Remebered the Satanic Panic of the 2000s?

Guys, do you remember the Satanic Panic of the 2000s in our state? I still remember, as a kid, burning all my Marvel comic posters and being terrified of playing computer games at night because a zealous female preacher at a Chhanchhuahna kids' camp warned us that the devil could crawl out of the screen and strangle us. We left that camp more terrified of Setan-a than we had ever been before. Preachers like Faktea were really doubling down on the panic.

There were all sorts of wild rumours, stories of "Satanic rituals" in graveyards, actual church vandalism, and even bizarre claims of women giving birth to the "devil’s love child." It was a crazy time. I still remember a video of a young man supposedly being exorcised, poor guy. I wonder what that kind of exposure did to him and how stupid we were as a collective to film and distribute it like it was some kind of proof. Hope he’s doing well now.

Thinking back, I feel like some people probably had their reputations ruined, just like during the Satanic Panic of the ’80s in America, though maybe not as extreme.

Now, it’s surreal how that era has turned into a meme. These days, we still joke about the wannabe "Satanists" in the vengs.
