The Satanic Panic was this period of time, ranging from the 80s to the early 00s, where a bunch of parents and adults started accusing innocent things and persons of being the devil incarnate.
I was very young when the entire thing fell apart (the 9/11 being the main culprit of its fall), but I somehow remember my mom being really hostile to Pokémon and other Japanese stuff. My older sibling has told me that my mother would never shut up about how Satan was planning to hypnotize the children and other crazy stuff. What seems surreal to me is that she is a totally different person than what I remember, and what older people had told me about her. Nowadays she is pretty much an agnostic and she is very critical of religious fanatics.
What are some of your experiences of those crazy times?
