Spot on, but we still play along with the charade because it's cathartic. I was raised by people like this and I feel an inch closer to humanity when I get to talk shit on the strawman.
yeah as I said people like this do exist. not even a strawman really, if you remember the various iterations of satanic panic, with d&d, heavy metal, harry potter... funnily enough the last one turned out to be written by a demon.
