So Konami's declaring war on weebs? I'm sure that won't backfire.
This only contributes to the theory of illiterate yugioh players. The policy states it pertains to livestreamed feature matches.
@@dommusilli3975people are just being very cynical and mistrusting of Konami
@@dommusilli3975 it's not called ilitteracy in this case. It's called pessimism, cynicism and trust issues.
Konami ritualistically humiliates their employees

Dont worry guys, they havent banned lewd deck boxes yet
Yet.
Don’t encourage them to
They watch Cap G videos. Thanks for the tip lmao

Konami is banning non-official playmats to sell overpriced official playmats.
Is Just a attempt to milk more money from Konami's favorite cash cow. The competitive players.
Its not even that. Official playmats cant even be used unless its specifically Yugioh, meaning official playmats that are not Yugioh even if they are of another Konami IP cant be used either.
They arnt banning non official, they are banning non plain unofficial. You dont have to buy their products, you can just buy a solid black or whatever unofficial playmat
@@potatoexe5410 yes they can fool you have no ben ot gfit games and games card storie whrt ythy do yugioh torumotn guss what they make rtules they made they claer and they dont give carp what konami says
They killed pot of greed first.
So who's gonna tell Konami about what kind of cards they've been releasing for years?
Oh dude hands down the best point made here yet like they manufacture border line child porn ….
designing of card is done by konami japan... and then it get ruin by konami us and uk with censorship... so what do you expect?
@@zerocalvin I guess we expect them to hold themselves to the same standard to which they are holding all of us. most "lewd" mats are just images of konami's own design.
@@justfor8550 Wouldn't exactly call a playmat of IP:mas sucking Lady Labrynth's toes "konami's own design" homie
@@zerocalvinI'd expect all of those to be banned on principle
I'm sure this unofficial ban is totally not a poor attempt at grabbing a monopoly and all the cash they can.
unlike literally every other company that has ever tried to pull that move.
What, money? They don't want that, don't worry about it
That's why I call them komoney that's all they give a fuck about is money fuck komoney
If that's the thought you have. Glad you dont run a business. That paranoia would be crimpling.
You can still use Ultra Pro, Spellgrounds, etc.
Idk, some of the official playmats and sleeves are pure ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The artwork is fire af
But they get destroyed when shuffling
Some playmats could be cool but the giant Yu-Gi-Oh! on the front ruins them.
I agree as someone who has a bunch of the konami playmats I promise you the quality of konami's accessories are atrociously bad the sleeves tend to be frayed out the pack or bend your cards so yes let's use konami brand card sleeves which are inferior to dragon shields and bend our 200$+ bonfires let's do that.
push back against this crap good gentleman, obviously we can say no to hentai sexualized art.
@@morgothbauglir203double sleeve it
Literally, 'pure ass' 😂 thats why the ban
No. This is not anywhere near logical. A logical decision to combat lewd and perverted playmats would be...to ban lewd and perverted playmats. Not ban all custom mats. That's asinine, because that basically means I can't use my custom dinosaur playmat when I run dinos. I'm sorry, but if my mat isn't displaying some top quality cleavage action from Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, there's ZERO reason for it to be not allowed.
While I would agree with you, I wonder if the problem they ran into was "We can't find a way to word it that doesn't basically boil down to 'We can't DEFINE it, but we know it when we see it.'"
It's overstepping yes but they don't really have the means to define the lewd or perverted. Even if they did the judges would still have to constantly check the stuff to see if the threshold is crossed. So instead of trying to define a line, they just nuked the whole thing.
Because "lewd" or "offensive" is subjective.
What’s stupid is Konami already did that! They already banned lewd playmats at their events! This is just overreaching for a monopoly on accessories!
@@WavemasterAshi It doesn't take that much effort. Something to the extent of "playmats that feature artwork on them, other than officially licensed Yu-Gi-Oh artwork." There. Done. You can still use custom playmats if they either don't have artwork (like many cloth mats) or get a custom mat that has actual card art on it, but it covers the blanket of all lewd mats. It would still severely limit what accessories could be brought and would frankly still be criticized but it would still allow for custom mats, the only stipulation is that the only artwork that could be used would be things that Konami has direct oversight on.
They didnt ban Lewd mats. they banned ALL non-Konami mats...
Nope, they banned all non-official/license and non-yugioh mats. Say you have an official metal gear solid deskmat you wanted to use as a playmat you now can't despite MGS being a konami IP. Gotta be official/license yugioh only
@potatoexe5410 that's what I said 😂
@@YGOKingPhilno you didn't as non-konami is not the same thing as non-yugioh, since yugioh is one of many IPs under konami. My example was eith official MSG card accessories which is a Konami product but you still can't use it because it's not YGO
@@potatoexe5410 Okay if you wanna get technical, sure. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of ppl that read my comment know I'm talking about Konami Yugioh. Nobody is talking about metal gear solid. In fact, I've NEVER seen a non yugioh Konami card game playmat.
It would be fine if its lewd ya. But custom mats thst could be a problem cuz we all know a konami offical mat is expensive.
ban lewd and hentai stuff is normal but ... Ban all custom WHILE NOT IMPORTING 90% OF THE MAT AND SLEEVES FROM THE OCG
Konami is so logic ...
You can thank the degenerate coomers for ruining it for everyone else.
Two separate issues. There's no real way to define "lewd" in concrete legalese, so their official art or no art at all.
My man said 'legalese' better watch out for this guy 😆
@@Kylora2112 or they could treat it the way they do EVERY other thing like this, and how EVERY OTHER tcg has done, and just use the judgment of the organizers. but that might cost konami some of their komoney.
Does that include Mlikemat and Sabermaster mats?🤔
oh no my i:p masquerena konami official mat is now banned.... oh wait...
One way to solve this would be if Konami would do custom playmats themselves and add a Konami logo to show that this was green lit for tournaments.
But if the quality is anything like they're sleeves they'll probably last a month if not a week
They shouldd take the idea from Master duel. Make mats divided in 2 halves with linkable joints, like in puzzles, and let both players have their "own" side of the mat for tournaments.
Best way for Konami to solve this is for them to create their own lewd playmats.
@OP
That's not a good solution. Under your rules somebody could just make a lewd custom mat and have that same Konami logo on it
"See it's got the approved logo its fine"
Still making a judge waste their time going through to approve people's mats instead of removing the need to accessory check at all. Plain bold mats and official mats which could be easily recognized with a directory is simpler with less overall issues to keep the games going
@@Yepmyaccountno
This is why I left Yugioh years ago. Terrible policies after terrible. I have a friend who has a DBZ mat signed by all the voice actors which is now banned.
Correct, heck even if you had a Yugioh playmat signed by voice actors it would also be banned if it wasn’t a Konami mat.
@@MegaCapitalG
The signed mat could still fall under not being legal, even if it was an official Konami mat. Because only the unsigned version was approved, not the signed version.
I’m so happy I switched to Flesh & Blood.
I wish Konami would do like LSS & team up with another company to make their sleeves. The ones they have now are straight trash.
@CedricDones-ej4kxNo he's right. I get banning the super lewd ones to keep it family friendly or whatever but banning all of them is dumb. Just because you don't care doesn't make it good.
No one cares if you leave 🤷🏽♂️ go play one piece
"THINK OF THE CHILDREN" WHAT CHILDREN ALL I'VE EVER SEEN ARE GROWN MEN!!!!!
facts i run into like maybe 1 kid a year playing yugioh if that and mainly at regionals. Not too many kids playing yugi like we were in the early 2000s.
Teens are so mature right now lewd stuff doesn't bother them except for Bible thumpers and those with anxiety
Let's be real, yugioh hasn't been mainly for kids in years. The game is too expensive, and honestly too hard to get into to be bringing in kids regularly. Of course there are probably exceptions but it's mostly teens and adults, likely from other tcg's.
This is just a scapegoat for a cash grab. As bad as players are,they have a level of competence at times especially in big tournaments to not use Inappropriate gear and risk the negative attention. Konami finally,after all these years,realized that the gear they put out just gets thrown in the trash and is a waste of their resources. This is their way of forcing the Yugioh community to buy licensed product in droves without directly saying it.
You'll be surprised how unhinged some players can get with these accessories. Like I don't agree with the ban but I can see why someone up there thought that enough was enough
@@sammydray5919 I agree with your point. However,for Konami to declare something like this on a grand scale and blame all the community for what could've been maybe one situation is just an excuse. They know what their audience is capable of and even fuel the fire by way of examples like Nostalgia bait and waifu-esque products. Custom Gear is just trivial until it hurts profit margins.
@@sammydray5919 Then ban inappropriate content, they can already enforce it however they please, this is absolutely because they want to create a monopoly.
@@dars1961 I agree thats what they should do. But thats easier said than done. Especially since whats considered inappropriate can different for different people. For a lot of things like this, people would have to determine on a case by case basis which just seems way too much work and a logistics nightmare during the events themselves. And they do say that they wanna not waste judge resources on things like this.
Though PERSONALLY, I think they should have just made accessories check online, like how people submit deck checks while registration, have them submit pics of their accessories as well so they can determine whether they are appropriate or not in advance.
Dont know how they can implement it properly though 🤷♂️
Time to troll Konami bois, bust out the husbando mats.
Time to bring my Ricardo Millos playmat
Those are banned, too. Because they're all banned if you didn't buy them from Konami.

Not gonna lie, this doesnt just hit the weebs but people like me. I had recently gotten some cool Bionicle sleeves for my favorite decks
Yeah it's a pain because I have Tri brigade cloth mats since it is my favorite modern archetype and some cool appropriate touhou sleeves on my extra deck. I have also played since the start of the tcg and I can say Konami products are just not up to quality even if I like some of the sleeves. I haven't even seen or held a decent playmat by them in person.
Bionicle Sleeves for YuGiOh, this is so based, I love it
>Bionicle sleeves for Yugioh
What a crossover
Man I understand not having lewd images but man ALL un-official playmats and accessories seems a bit much tbh.
How do you make a line for something subjective like lewd? Also if they made a line you know people would be bringing mats and sleeves that go right up to that line and use the rules for a cudgel for why their "totally not lewd" playmat is legal.
@@sam7559 true I can see that perspective for sure. Idk man it’s just something they shouldn’t have tried to enforce. I know it’s cringe but it feels like the few have ruined it for the majority
@@Brandolorian89 they trying stop pedophiles and perverts why you made?
Banning lewd, pervy and hentai accessories is a great move on Konami’s part(though it took them long enough) but banning ALL custom accessories from tournaments, that’s ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!
It's definitely an overreach banning all 3rd party accessories, but if it means getting the creeps out, I'm fine with it.
@@spicymemes7458 spoken like a true fascist

@@Kaheiyattsu221 fascism is when they take my dark magician girl mat wearing a lingere(if any cloths exist)
@@Kaheiyattsu221 oh grow up. Seriously. What's wrong with you.
Proof that Konami hates it own fan base. Stop printing waifus to sale cards and we will not make custom playmats about ultimate slayer. On second thought keep printing them, but make them a little older the majority of the fan base is too old to be looking at most of them as it is.
How bout you just don't bring your horny mats to events where there are kids present?
I think it's not their fault that people bring inappropriate playmats to just women character mats.
Plus they already censor cards. It makes sense they'd ban the lewd ones. But every thing else kinda sucks
@@mgreysandersnah Let’s be honest because OP decks like branded and Snake eyes have “waifu” like attributes. It’s not bad or anything but Konami makes these type of cards.
@yandoeseverything370 the thing is there's a difference between the waifu like cards existing and a player bringing a custom board of the chatacter in a microkini with tits the size of her hear
Konami: "No lewd playmats, sleeves or binders!"
Fans: "what about that sweaty guy that hasn't showered in a week or that girl with the skimpy outfit and no bra?"
Konami: "......... thats different"
Just reduce that to the girl with a skimpy outfit because you can get DQ’d if you smell too bad
To clarify, LEWD ART WAS ALREADY BANNED. Their argument is that too many people were still breaking that rule, meaning they were spending too much time checking everyone's mats and sleeves, so now no customs whatsoever are allowed.
My counterpoint, however: won't they still now check if the mat you're using is a solid colour or official? Won't it still take just as much time? The reasoning is clearly BS, they just want people to buy the official product rather than their own custom stuff.
I own custom mats based around my other hobbies and interests, it's a way to express more of myself within the community. I get a lot of people were bringing inappropriate material to a game advertised for ages 6+, but the rules already in place should have just been enough. It can't take that long for even just 4-5 staff to walk past 1,000 people sat neatly at tables and flag down anyone they see with inappropriate art.
To clarify, this only applies to Worlds and the WCQ, invite-only events that are commonly livestreamed (and livestream policy requires you to do this already). And as of right now, only in Europe, but maybe NA later this year.
It is a lot easier to see from across a hall if a mat or sleeve is solid color or not and judges are probably expected to know what yugioh art looks like as well as the logo, that is easier and more concert definitions to work with rather than use ambiguous "I know it when I see it" arguments.
you would have a point, except here is the thing:
1) Usually Qualifiers and YCSs usually provide a free participation rubber mat and set of sleeves anyway. they make no money from that.
2) It’s only at Qualifiers and YCSs only. anything lower like locals or regionals you are still fine with custom (though come on, lay off lewd accessories. it really is cringe).
And at the very least, as those are the two events it would affect (as they are the ones broadcast), it at least makes sense even if it is inconvenient for some.
@Vanitas42 that does make sense tbf, them requiring you to use what they ask when they're broadcasting the event. Still a shame not to be able to use your own art for the whole event because of it; although I get it would be a pain to make everyone in a feature match resleeve their double-sleeved main, side and extra lmao
@@heftylad my solution for double sleeved would be use slim fit sleeves for Japanese size cards for the inner layer (preferably clear to work with heir rules and avoid any possibility of art showing through a top layer), that way you can easily put them in the sleeves they provide and keep them double sleeved.
so if they provide them, easily slip on the outer layer. if they don’t, just have a pack of solid color sleeves (like dragon shield or something) ready to go just in case
They will not care about the changes unless people stop showing up to big events and spend money so once again we can always complain and show we don’t like the changes but until we take the stand it doesn’t matter what we think. We make this game what it is, but we will be soldiers of the game and march on and keep playing with our blinged out decks and making komoney keep going!
Komoneeey!!! How dare you!!! You crossed the line 😡😡
I stop caring years ago. If they had them i didn't care. As long as kids never saw em i was fine. (Most people who still play in my area are adults)
Not many children have money to play yugioh full time anyway
Aslo this change is fine to me as some adults like to get werid playmats and sleeves
Just remember the english version was originally targeted at children
Like most card games i use to play mostly are adults anyway😅
That’s the most stupidest decision they ever make in their life because majority of people play are mostly adults.
@@Jonathanloh1992 your opinion not fact. Honestly I don't care. Just go to tournaments that allow it
Konami, this is a card game, not a Sunday Service…..
Shouldn't matter. When you're in a public setting you should have common decency regardless, not shoving cleavage in peoples faces. It's also a game primarily for kids, so even more reason to NOT have lewd mats, sleaves, deckboxes etc.
I want to believe this is the final thing that breaks the YGO community beyond repair, and forces them to actually boicott KONAMI, instead of kneeling as usual...but after seeing all the crap KONAMI has thrown to its player's base (and managed to get away with)...I wouldn't be surprised if most of the players do get along with this bullshit....Pd: While I would agree with the decency argument...we are literally talking about a game whose 99% of players are +18 male....AND we are talking about a company that its fine with an archetype like traptrix...so I just can't believe THAT's the main reason...
It isn't. There were three.
Also, just ask judges to DO THEIR JOB. That kind of stuff was apparently already illegal but judged didn't do anything about it, which reminds me of how smash ultimate ruined its tournaments.
They lost me as a duelist a long time ago and now this bullshit just made it even more official I'll never attend a live duel ever again fuck komoney that's all they give a fuck about is money
I seen another yugituber make a skit about this, i thought it was a joke.

Yeah but they been pushing for younger players I mean even the lame prizes you get for winning a ycs is for a younger audience where other tcg games pay cash or things of very high value.
I mean, makes sense when there are kids around. But 99.99% are grown ass men so….. eh.
While i do understand the stance against lewd/nsfw, unofficial, and even other TCG products, straight up saying Yugioh only or bust is stupid.
I can't even use official playmats or sleeves designed for general card game uses unless its Yugioh, and their products are ass.
All this shows is that they're trying to monopolize their player base and force them into using their shotty products or not play the game at that competative level. It would be somewhat understandable if Yugioh had quality products to use or have a good variety to choose from but they dont.
Not to mention they don't even allow playmats with their own artwork unless is licenced.
I have a playmat that i use for MTG, and probably would for YGO if i actually played the physical cards anymore, that's just a beautiful, tasteful, not lewd image of one of my favorite anime characters that isn't Konami-related...granted, I live in the US where the ban hasnt happened yet, but still...
Look….. I’m all for requiring playmats that aren’t lewd and have zones (since zone placement became more important)….. but Konami needs to make more mats and make them affordable. Or, if they don’t want to make them, outsource it like pokemon does
Or well, make good mats first
As a former Yugioh player who has moved to other card games, this has gone from the loosest accessory policy I've seen to the strictest. My main card games policy is no custom accessories but if it has a brand(even from a third party) it's fine. Even if someone dosen't have a legal mat they usually give them out at the registration as an entry prize.
What's the difference between a custom map and one with a company stamp? That I over paid for it and it looks like shit?
Outside of wanting to boost prices of their already shitty mats and sleeves that fall apart after like 5 uses, there's no reason this can't be a "No NSFW stuff" exactly like anime conventions.
That's funny coming from a card game that has many official cards that are borderline lewd card art. It's safe enough to be teenage friendly I suppose, but just a funny thing to point out when banning similar playmates.
Ah on one hand we have cartesia with big bags on the other we have no lewd stuff ah the duality of man
What about the Ojamas cause they are pretty lewd wearing nothing but speedos.
@@kish45 dang, my custom, caked up Ojama Trio mat is now useless!
Almost like having "big bags" isn't lewd in of itself or something.
If konami is going to enforce this they better increase the quality of those playmats that are often trash quality which for most folks causes them to go and get a custom playmat made that is both more appealing and better quality.
My charmer play mat has 4 young girls wering mini skirts it is an ocg official charmer playmat but if it doesn’t get banned I will complain to the Konami manager 😂
There is no curse in elvish, entish, ancient egyptian, and the tongues of man for this treachery to men of culture.
To be "of culture" is to reduce women to sex objects?
If they roll this out everywhere I mean America which literally advanced the custom and specialized accessories for Yugioh for the last 7 years I will quit. Like the deck boxes, the cloth companies that made a business from it, the card sleeve and accessories companies all being damaged by this and all the players that spent money on this are being compromised. This is fucked. I’m at the age now where if they keep doing tier 0 formats and forcing us into our games expensive decks just to play and now no accessories of our own choosing then naw I will be done with the game.
Just... ignore competitive ?
@@dudono1744 nah bro I spent money on cloth and accessories that are worth more than what the competitive cards market value becomes after banlist. I don’t think you understand that whole entire companies have been made for accessories for yugioh players, I’m not just talking other tcg, I mean they start because of yugioh players first and expand afterwards. Pvramid, imperial gaming, ophidian accessories, gem accessories, Amanda lapalme, meta mats, and other tcg focused companies are being screwed and the player base as well.

One of the main appeals of card games is customization so to not only ban all custom art mats but also sleeves is just ridiculous. It's like if you went to a Street Fighter tournament and they only allowed either regular stock controllers or Capcom official fight sticks.

THIS PLACE IS A FUCKING PRISON
It's not only waifu sleeve. It's any non official playmat.
I was looking at a stain glass gren maju playmat and technically it would be illegal because it's not an official Konami playmat or a solid color.
Correction any non official yugioh playmat. You can't use official playmats from other card games or konami playmats unless it's yugioh related. Metal Gear Solid has an official desk mat you wanna use as a playmat? Nope can't use it
This is going to piss off anyone who spends a decent amount on things like custom mats, spellgrounds, etc. Those things are NOT cheap. Hell, telling some players that they might HAVE to buy new sleeves for ALL of their decks is just adding insult to injury. Can I double or triple sleeve if Konami doesn't provide official inner or outer clear matte sleeves?
never understood why people played with mats showing big butts or boobs 😂. i figured it was meant to be a distraction for the opponent but that’s anime mindset like naruto sexy jutsu. doesn’t work on people trying to win a tournament imo.
Why doesn't this rule apply to Japan and the rest of Asia?
Okay fine, ban the playmat, Now, WHERE'S MY OFFICIAL ARMED DRAGON PLAYMAT KONAMI!?!

We should be objecting to every single bit of this. Not only should they not be prohibiting custom mats except lewd ones, and not only should they not be prohibiting custom sleeves except for the same thing, but being required to use THEIR mats and sleeves on stream...what if they start putting sponsorships on the mats - and aren't appropriately compensating the players who are using those on stream? If they get money for including any reference to any other product, they need to be paying for that privilege of their mats being on display.
Banning the lewd ones would become a slippery slope. They just went scorched earth for money and to sell theirs.
Nami and Lewd, literally have the same amounts of letters in both words/names... not a coincidence.
So Konami will ban playmats with waifu's on them but, they won't ban the whole Kashtira archetype? What the fuck Konami?!

Fun Fact, you can take an overlewd CenterField cause it's not Playmate or Sleeves XD.
Just a trash idea from Konami as always, Judge can just ban ppl who comes with this kind of playmate or order to pick another one.

I don't see anything wrong with having a custom mat of something you like, as long as it's not inappropriate. I get not wanting to have them on stream for copyright reasons, but that's already been a real. Just banning every custom mat as a whole is ridiculous. Making it easier for the judges? Is it really that hard for them to tell whether or not a mat is inappropriate now? I find that hard to believe.
I'm going to Euros myself and I'm gonna bring both my pvramid playmat and a konami mat. This is straight up the dumbest rule i've seen in ages. If they want me to play with their products they can start by making the Euros mat they're giving to everyone out of cloth and the sleeves matte and better to shuffle :)
first my deodorant now my playmat and sleeves? whats next gotta wear suit and tie?
Sucks that I can't use my Dino & Chaos mats from TSX1, but i still have other official mats I can use
My biggest issue with it isn't even the strictness, it's the fact that they're insisting on official Konami products and those suck huge hairy ballsacks. The playmats are okay but their sleeves are total wank.
I don't even play anymore (but I do judge and yes, I've heard some whispers of these changes being implemented in the NA region), but if I'm spending hundreds of dollars building a meta deck I damn sure wouldn't use Konami's craptastic sleeves to protect my cards.
I don't play competitive Yu-Gi-Oh, but this is just stupid. We spend lots of money just to get the necessary cards for our decks, meaning that we won't have enough to buy any new mats or sleeves. If we did buy mats and sleeves that are unofficial or solid, then what are we going to use? Play Yu-Gi-Oh like were kids who can't afford any sleeves and mats?!
Time to bust out the trial deck paper playmats.
konami be like: use our waifus not others!!!
Pvramid playmats being effected by this is crazy.
Lmao this is the equivalent of using a Nuke for a problem that just needs syringe.
Konami acting as if children actually play this game and not literal adults
Why? I love my mats. They’re stylish.
And before you ask, I have been told I am a good looking guy. I just like to have style.
I respect a guy with style. I just hope you ain’t lying
@@theskullboy8700 I promise I’m not, about my loos or my mats.
What’s wrong with a little eye candy? We’re all here to have fun.
@@vm141789 eh touché
@@theskullboy8700 But I will say this: I do care one official Konami mat with me, too, just in case. If an adult says it makes them uncomfortable (though that’s never happened; they usually compliment it) or, more notably, I face a kid in a match (very rare but can happen), I do switch to the Konami mat.
It’s all about who you face.
@@vm141789 What's wrong with it is forcing others to look at it. Keep your degeneracy at home.
My Pvramid playmat is now an expensive MTG mat for commander (and for locals)
I'm super pissed about this, because I legit bought OCG sleeves and oversleeve them. So that means they won't acknowledge the other tcg's accessories? Konami TCG man...
Pokemon: we have a sleeve policy
Konami: Hold my Beer
This is pretty dumb, for sure. Let's be honest, the only thing that should be hit is playmats with characters that have a lot of skin showing. Konami may not do bikini cards, but we should be allowed to have most playmats. I have Hunter X Hunter playmat that is normal, I should be able to use it. People are allowed to enjoy things and show them off. Deal with the problem, not everyone else. Just have guidelines for this that you educate judges on. I get the feeling this is to boost the sales of their card sleeves... that in my experience don't last that long. This cash grab designed to protect players will absolutely backfire.
People forget lewd, profane, and offensive items are already banned at all levels of play. No one listened and that's how we got here.
Okay define those things cause in the eyes of Konami on their own card it seems like fucking some arm pit or a open mid riff is enough to censor and nah son you might think that but it's fuckin clear that this is to block any non Konami IP stuff
@@michaelkeha This isn't it. It is clear they are going scorched earth because of the subjective nature of "lewd" items. These words have definitions, but what one draws the line at for being lewd, another might not. There are people who don't see full blown nudity as lewd. Depending on the context, they might be correct. It is pretty clear that people abused the subjective nature of this with over the top big anime boob mats, or sexually suggestive positions regardless of the amount of clothing. If you don't see that as part of the problem I do not know what to tell you. But just by looking up the definitions of the words you would think it would be pretty clear what not to do. It is always people trying to circumvent or bend the rules because they don't like being told no. Because of that, the ones that didn't do anything wrong get punished as well at those events only and only in those areas. It sucks, but you should be mad at the people that caused this, not the ones having to deal with it this way. The game is over 20 years old. There has been plenty of time for these people to figure it out and stop.
Ok I understand the sleeves (maybe some custom sleeves could help cheat in some impractical way) but no custom mats? What am I gonna do with my cool dark forest ultra pro mat that I've been using for years? Use it as a mousepad? :(
That's what I did my mat that uses the official artwork of Ma'am. And I wouldn't recommend it. I only did it because I had another cool mat and later on got 5 more.
This was done to satisfy the legal department. The acceptable list is as short as it is to completely avoid players skirting the line AND also removes the ability to play gotcha games with judges and tournament officials. While there may be a chance that these rules get refined or modified, this move is more "Throw it all in the dumpster, torch the dumpster, and start over" than anything else.
But this is where we are now.
Let's look at the bright side of this. Using genetic accessories means that if your possessions get lost or stolen, it doesn't hurt that much. I have Konami Dragonmaid sleeves and Konami Dragonmaid field center. My playmat isn't lewd, it's the Dragonmaids as they appear in the card art. I spent a fair amount of money on my things, I would rather take genetic accessories than loose any of my EXPENSIVE, custom or not, accessories.
Don't they check your decklist for the banlist before you play? Why don't they just check these accessories at that time, too? I get *some* weirdos insist on having gross custom stuff, but most players probably have really cool custom works of art they paid for. Plus, doesn't Konami already create scantily clad anime girls in all their cards? Seems like an excuse to charge people more money for official stuff.
Yeah, traptrix
Whips out the Traptrix paper mat~
I only play the OCG but I mean, why???? The lewd shit can dissappear for all I care but what about the rest? There are so many cool mats that people design that add that little bit of identity to a duelist's deck! Especially for people in tournaments, this sucks. You lose a bit of what makes you stand out among the contestants.
Good thing I’m rocking the official Dark Magician Girl sleeves and game mat that Konami released.
Does the dark magician girl mat have zones? From what I understand any product without zones is also banned.
@@SuupurSaniccvery doubt. Not all konami releaed products have zones, in fact many of em dont.
I don't care that hentai mats are cringe. People have the right to be cringe. I care about what minors are exposed to.
Yugioh has been exclusive to 20+ year old guys for years now
@@ganymedehedgehog371 How so? Minors are still allowed to compete in tournaments.
@@wakkablockablaw6025did you see any in those years? 🤔😂
@@DeejTiuz I'm not the type of guy to ask people if they are below 18
@@wakkablockablaw6025 was an ironic and retoric joke. Btw Just look some livestreams, Yu-gi-oh Is not for Kids anymore.
Lewed playmats were already banned, so there's no point in repeating it all over again in the policies. At least here it's clear and there's no room for interpretation. It's sad, but it's nothing new that a small group of abusers means that everyone loses out in the end.
Okay Cap, you gotta show me the mat or sleeves with Stratos sucking on Burstinatrix's toes like you mentioned in this video. I need to see that wild sh!t.
I love how Konami just shot themselves in both feet with this ruling, because now I am gonna wait for Pandora's Box to open up and see all of these content creators and companies start scalping duelists big money for official gear. And then there's......
I did see one of Sangan licking the Tour Guide from the Underworld's feet, so there is that.
I totally get wanting to get rid of gross and weird playmats and stuff, but i think a much simpler solution is to just increase the penalties for that sort of thing, if people get disqualified from tournaments for that sort of thing they'll have to stop eventually
Look I don’t like it when duelist pull up with their lewd shit. That tour guide and sangan shit has scarred a part of my brain for life. But all custom accessories is excessive. Especially if the Konami official products are bad quality.
scared to ask but what is the tour guide + sangan thing
@@TheKitty699 You would think it's Tour Guide with a Sangan poping out of her bag, like how Sangan is almost always special summoned due to her effect and would be kinda cute. That's what I though about up until searching a month ago and finding that nope, it's disgusting NSFW.
@@N12015 the world can’t be satisfied with cute things
Are u triggered 😂😅
@@user-rb1zh3pl5p I mean yeah
I still buy lewd waifu and anime girl playmats, I just don't use them to play.
That seems to be what they are going for
Imagine a music concert where Konami is the host.
*People:* Some people make me cringe when they dress too exposed.
*Konami:* Introduces sharia laws.
Me with a magikuriboh deck box and mat with matte black sleeves: I see this as an absolute win.
Good; they're cringe as fuck.
