.I only know this because those bastards tormented my father before his death, reinforcing the belief that he was epcifically haunted by demons and that only they could save him. Everyone around him wasn't Catholic enough and turned him from a fun, rock and roll loving man into someone that was scared to be alone before he died of cancer.TLDR: Fuck the Catholic church and if there is a Hell I will be petitioning St. Paul to drag several people down with me.
The whole Satanic Panic stuff makes much more sense when you realize that it was mostly done by boomers and that boomers are the fucking worst people to have ever existed.It's not Christianity, just boomers.
>>739478550>done by boomers and that boomers are the fucking worst people to have ever existed.I love how youtube and social media gave everybody this mind worm.

>>739478707Not even. When they were my teachers I thought they were irrational with their orders and were being generally unreasonable when they would be punishing kids without properly explaining themselves. They told me that I would understand when I got older. Now that I'm older and have dealt with them as customers, my opinion of them has only gotten worse. They're the only demographic who've given me shit over asinine bs.

>>739442190this is why Uri Gellar thinks it's evil
>>739441564pokemon means pocket monsters. In Japanese culture its normal to interact with spirits/daemons. Ghost pokemon are literally demon spirits. In pokemon there is no difference between what we could classify as a demon and what are natural 'animals' some pokemon are demons and some are everday animals. Some of the 'legendary pokemon' are literally gods. It is a pagan japanese worldview. The entire satanic panic was a biblically accurate filter, yes its funny how old people and parents overreact, but its not 'wrong' unless youre a atheist. Its not 'devil worship' either just be aware of what you are consuming and your worldview if you are christian.
>>739441564You live in a place where children are forced to pledge their allegiance to a flag and you are wondering how the people around you could be so brainwashed/dumb?
>>739466412because these were not well known things all the kids talked about and in most american schools like yea youre right it should be more consistent but it was a reaction to the popularity more than anything
>>739478386>Despite this being against, ya know, the BibleSilly Billy, Christians have never followed the Bible. They use it was a weapon and shield while ignoring everything in it. Jesus told his followers to never gather for worship and keep your prayers private. These people build massive cathedrals filled with gold and silver and images of saints and hundreds of people file in to loudly proclaim their faith to everyone.

>>739441564>Growing up in rural United States, I remember hearing it all over the placeno you didn't, you're a larping child. The idea of "Pokemon is devil worship" was never a real thing.
>>739479643Demons don't exist, bitchbaby. Take responsibility for your thoughts, words, and actions.
>>739480384nta but I literally had a fat churchwoman bring it up at a Cracker Barrel we were all at as part of a church youth thing.
>>739480384You've posted this several times and been kicked in the dick every time, it's not difficult to take a few seconds to look it up.
>>739480384Be grateful. I would hide that Pokemon would evolve to my parents, and would change the channel if they were within earshot and the Pokemon became a glowing ball of white light. I would also have my fingers ready on the power switch if I needed to visit a fairy fountain in OoT in case if my parents were about to walk down the stairs. I've had to shut it off a couple times.
>>739441564You have to go back to the 80s. D&D quite literally invoked Satan. The ensuing moral panic made boomers deeply suspicious of children's entertainment. As the industry grew more liberal they were genuinely convinced the shows and books and games were trying to teach kids to be evil. Evil here is broadly defined as not being straight godfearing christians. The problem is they were right
>>739481510>D&D quite literally invoked Satan.No it didn't.>Um no, having devils as monsters you fight is the same as summoning the literal devil!Retard.
Because religious people are low iq and believe all manipulation

>>7394815841e literally did moron
>>739481510>The problem is they were rightYou’re damn right they were.
>>739481647It literally did not. The panic was over the fact that it had devils with 'actual' names like Asmodeus as monsters you could fight. There was no 'literal ritual to summon the christian devil (that does not exist) in the books' like your retard pastor told you.

>>739482343WRONG.
why do people deny that boomers called pokemon demonic when christcucks still call things they don't like demonic to this day, on this very website?
>>739482624Same reason why you have people on this board pretend that censoring porn is a leftist idea and completely deny that right-wing conservatives are actually the ones doing it. They're reatrds.
>>739441564America are full of retarded puritans and contrarians. >inb4 'they were right tho!'You shitpost on 4chan unc and I've seen multiple cycles of the "I'm going to start going to church and work out!" gimmick for almost two decadesThe children of the same people who cried about Harry Potter magic willingly shilled for ubislop because the culture war shifted from crying about nip entertainment to trannies
>>739482676its obvious whenever I see something I dont like being done, the outgroup was behind it.
>>7394826764chan has always been contrarian. Bannon et al. learned how to exploit that, so you now have legions of retards espousing right wing, christian nationalist rhetoric that would have gotten you laughed back to /pol/ in more recent times.
>>739482117Epstein files literally had a dude dressing up in a Jesus costume to rape kids and nobody in the admin gave a shit. You're a fraud lol
Back to your containment board>>>/vp/
>>739482742More decent times, I meant to say.
Pokémon's got banned in Russia. Just like all anime and West cartoons. Christians asked for this ban
>>739482720Being a Christian is suffering because it's actually my group who is being retarded half the time. Fucking Barb trying to convince my parents to ban me from video games when she saw me playing with a GameBoy because she thought it was "unholy".
>>739482742I remember when /pol/ used to gas themselves up about how badass they were and unsubvertible but got memed into simping for the biggest Israeli stooge in modern history. You got Larry Fink buddying up with the admin, Stephen Miller (early bio jew meme), and Scott Bessent being a literal faggot but when you confront them with these facts they short-circuit and start calling you the jew.
>>739482742Theres honestly too many bad faith actors bringing real world rhetoric here. Doesn’t help the head jeet is a fat /pol/ and twitter addict
>>739482796Trump arrested Epstein and his secretary and right hand(and a reddit mod btw) is now doing life in prison, and guess what? she was convicted during the Biden administration, the same administration that did everything to try to convict Trump even weaponizing the IRS, which just settled with Trump for 1 billion btw.If Trump was in cahoots with Epstein why was he arrested by Trump and why was Epstein's secretary sentenced to life in prison, if Trump was involved with Epstein wouldn't she have cut a deal with the Biden's administration to talk and get a lenient sentence and convict Trump, this happened during Biden presidency and the Epstein files were in the democrats hands already too , if they really had anything they would have use it, they sure tried everything else, so why stop there.So what logic goes here?Trump is friends with Epstien? but he arrest him? okay, maybe he didn't wanted him to talk? okay? then why, she Epstein secretary didn't' talk? oh she was protecting Trump, Trump? the same Trump that got her arrested? and what about Biden's administration, they had the Epstein files for 4 years, they also are the ones who convicted the secretary.What logic is that.
>>739475236>But back then, his hip gyrations were considered perverted and threatening.The big irony being that it said a whole lot more about how sick minded they were than the kids enjoying it lmao. They just see a hip moving and go "SEX!"
>>739443058Go fuck yourself. How much of a pathetic sack of shit do you have to try and pull revisionist history on something so thoroughly documented?
>>739479470please do. this thread is already a total clusterfuck . i would love to hear more about this. i never understood why so many boomers have such poor bonding with the youth and saying it's "medical" is very interesting
>"666 is da numba of da Debil. Everrbody knows dat. But wha I wanna talk to you today is, how da Debil is takin' control of yo children with a different numba: 67"
>>739479245Correction: Jesus welcomed people gathering together for worship of his father, but he was staunchly against the showy means of worship that was popular at the time via the pharisees, who would wear extravagant clothes and flaunt how holy they were.So yeah, your argument against the gaudy cathedrals and mega churches is perfectly valid.
>>739443058Yes there was and noone said it was, you had church retards screaming about it. You are an underage culture warrior and you were not fucking there.
>>739445526this. these wannabe-christian boomer niggers would also accuse jesus of magic if he were to come around now.in John, Jesus heals a blind man by mixing his own spit with mud. i can just hear the boomers yelling witchcraft
>>739483424They're both complicit retard. This is what's wrong with you partybrained nigger. They're right in calling you a goyim because you literally see life like a red vs blue marvel movie and start getting confused by anyone who doesn't share that worldview. But hey since the good guys are in power right now, feel free to place a bet on one of those prediction markets when one of the bad guys (blue) are going to be arrested when they can't even stop old hags from stock trading. MIGA went from having their influencers roll up to praise the folders and binders they got, treating it like they saw a movie pre-release to burying it after it wasn't cool to talk about anymore.
>>739483818>They're both complicit retardNo, Trump ended Epstein reign of terror.That's the farther it could be from being complicit.
>>739483818glad i never read these files. this is so fucking abominable. amerisharts are you ok?
>>739483863christ mate.
>>739483924BUT BUT Epstein is Trump's best friend he is willing do do life for his sake I swear they are friends.
>>739483604>YOU WERENT THERE!!!balding millenial / gen x unc mad that zoomers and younger don’t give a fuck about muh le religion bad smear campaign from the 80s/90sgo cry about the witch trials and crusades while you’re at it sad fuck.
>>739483963brother you literally weren't there for all the things you believe in. what a stupid post.
>>739483424>If Trump was in cahoots with Epstein why was he arrested by Trump and why was Epstein's secretary sentenced to life in prisontrump covering his ass once it was too big to containand retards like you fall for it
>>739483998So Trump arrested Epstein to cover his track, and Epstein and his secretary just took a life sentence bid for Trump's sake the same guy that arrested them.
>>739483574no it isn’t you stupid faggotnowhere does christ say not to build cathedrals. he rebukes the apostles when they claim he is wasting money that could be given to the poori’m so sick of every lying faggot on here having a half baked opinion about a book they never read. fuck off and die
>>739484027epstein specifically took a plea deal, he was cooked and was going to end up in a cushy minimum sec rich people prison.
>>739483863Under this framing, wouldn't you WANT to go after all his associates? Who was he emailing in the post that you quoted? Like I distinctly remember people saying how a bunch of democratic epstein affiliates were going to be arrested. When is that happening? Unless you believe that Delta Force took them all out offscreen, because I'm sorry but you'll have to forgive me for not having faith in the guy when one of his old spiritual advisors Robert Morris was exposed as being a literal pedophileModern internet conservatism is fake, gay, and larp larp sahur. So yeah, I don't really take the burger version of Christianity very seriously when they're down to not find the truth of pic related.
>>739483981what a retarded take. have you considered not being so retardedanyway zoomerwaffen don’t care about what evangelical boomers did in the 80s, go die
>>739484065Epstein and his secretary were convicted by the Biden's administration, do you really think they would agree to something that would help Trump.
>>739484074Have you?
>>739441564well desu the concept of capturing monsters and battling each other for glory and dominance while also borderline summoning them with card with unknown animal designs just straight up sounds evil as f
>>739484039>he rebukes the apostles when they claim he is wasting money that could be given to the poorFalse equivalence. He said this in relation to a woman who used expensive perfume oil to rub his feet, and she did it because she was genuinely repentant of her course of sin. her act was one of kindness and generosity, so the disciples chastising her was essentially just nitpicking a kind act for not being good enough. The cathedrals and mega churches are different, because they're designed to be giant money laundering operations under the guise of faith.
>>739441564They're monsters. They can also be called demons, since demons are also monsters.
>>739484074>zoomerwaffenDon’t vote and are irrelevant which is why their champion Thomas Massie lost big to the boomers
>>739484169yeah you’re right, cathedrals built over hundreds of years in the middle ages were a money laundering scheme. kys
Pikachu told me to touch myself.
>>739484236voting is gay and boomers are dying nigga. you are also old and perishing
>>739484242anon, take a deep breath and read his post again. you are misinterpreting it. he said jesus was against show-offy cathedrals. not all cathedrals
>>739466901Christfags who think they're counter-jewish are the biggest retards imaginable. Your whole worldview originates from the jewish race. Pick up a fucking book.
>>739484242Legitimate places of worship were fine. Corrupt churches run by pharisees who cared little for faith and only wished to flaunt themselves as virtuous were the problem. Do you not remember the parable of the pharisee and the poor beggar, and how Jesus valued the 2 lowly shekels that the beggar woman put in, while showing disinterest in the 100+ shekels brought in by the pharisee, who blew a trumpet before his entrance to announce how holy he was?
>>739484285Boomers own you and you’ll do nothing. They’ll replace you with Indians and get you killed in WW3 before they die
>>739484301so according to you jesus is against cathedrals on a case by case basis depending on what someone who isn’t even christian thinks is “show offy”
>>739484391that has nothing and i mean nothing to do with how ostentatious a given place of worship is. you have zero idea what you’re talking about. do you know what the ark of the covenant is?
>>739484481so you revealed yourself to be either brown or seething gen x. and you wonder why we hate you. it’s almost like you are evil and should die
>>739484631>You are evil and should di-ACKKKK

>>739484710pika pika pika piii?!
>>739441564It was a psyop to delegitimize the actual reason behind the satanic panic.Harry Potter, BÖC, Pokemon, etc were pushed to make everything associated look ridicules.
My grandmother made me return my first and only MTG starter pack because it was satanic. Pokemon was fine she even came with me to print Pokemon Snap stickers at the video store. Throughout her life she was known for having a strange spiritual connection which creeped people out and instigated a local advice seeking panic when people didn't keep her comments a secret. The family made her agree to deny ever saying anything and dedicate her life to god which she did only rarely sharing anything she saw again. I trust her on that and for saving me from playing a boring TCG.
>>739484894Your grandmother was mentally ill
>>739441564Those parents were convinced that the Pokémon obsession would cause their sons to become deviants for some reason.
>>739484483>>739484567>the ark of the covenant exists, this means we should make mega churches that cost 500 million dollars to maintain, where most of the money goes to corrupt priests who rape children, and send the rest to Israel to nuke children in PalestineJesus approved.
>>739442649>>739442743The majority of Simon Magus references are not in biblical canon, although he does seem to be an evil wizard in his one biblical appearance.
>>739485016>erm actually you shouldn’t spend money on religious stuff. checkmate christcuck!>ark of the covenant: clearest possible counterexample>well you rape kids!kill yourself immediately bad faith lying faggot. you lost the argument as soon as you tried to make scripture say the dumb shit you want it to say. god despises people like you
>>739467249It was the manga's protagonist first and main Pokémon. Probably why it got to have a side evo in gen 2, only Pokémon that got that treatment then alongside Slowpoke and Eevee
>>739485387And how did the ark of the covenant tie into money laundering? Something directly ordained by God for the sake of worship is a bit different from some jerk buying a 500,000 dollar car with church donations he skimmed off the top.
even back then we had people saying retarded things for clout
>>739484694Boomers are cucks who hate America, left or right
>>739442743I'm not a Christian, but I'm pretty sure it's as easy as the assumption that everything Supernatural comes from either God or Satan. And since Magic isn't from God, it must be from Satan.
>>739486261wat, jesus literally does magic tricks
>>739481614https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn7TcsT91C8
>>739486261What a stupid assumption. See >>739443341>>739443058>>739469413>>739443532
>>739486442Christians that deny the existence of magic are coping it’s in the Bible as a real thing that works and explicitly forbidden
>>739486278Sure, but Pagain witches aren't Jesus.>>739486442None of that denies what I said. At best you have a single doctrine of Christianity that denies magic and some examples of some Christians denying that magic exists.
>>739441564>Poliwhirl, of all things, front and center>Because LOOK LOOK PARENTS, THIS IS WHAT POKEMON IS REALLY LIKE, THIS AGGRESSIVE ALIEN THING IS LITERALLY HYPNOTIZING YOUR CHILDREN!Always thought that was odd.
>>739487270Poliwhirl was one of the most common pokemon used in marketing back in gen one because it was one of the original creator's favorite designs.
>>739441564>Pokemon is devil worshipThis must be a strictly burger thing. That is retarded.
>>739441564Moral busybodies who have nothing better to do with their lives than make everyone miserable because it's the only thing that gets them off.
It really do be like that
>>739441564Nah that was Jews trying to devalue pokemon from the very startThen they grabbed power and took control of Nintendo and the pokemon company had now the entire series is woke slop
>>739441564If you have been around then then your brain should come to the realization how fake and gay many "outrages" were in hindsight as the veil has been lifted.
>>739442583In Japanese the word for metamorphosis is "hentai". You can guess whey they decided to call in evolution (shinka) instead.
>>739441564What I always found odd was that the people wanting Pokemon banned basically admitted they had no capacity whatsoever to role play in a shared imagined space, which I think is an essential human trait and an indicator of consciousness. Not that you have to enjoy Pokemon or whatever just that you recognize it's a pretend experience and not actual demon worship. Basically religious extremists are too stupid to get it and have no imagination.
>>739490872The word is actually "henshin" for those curious about facts and not bait
>>739442403>Lived long enough to see these same people praise Kid Rock after demonizing him for years
>>739491191But religious nuts do roleplay in shared space. It's just that those from abrahamic religions have the inbuilt rule to fight other roleplays, deciding that everyone else should play THEIR game, never others.
They should elevate this guy back to mascot status againPeak design
>>739454952I do think some things are evil and satanic, I'm just way better calibrated than boomers.

>>739491738i dont know what you mean by posting a shitty mistranslation of that page but you are just wrong
>>739441564>Where did the whole "Pokemon is devil worship" idea from the late '90s and early 2000s come from? Growing up in rural United States, I remember hearing it all over the place, but I never understood why people believed it.Jewish cultists known as "evangelicals" are schizophrenic retards prone to such random outbursts
>>739441564White people are crazy, the human body was meant to face hardships, but since they never faced any they instinctively go lunatic and start making shit up to satisfy this primordial needThat's why white american christians have a bigger victim complex than jews

>>739441564>Where did the whole "Pokemon is devil worship" idea from the late '90s and early 2000s come from?Continuation of the Satanic Panic after people finished campaigning against D&D, certain music genres, certain movie genres, the fantasy genre in general, etc. Christian groups had huge lobbying power back in the day so they were able to get this stuff to blow up like it did, until AIPAC and corporations used gay marriage as a hot button to shift the tide against them.>>739442042>>739442583Evolution was a very small component compared to the other things Pokemon has going on. There's ghosts, psychic powers, the ability to summon, capture, and control monsters, there's an entire gambling component, etc.>>739442743>Where in the Bible does it say "magic is bad"?Any time something supernatural happens that isn't caused by God or Jesus. Due note that 99% of the time the "bad magic" is usually being performed by an entity that represents paganism or a non-Judeo-Christian religion (like the Canaanite pantheon, many of which were turned into demons) in order to make Christianity look superior/correct in the bible story.
>>739479262ok grandpa time for bed
>>739493268>at least like 6 different ways to say metamorphosis in nipspeak>literally never heard anyone use hentai to describe anything besides abnormality or perversionbig think
>>739493615変態 is the correct term for describing a lifeform, usually insects, changing into another form as part of its natural growth and it is common in commonly used in 生物学.変身 can technically cover 変態, but most of the time it used to describe temporary transformations. It is common in anime and tokusatu for that reason. In Pokemon, it is the name of a skill used by metamon and mew that allows them to transform into another pokemon for the duration of the battle.
>>739476106The thing is that she knows it's All Saint's Day, but she also insists that it's a day where Satanists are running around doing black masses and that people who are participating in TnTing are encouraging them or something. Honestly, the entire mindset is completely flawed and again, she took me TnTing for literally 11 or 12 years and loved it so I have no idea where, why, or how she suddenly thought this up because it only started after I grew too old to do it anymore.She's also a subscriber to Rapture theology and awful people like John Hagee or Joel Osteen so I think she's just easily influenced by the 700 Club. Honestly, it feels like she picks and chooses because she believes in Rapture theology because of these people pushing it and "The signs are there because Israel is back" but then refuses to believe in Purgatory and can't explain why we pray for the dead or anything.Like I said earlier, she can't wrap her head around the fact that Christmas was a pagan holiday and that technically putting up a tree and lights or ornaments on said tree is paganism, but we don't view it that way because it's not what we're doing, we're putting lights on a tree because it's tradition and looks pretty.
>>739478550/v/ zoomers just had a satanic panic over Divinity
I remember that people also thought the franchise was some kind of cynical cashgrab. The South Park episode is an example. It's true now but I'm pretty sure they just wanted to make a fun game when they put out RBY.

So which things were it for your parents? My parents were okay with Pokemon, but they didn't allow Yugioh or Harry Potter, Yugioh for this specific card
>>739441564Because on some level people recognize they are letting evil corporations raise the next generation and some are uneasy about it.And its a valid concern. When family relations are replaced by toy and tv companies, the company now has free reign to turn the next generation into degenerate consumers.Any proper society would have strict controls on this phenomenon, it was even discussed in The Republic ways to protect the youth from predators and from themselves.But of course some retards like >>739442403Were successfully psyopped into hating old people and thinking they must be right about everything
>>739442042Completely fucking retarded guess from a zoomer who wasn't alive in the 90s. The evolution in Pokemon isn't even real evolution. School in the 90s taught evolution and no one cared either.>>739441564None of you zoomers were even alive in the 90s. It's because parents used to be really Christian and White in America. Pokemon are monsters, and monsters are similar to demons. Christian parents in the 90s thought that their kids would become obsessed with magic and monsters if they played Pokemon which was anit-Bible. DOOM was also controversial, not because it had violence, but because it had demons. People used to play DOOM at school a lot for some reason and the teachers got pissed off about it lol.
>>739497356Christians are always extremely threatened by deities that aren't theirs. One would think that if their god was so powerful and amazing they'd have nothing to fear from the "lesser gods".
>>739498872One would think they'd see DOOM as a pro-Christian game because you're going around slaughtering Satan's minions.
>>739499115Nope. Portraying Christian topics in any way but how I experienced them in church is satanic. Killing demons is just not boring enough to be good Christian behavior, if being Christian wasn't about being bored then my childhood was a scam and I refuse to let that be!
>>739499115Nope. Doom was seen as satanic because it had demons in it. Killing them doesn't matter, the fact that there's pentagrams and you're literally shooting demons to kill them doesn't matter. I've also seen the argument presented that only Jesus can stop demons which is why Doom is satanic because it presents someone that's not God doing it.
>>739498872>School in the 90s taught evolution and no one cared either.Coping christfag hoping no one else remembers "intelligent design"
>>739499953Jesus ain't doing a good job of it. I love asking these people if God and Jesus are so powerful and loving why they allow demons to infiltrate and destroy every aspect of their creation and seeing their faces go through a hundred expressions before they either stalk off or tell me I'm one of the demons.

>>739500659It's not God's job to take care of your hardships and the evildoers of the world, that's the burden of the righteous.
>>739501379God could have also not created Satan and not given us the means to become intelligent so he could curse us and torture us.
>>739499115You’re trying to make sense of people who got duped into following abrahamic religions and want you to die for israel.
>>739498728Old people fucked up the economy and extended copyright to life of the creator + 70 years.they allowed credit card companies to be this megalith cartel ring that is capable of debanking people because they have wrong think.they thought the internet was a fad so they decided not to have any dedicated internet lines placed throughout the nation like power and water lines instead letting the phone have internet lines, which allowed them to buy cable companies and collude to have the least amount of competition possible by not selling in each other's territory too much.they put up so many regulations that it's hard for the average to start up a business.but i'm the retard. yeah, ok.
>>739501014That's not a 'redpill' that's you listening to objectively retarded people.
>>739503497No you are the retard who fell for the lies of boomers, see >>739443058
>>739503370You mean Disney right?
>>739503605It's so easy to just look it up but people like this are extremely desperate to tell everyone that it never happened.
>>739501014>One of the craziest redpills I've come across in nerd culture is that soccer moms don't exist
>>739504093>DUDE IT WAS REAL>this one time my fat mother wouldn't buy me a video gameRetard
>>739503998disney lobbied for copyright to be extended, but those boomers could have said no that's retarded and not have done it. but they didn't
>retards who would never believe cnn or fox claiming shit like that now actually believe that they were reporting legitimate things in the 90show do you explain this phenomenon?
>>739504093It's because they're 'based trad christian right-wing' grifters. They can't let their retarded religion or the generation they idealize have ever been wrong because their modern, contrarian counterculture is based on trying to be their grandparents.
>>739501014Just...just who, Anon!?
>>739504185People made movies, TV show episodes, and cartoon episodes about the Satanic panic during the time it happened. It's an extremely well-documented time period. What are you thinking you'll gain by screaming at us that we're wrong and liars?
>>739504338I also think the entire history of the universe is the exact same as what's happening at this very moment.
>>739504634you'd be wrong to believe otherwise.
>>739498872>parents used to be really Christian and White in AmericaIf you support Zionism, then you aren't Christian. Sorry.
>>739503605No you're the retard trying to lie about something I lived through and personally dealt with. You are full of shit and desperate to try to pretend it never happened. Why?
>>739505049Dispelling lies and bullshit is what intelligent people do.
>>739505138Asserting something didn't happen without proof against a mountain of proof and personal testimony isn't anything of the sort.
>>739504338I don’t know if it started with the media pushing a psyop or started with hysterical parents but at the end of the day the hysterical parents were real for Pokemon and especially for Harry Potter
>>739505205>my personal anecdotes are factsHow about posting actual verified proof that isn't from the Jew-dominated "news".
>>739505345You're the one making the claim, retard. Appeal to Hebrew doesn't mean shit.
>>739504572>>739505049There was no satanic panic you lying faggot see >>739443058
>>739505205>mountain of proofWas it real in your mind?
>>739505683>If I link my own post again it's more right-er!No
Are these people just desperate for attention or do they think they're being woke chads by claiming everything is lies?
>>739441564Same place trans ideology and most conspiracy theories came from: self-righteous retards. Never underestimate the stupidity and narcissism of all these monkeys. They will believe absolute bullshit and spread it to the point of cultural hysteria if it makes them feel better than other people.
>>739491543Weird to see a Poliwhirl that's not dabbing.
>>739441564In Finland they stopped playing the ¨Pokerap¨ song in the anime because of the ¨gotta catch em all¨ part. Idiot boomers went reeeeee, they're brainwashing our kids to buy their merchandise!Soccer moms just basically want to ban anything that becomes remotely succesful and hits their radar.>Turtles have weapons? Nooo, violence! Use sausages and yoyos!>Bart Simpson is a terrible role model!>cancel Tinky Winky, he's clearly gay!And so on and so on.
