First of all… you may, totally, use that as a band name, as I am not.
Today I learned that one of the seminal works kicking off the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s is available in an OCR scan over at the Internet Archive (they’ll host your stuff for free, forever) A Christian Response to Dungeons and Dragons
It’s only 24 pages, so I just couldn’t help myself and had to read it. The OCR is a little flaky in some spots, and the original text must have had more than a little bit of formatting to it. Font sizes and styling jump around inconsistently, an occasional word is incomprehensible (context clues FTW) - but it’s physically readable.
The book itself isn’t much more than a promotional excerpt for the authors’ longer work on the “demonic nature” of popular culture - for the low, low (inflation-adjusted) price of $55!
I’m not going to annotate the thing but, probably unsurprisingly, it’s chock-a-block with logical fallacies, internal contradictions, outright untruths (of the “trivially researched” variety), and some highly-probable fabrications.
Thankfully, the authors manage to conjure a bit of gentle, self-deprecating humor and avoid coming off like sanctimonious crusaders. They manifest the persona of concerned, intelligent people presenting measured, reasonable approaches to child-rearing. The extensively cite chapter and verse scriptures on the subject, dressed up with veneer of intellectual and human respectability to make them seem other than the swivel-eyed loons that they are.
Any time someone takes pains to enumerate a bunch of specific evils, then lays all the blame for said evils on some specific entity - they’re running an influence campaign, an operation, and they’re hoping there are enough credulous marks to bankroll their next op.
