Reminds me of the 90's. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it...

Now it's like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn't matter it's not the case at all.

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
