« You’re wrong about » podcast really drove the point home about the dumbness of the satanic panic stuff… I wasn’t yet a conscious being when it all happened but good god was that some overblown BS.

Looking back at it through the long lens of history, I have experienced

- conservatives losing their shit over Dungeons & Dragons

- conservatives losing their shit over Judy Blume

- conservatives losing their shit over Twisted Sister

- conservatives losing their shit over 2 Live Crew and Sister Souljah

- conservatives being totally fine with shit-tons of guns, if kids are murdering each other it's because of KMFDM

- conservatives being totally fine with shit-tons of guns, if kids are murdering each other it's because of Shakespeare

- conservatives being totally fine with shit-tons of guns, if kids are murdering each other it's because liberals are to blame somehow, probably Dungeons & Dragons, Twisted Sister, Shakespeare and Judy Blume
