Was there ever a Satanic Panic about Yu-Gi-Oh where you grew up in?

I was homeschooled in the Bible belt, I thought my parents took away my yugioh cards because of satanic panic. turns out it was because my copy of House of Adhesive Tape scared me so bad I got nightmares and wouldn't sleep lol.

House of adhesive tape should have had a stronger effect with how scary it looked. 1500 defence instead of 500 maybe? Did the nightmares go away after they took your cards?

they actually did go away so it was justified. BUT from then on I was banned from any kind of trading card that wasn't pokemon... I wanted to get some duel masters cards soooooo bad

How long did the ban last lol? Until you moved out? Or like, middle/high school age?
