What do Doom, Pokémon, Christian radio hosts, the Columbine moral panic, and the literal Prince of Darkness have in common? According to decades of outrage merchants — they’re all recruiting your children for Satan!
In this episode we dive into the long-running hysteria around “satanic video games” — from the demon-slaying chaos of Doom to Diablo, Devil May Cry, Shin Megami Tensei, Dante's inferno, Afterparty and the global phenomenon of Five Nights at Freddy's.
This episode explores satanic panic, religious censorship, Christian fundamentalism, video game violence debates, culture wars, moral hysteria, and the recurring habit of blaming pop culture instead of people.
Are video games corrupting youth?
Is digital violence a sin?
Are cartoon boobs more spiritually dangerous than warfare simulators?
And why does Satan consistently get better branding than God in gaming?
