Watching "In Search of Darkness" Part 3, horror movie docuseries, available on Shudder or AMC+.  Really good stuff for anyone who's a fan of horror, especially retro horror (70s/80s). They're doing the segment on the Satanic Panic.  For those that don't know, this was the time in 80s where we were told by our leaders and the media that Satan was out to get us, either via movies or heavy metal music.  Obviously it turned out to be all BS, as it was just people trying to legislate morality, create fear and push their religious agenda. I'm watching this and I'm like damn, this is exactly what we're seeing now with the culture war waged from the right.  The gays, save the kids from books and sex and blood sucking satanists.  Then I googled and found some good articles, of course I was not the first one to make this connection. https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/satanic-panic-queer-artists-lil-nas-x-sam-smith-demi-lovato-1235254289/ https://www.salon.com/2023/06/19/i-grew-up-in-the-satanic-panic--and-its-happening-again/ https://baptistnews.com/article/lets-do-the-satanic-panic-once-again/
