It's funny that we still get people memeing about & mocking a few evangelical churches saying that Harry Potter or DnD were demonic, but this stuff gets a complete pass, and now these people have gained enough power that they're censoring most of the entertainment landscape.
I mean, we're talking about RL Stine here. One of the safest, most kid-friendly, apolitical horror writers to ever exist. They found him too problematic. Warning of things to come.
