>>5310811When I was a kid I bought YuGiOh shit all the time. I had the cards, one of the duel disk toys, and I watched the TV show every Saturday morning.
One day about 6 months into my collection I was at a flea market and I saw some rares that some guy was selling. I tried to convince my parents to pick me up some of them and they got to talking with the seller. He showed them the cards and pointed out the stars on each one (pic related). He actually managed to convince my parents that they were pentagrams and the game was a metaphor for summoning demons, and that the whole thing was demonic. After that I wasn't allowed to watch the TV show, all my cards were taken away (which pissed me off cause I had one of Exodia's limbs and one of the God Cards) and thrown out, and my duel disk was given away at a yard sale.
A few months after that I got into Pokemon, but even though it was petty and ultimately had no effect on my life, there's still a hint of disdain left in me for my parent's actions.
