    YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications “not certified by Google.”

    It’s literally on the Play Store, rated at M.

    This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad’s credit card was awesome.

    15 years later and YouTube doesn’t even know what gambling is anymore, lol.

    Reminds me of the 90’s. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it…

    Now it’s like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn’t matter it’s not the case at all.

      I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that “Watership Down” should probably be removed from the kid’s section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a “yeah… mkay.”

      A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said “yeeeeah, the boss’ sister brought it home for her kids. It’s gone now. Like… actually gone.”

      Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one. Lol

      Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it’s almost all she’ll watch. She’s had to get used to some of the…cultural differences…that Anime includes, but she’s so used to it now that it barely registers any more.

        …cultural differences…

        Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

        ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show

          The fact that those relationships are terrible is like half the plot of evangelion

          At least the show, haven’t seen the movies.

          I mean there’s some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.

          Just look at Stroheim from JoJo’s

            It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

            Okay, he’s German. Uh, and he’s in the army. And it’s WW2.

            …Are we going to address the elephant in the room?

            Nope, he’s just the new bro, here we’re all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

              I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he’s arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

          I mean, I haven’t seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There’s a lot of shit I don’t pick up on tho.

      I saw la blue girl when I was 18 and it traumatized me. That shit is fucked up. I thought it was anime bc my friend had a big collection and it was just there on the shelf.

          It’s 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts, so fuck knows what the actual odds are.

            Of course it does, or the odds wouldn’t be 1 in 4…

            If you flip a coin, you “start” a new set of 1 in 2 odds too – that’s what makes it always 50/50

            Humans are bad at probability, and that’s mostly why they gamble too.

            Every wheel draw is supposed to be independent (it’s not totally so because computer “random” is really a pseudo-random algorithm, but close enough). So every time you draw, the odds are 1:4. Previous draws don’t matter.

            On an infinitely large number of draws, you’d see a 1/4 success rate. This doesn’t mean you can’t fail a dozen times in a row (the probability of that is (3/4)^12, about 3%… It happens).
