There was this mad lady a few years ago in France telling people to make their children stop playing Pokémon and tear their Pokémon cards apart because it's satanic

I hope she went batshit when Pokémon Go went out

@Siphonay Wow, only ONE lady? That's like... a whole cultural Thing here in the US. :P

@indi Yes we have less batshit christians here! Most of the French population is atheist, actually.

@Siphonay Oh yeah, I'm aware. Just being amused/melancholy. ;) I remember the whole ordeal I had to go through to get my parents to let me play Magic cards.

@indi I can't imagine what it feels like. My parents let me choose if I wanted to get christened, even if my father was against it. I choosed to get christened and made my first communion but this was just to get the presents that came with it, lol
