    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

    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.

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

    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
