>boomers in the 90's would think this is satanic
Why is the G backwardsTHAT'S EVIL
>>58540081I think they were on to something, look at the current state of the franchise.
Sure, that makes sense. Demons pretending to be cute to drawn in children; wolves in sheep's clothing.
Cleary spiky eared pichu is the devil
>>58540081But Pokémon from Gen IV didn't exist in the 90s.
Gen X retards think its satanic right now.
>>58541712That's why it's satanic, you're seeing the FUTURE
Imagine if Giratina was a gen 1 mon
why was there such a satanic panic around pokemon in the 90s anyways? all i can think of are evolution (which doesn't even resemble real-world evolution) and the whole abra line/baphomet allusions. it just sounds like grasping at straws for a reason to be madt. '02 zoomer
>>58540081You are saying all the pedophiles, the pokefuckers and the consoomerism like crack addicts is not satanic? shut up, retard.
>>58541835Extremely popular yet difficult for parents to grasp, lies about "Pokemon" being Japanese for "Pocket Demons", and some Pokemon looking scary enough that parents could certainly think of them as demonic.
>>58541835>>58541862the same reason people are buying labubus or pushing for "trans rights" or complain about tiktok or went along with the covid bs: it's very, very, VERY, VERY, VERY EASY for things to reach a critical mass and become the default behavior of the masses. The average person is a herd animal. We have the prussian method of teaching to thank for that by the way, which is the standard in pretty much any first world country, and most second and third world countries.
no it's just you crazy americans and your religious obsessions
>>58541907i wonder why americans tend to ruin everything
>>58541835>it just sounds like grasping at straws for a reason to be madThat's just how low IQ minds work anon. They find something they don't understand and instead of trying to come to an understanding of it, they will search for means by which to confirm their bosses and preconceived notions. And this isn't an "all people are so stupid" post, realistically the % of people who well and truly believed that Pokemon was satanic devilry was actually quite low, but boosting loud ignorant people is a huge revenue source for news channels.
>>58541907>>58541920without dollars, pokemon would never have left japan to become international. You people are stupid, and I just want to let you know that.
>>58541835>why was there such a satanic panic around pokemon in the 90s anyways?The satanic panic started before but the reason were the same: religious nutjob parents trying to find a scapegoat to explain why their kids didn't act like they wanted them to act when the main reason was just them being shitty parents.
>>58541835You need to understand that Pokemania was insane. Like really insane. Everything was about Pokémon. Toy stores was mostly Pokémon. Every child was obsessed with Pokémon. Schools had to ban Pokémon cards because kids would get into fistfights over them.Parents wanted an explanation for why children were so obsessed with Pokémon, so the whole "It's a satanic ploy" was easy to believe if you were a Christian simpleton. And additionally to that, there was indeed the evolution aspect of it, which hardcore Christians found blasphemous.
>>58540081they were FUCKING RIGHT
>>58541835American Christians tend to be mongoloid retards
>>58541901>pushing for "trans rights"You're literally the sheep falling for culture war bullshit if you're against them lmao.
>>58540081We all still doJust look at the typical pokemon community.Its Woke furriesThats Satanic as fug
>>58540081And according to some islamists Pokemon means "I'm a Jew" in hebrew or some other language.
>>58543591>You're literally the sheep falling for culture war bullshit if you're against [government-controlled sex and self-mutilation cult]Yeah, the way to heal society is to kowtow to jewish demands, surely this time things will be fixed instead of further deteriorated... lmao...
>>58540081Kek. My grandmother thought Harry Potter was satanic and refused to let us watch it in her house.
>>58541907America is where all the religious rejects from Europe were dumped.
>>58543241So same for the current day Labubu.
>>58540081And their children think it's problematic, case in point >>58541350>>58540261 >>58541837 who are pearl-clutching Karens like their mothers before them.
>>58540081 >Boomers are dumb And water is wet
>>58541936Should have stayed in japan instead dumb americans ruining everything as usual
>>58545802to be fair it is full of faggotry so it really was in a sense
>>58546160There's plenty of websites you could have visited that are more accepting of dick-sucking and fedora-tipping. Why'd you end up here?
>>58541835Not a "satanic panic" or anything, but it was much like an UFO/paranormal frenzy back at the 90s, and televangelists were screeching around at the same timeSabrina episode have debuted circa 1999-2000 (she scared me a bit with her doll, I thought it was voodoo or a possession) and at the same period X-Files was on broadcast where I liveI've watched Akira back at this time, it made me delighted and terrified equally, much more than DragonBallt. born in 1988
>>58541835Because it was popular. Same reason why Labubu is getting called satanic now. Christianity hasn't been relevant for a long time and they try to stay in the public conscious by attaching themselves to things that are popular. It's not BECAUSE there's evolution in Pokemon or magic in Harry Potter, those are just talking points, it's BECAUSE they are more popular than Jesus and Christians want you to notice them.
>>58546525>Christianity hasn't been relevant for a long timehow out of touch can someone be? get off 4chan, log out of discord, go for a walk in your local park, good Lord.
>>58545835No, Pokemania was WAY bigger than the Labubu trend.
>>58545806>puritans banned celebrating the birth of jesus christWhat kind of 4D chess is this?
>>58541835I agree with this anon >>58541956 and want to add to this:People ignorant about popular topics were fed silly information to reinforce their beliefs. Parents did not know what D&D was but heard it's about roleplaying and killing stuff so it was deemed evil. In the same vein, Pokemon might be perceived as an animal cruelty with a goal to kill other animals so it's evil too.Christianity was less chill in the earlier days of the Internet.
>>58541907>>58541920why do people think only americans have the capacity for fanatacism? dont you know the early history of Christendom? The autism about iconoclasm?Or of Cromwell of England?Admit it, youre just embarrassed that americans exposed how cringe your religion can get
Why is there so much jewposting itt? It's really obvious, you're not fooling anyone.
>>58546160I only meant that I can understand the reasoning behind it. I don't agree with it, or else I wouldn't be on /vp/ to begin with.
>>58540081>boomers in the 90's would think this is satanic>wouldwould have? they did. but to be fair i think they were on to something. there is something evil about shiny colors and fake imaginary characters leeching space and energy out of your head
>>58541835I don't recall more than one or two parents in my class of twenty being openly against it, and I grew up in rural Christtown, middle of nowhere
>>58540081And they were right Just look how much pedophiles woke trannies and furries this franchise developed and enables.If that isn't Satanic I dont know what it.
My grandmother made me give away some random yugioh cards I got as a kid but I didn't really mind because I thought the horned cyclops thing on the card looked lamedidn't care about pokemon though
