Demons in your pocket

 



Believe it or not, but these are very recent videos. As in this month recent. I´m old enough to remember the right-wing Christian culture wars against "Dungeons & Dragons", heavy metal, Harry Potter and Lady Gaga (the anti-Smurf craze may have been a troll). It´s almost as if a pattern is emerging here... 

But why on earth, pray tell me, are televangelists attacking *Pokémon* in the year 2024?! I assumed Pokémon was a 1990´s fad among pre-teens.

The (too talkative) videos above claim that Pokémon may be freely based on creatures from Japanese Shinto religion and folklore. Which to some people means that it´s extra demonic or something...
