>Saudi Arabia banned Pokémon games and cards, alleging that the franchise promoted Zionism by displaying the Star of David in the trading cards (a six-pointed star is featured in the card game) as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with Christianity and triangles they associated with Freemasonry; the games also involved gambling, which is in violation of Muslim doctrine.

Explain this.

The obvious solution is to just let the autistic kid sit in the corner and avoid him from entering your group. Vote for nationalist policies and your animes, mangoes, and vidya games will be safe.

kek
plus all the people running Saudi Arabia are a bunch of massive hypocrites, who practice many things "against sharia law" and muslim doctrine

Some time ago the government of Egypt told their citizens that Israel was causing shark attacks in the Sinai beach, so naturally everyone accepted this without any doubt. Then again, we are talking about jews here, wouldn't put it past them.

Lived in Saudi Arabia around the time this ban came into effect in 2001, it's real. They renewed the fatwa last year when Pokemon Go was at the height of its popularity. Of course, you'd know that if you went onto google for about 10 seconds and looked it up instead of calling fake and gay on a hair trigger.

>Explain this

Saudi Arabia sucks, stuff like this is done by the clerics and the muttawa and their stance is basically that fun is unislamic. Remember this is the country doesn't have a single cinema and sexes aren't allowed to mingle in public unaccompanied.

>lived in Saudi Arabia
I'd like to take this opportunity to ask: is it true that arabs quarrel and squabble a lot, then immediately became best buddies with handshakes and hugs and everything? I've seen it happen once during a traffic accident, so I'm just wondering if its the norm or just a one time thing.
>>
>>32145805

Yeah, that sounds about right, at least amongst one another. I've often noticed that arabs can be unpredictable with their outward emotions.

Isn't this an ancient "controversy"? And by that I mean when Pokemon was considered satanic.

>>32145477
Pokémon would have had an insane rating in Europe too if they didn't take out the game corner.

Yep. The Gen I VC re-releases got rated 12 here in the UK

why do we even care about muslims in their natural habitat
they're less human and more like incstinct-driven animals
they ban anything that has a chance to trigger their degeneracy

jesus christ they need to cover their women from head to toe in order not to rape them just by seeing them

>>32145477
Muslims are straight up insane, so not sure what you want me to explain there.

Hell, I still remember when several local churches in my area actually had book burnings for Harry Potter and game/VHS burnings of Pokemon (Most were baptist that pulled that shit. Fucking bible belt).

I also remember several kids at school who loudly protested that Pokemon was part of the devil and that we need to find Jesus. Shit was weird back then.

Saudi Arabia was a full of muslims tho, only their muslim religion. They don't accept games tho, only muslim-related.

Luckily, United Arab Emirates allowed pokemon because of the cultural phenomenon (recently), You can also play pokemon GO in Dubai/Abu Dhabi, but Saudi Arabia doesn't allow Electronics there, like phones.

Honest curiosity, what the hell is the mindset of a muslim that posts on 4chan? I can't imagine it.
Moderate and accepting of "degeneracy"?
Extremist like our own brand of white suprematards?
Only practices religion because of sense of cultural obligation or fear of backlash from his own family/community?

Arab /vp/ bros are possibly screwed?
Unless the new regulations aren't well enforced, then it might simply be a load of bs.

Freaking Abe got "anti-otaku" laws going in Japan, and that tripe actually has piss-poor enforcement, so no one cares.

it's just like modern christians really, there's lots of extreme stuff in the bible but we just pick and choose whats good for us and ignore the icky bits
I just want to play video games and not kill/get killed
as for the current issue of the 'islamization' of the west I don't really care about the 'refugees' who refuse to assimilate into their adoptive countries culture and just start shit
just wanted to clarify, don't want to start any /pol/ shit

They had their problems with pokémon since the beginning, because pokémon is based on evolution, which is also not common in these regions. It got banned there many times in different regions, but christians have had also problems with it (I remeber a video, where a preacher told how satanic pokémon is, because you are cathing monsters and demons and especially when Arceus was revealed, they said you can cath a god....)

>>32153236
Technically you should never fap in the first place, but if you absolutely must do it just make sure you're finished with your umrah first (tawaf, sa'i, and halq/taqsir). I know I did.
