My mother was neck deep in “Satanic Panic” propaganda. Literally thought Pokemon was “Satanic.” I think the thing that set her off was the Japanese-style art, and Japan isn’t majority-Christian like the U.S. is.
Don’t think that by explaining this I’m trying to make it make sense. The “sense” train derailed long before, but even more so when she decided that Pokemon had wiccan influence (which, by the way, isn’t the same as satanism, but again, it’s a foregone conclusion that none of this made any sense) for some random fucking reason.
Mine was you can play GTA just don’t kill the hookers.
“But they have the most mone”
Killing normal people is perfectly fine, but not the hookers, son!
Mine was “you can play Smash Brothers 64 with your friends as long as you don’t let anyone be Pikachu.”
