Could you imagine a world where women would be real?

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

That's too political 🤬🤬

I checked, whoever CONEY is isn't saying these things, it's a reaction video making fun of the satanic panic around Pokémon. That's why in the profile pic he looks like one of those dudes who would make an outrageous reaction face in the thumbnail, because he usually does. No shade, except for the obvious shade.

EDIT: I'm watching the OG video (35 damn minutes); favorite pull quote so far:

The danger of Dungeons & Dragons or any kind of role-playing game like this is that it's played with the mind and--when played with the mind--the mind begins to lose that fine line with what's real and what's fantasy. And the more you get into the fantasy world, the more it seems real and all of a sudden now, you don't know what's real or what's not.

Seems like.

EDIT2: Hold up though, is this guy working undercover for Prima Guides or something?

And now, parents, if you're not up on Pokémon, you need to be. And one of the things you can do is go out and buy the official Pokémon Trading Card Game Player's Guide. And you can get this at any store that sells any of the Pokémon stuff. I mean anything. You can get it like at Toys 'R' Us or any of those places that sell any of the Pokémon.

I dare you to go to a Toys R Us, lol

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Being Canadian, I always forget that Toys R Us died in the US.

Pokémon’s evil! Buy their merch to combat their evilness.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Ah, Dark Dungeons (chick tract) vibes on that first one

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I also watched the video in question. Pretty entertaining. CONEY is delightfully sarcastic.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 33 points 2 months ago

Oh no a "WOMAN" how disturbing to have these nowadays. /s

[–] FRYD@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago

Coney is a Smash commentator who does reaction videos. He’s mocking these ideas.

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

more like wokémon

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

normally I consider men who can't seem to say 'woman' a walking red flag, but calling a child a woman is even more suspicious IMO

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 11 points 2 months ago

"Wömen... Men of wö"

Pokemon is knockoff trash. This is a Chinpokomon house.

My favorite is shoe.

Got to buy them all!

Why would an atheist AND the devil be a team? That makes no sense

[–] LoreSoong@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I dont think its harmful in anyway, since the bible just like any other fantasy. But there is alot of alchemic symbology and obvious references to dark topics like child kidnapping, philospher stones, ghosts, cults, curses, memetic viruses, sacrifice, suicide, reincarnation.

In retrospect it makes alot of sense why christians dont like these games and tv shows.

That sounds a lot like regular YA fiction 😅 Pearl-clutching Christians really need to get over themselves

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 2 months ago

A lot of those are in the bible too, so I don't get the hate. Maybe they want the exclusive?
