There are tons of parallels between the media and moral panic over DnD/Satanism and the media and moral panic over Whiteness/BLM/White supremacy. I truly believe we'll look back at the age of wokeism the same way we look back at other moral panics.

I'm sorry, but that seems like a major stretch. This seems like you're just trying to fan some flames.

  Not a stretch at all. The origin story of these panics have major parallels: A DnD game gone wrong, which lead to a man killing himself since he lost touch with reality. A Black teenager gunned down in the street by a racist White cop after running away and holding his hands up. Both of these stories are absolute fiction. The former had a history of suicidal thoughts and substance abuse. The latter assaulted a police officer and tried to wrestle his gun away just minutes after he committed strong armed robbery of a corner store.

    Hm. It seems you have missed (intentionally?) some bits of history, like holocaust, apartheid and slavery.

        Don't think so. You made it sound like the base of the whole BLM movement was a fake incident, while racism is still very real, which is the real base. While on the other hand D&D had nothing to do with satanism or occultism.
