The satanic panic really just don't hit like it used to.

Merle panics in general.

You know what I'm saying?

It's like every once in a while you see that it's usually like Met Gallo season, right?

Whenever like the Met Galler or like some fancy shit like that happens or celebrities

dress up and you have Doja Cat showing up and like all red.

You know what I'm talking about?

Or she's an actual cat.

Or she's an actual cat or she's an actual cat or like sam smith

wears something crazy like look it's satan yeah this is literally just saying it's got like devil horns

and stuff it still happens but it doesn't hit like it used to right i feel like what is it in

the 80s and 90s like the satanic panic the satanic panic you had motherfuckers talking about like oh d and d it's going to turn your kids into satanist that's cool yeah that's pretty sick uh heavy metal going to turn your kids into satanus that's also another really cool moral panic playing video games playing video games that's a good one uh one of my personal favorites if you play this record backwards it's going to be the devil talking oh So good. Such a gas. Or you play the, the Pokemon theme song backwards and it'll say like, praise the devil or whatever. Yeah, exactly. Those were sick. They were so creative, right? And they got so much air time on local news because they had fucking nothing better to do. I'm worried about. You know what I'm saying? But now I feel like those moral panics,

they're just trying to do the same things over and over again. They lack creativity. They lack energy. Yeah. It's like now all the moral panics are just directly targeting trans people. Yeah, they're just the bad ones. Like strictly bad ones for society, for minorities, for people in general. Yeah. they're not these like fun choose your own adventure stories it's just like oh this crazy thing

happened and it's trans people fault. Like, they did it to you. I would much rather have to be like, mom, I promise it's not the devil talking to me when I accidentally let my record play backwards, then have to be like, mom, no, gays are not grooming kids. Yeah, yeah. Like the level of discussion that you can have, I'd just much rather have the, I promise

Satan's not speaking to me in my ear when I watch Harry Potter.

The stakes are far too high nowadays.

J.K. Rowling is being.

Maybe the demons are the friends we've made along the way.

Yeah, yeah.

No, but yeah, like the stakes are way too high now.

Moral panics aren't fun anymore. It's like actual life or death at this point. It's like, damn. And it's like maybe the Sam Smith is the double one would be more fun if we didn't also have the gays or groomers ones going on and all of the other race ones and just pretty much everything else going on. maybe that would be more fun. it's like you look at that too and it's really like it's just because sam smith is gay too

yeah like it's all just homophobia that's it all boils down yeah i mean and it was like it was that
