I'm confused are you saying that the satanic panic is something we should be concerned about because it led to a ton of witch hunts against innocent people or that people are waking up to the notion that all of this will lead to another witch hunt?
Because the satanic panic was pretty fucked up. A lot of innocent people went to jail, victims families harassed, and children subjected to psychiatric torture because of flawed reasoning. It also did little or nothing to prevent child molesters. Even shit like hard copy in the 90s tried the witch hunt narratives on high profile cases which pretty much gave the perps a free pass or a smokescreen to hide behind.
read the article my friend. It's all coming around again, and it is called "the witch-hunt narrative" or Satanic Panic, used to discredit survivors, their support system and their testimony, used to suppress prosecution and to over-turn pedo convictions. Pretty effed up, and the lawyers are literally gearing up to do it again, this time with precedent decisions.
That or it's an actual witch hunt perpetrated by paranoid psychopaths who were y2k preppers, 9/11 truthers, screaming about black helicopters who have to ruin every chance at getting the truth. I saw that shit in england after the false allegations against jimmy saviles estate and the day care hysteria in the 80s. This is all just a little bit of history repeating itself.

read the article? it should be self explanatory
If you think my headline is confusing, maybe i should change it. If you have a suggestion after looking at the article let me know.
