YouTube restricts some, but not all, videos depicting the poker-ish indie game.

      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

        I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.

          It’s a weird hentai, but it’s overall pretty tame.

          Bible Black is more intense. Then Urutsikodoji. Then some other fucked up anime that didn’t stick into my memory. La Blue Girl is barely a step above regular hentai in fucked-up-ness.

    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.

              First three times I got the wheel it triggered.

              I didn’t understand the memes.

              Then it never happened again.

    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.

        It’s rated M because of moderators poor understanding of ‘gambling’
