      I can work with this. I summoned a dank pneumonia one time I was doing a ritual with gasoline in the snow. I’ll just boof the blood orange juice and I guarantee whatever monster or dragon or giant cube of slime I’m fighting will be running for the hills after that!

  I got into D&D in the late ‘80s. My super-christian grandma even tried to play. My dad’s church thought I was going straight to hell, though.

  It’s mildly interesting that this claim originated during a time (~80s) when such claims also originated about rock and metal music. Both of which happened to be new (or at least newly popular) during that time. In a way it was the analog equivalent of modern FUD and misinformation spreading on social media. Maybe even disinformation, but probably just misinformation and FUD.

  • Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It was very much disinformation. The whole satanic panic bullshit was based on far right propaganda.

    • FishFace@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I can’t find any corroboration of that, can you say more? The D&D thing specifically was started by someone whose son committed suicide and she attributed his death to D&D.

    To be fair, this was likely a reverse problem of today: not enough social media or freely flowing info via the internet.

    People who did not know assumed much from manual covers.

    • OpenStars@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      We thought the Internet would be our salvation… wow were we wrong.

      Funny side story: we also though that technology, particularly AI, would save us - again, swing and a miss (tbf, LLMs != AI, so we still don’t truly know, though we’ve lost hope for it anyway since even if they did exist they would be controlled by the elites not applied to the good of of all humanity).

    I have no clue what FUD stands for. But as I’m too lazy to look it up, I have to assume it’s something satanic.

    • kyub@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Stands for “fear, uncertainty and doubt”. It’s actually a very relevant term. In a lot of contexts. It’s when people influence you to either fear, have uncertainty about, or doubt something. Sometimes this happens without any intent, for example if you’re unsure about some new situation or thing, you tend to first view it more negatively because you have some fear or doubts about it (which might not be warranted). But sometimes, it can have malicious intent (e.g. right-wing extremists spreading FUD about human subgroups they don’t like. Usually the first step before more aggressive behavior happens).

    I immediately lose all confidence in people willing to use FUD in 2026 years since Jesus died for our cringe.

    There have been similar moral panics about whatever the kids were doing throughout history, including comic books, jazz, prose literature, the waltz, polyphonic music, and even writing stuff down instead of just remembering it.

      But polyphonic music really does summon the devil!

  For years, my friends would get a ride from my one friend's grandpa over to my place to play various tabletop games--four to six teenage boys and me, a teenage girl. We learned once we were in college that he thought all that time that they were all coming over to rail me. For years. And he just happily drove them all over.

  My husband’s parents bought into the satanic panic fully, apparently. He pretended to be making model airplanes instead of playing with the guys.

  My parents played ad&d together in college so. There was a difference lol.

  Technically, the occult is math, too. The word “occult” just means “hidden,” and that’s how we do things in the occident, where we have engineered our culture to control those people who cannot think for themselves whilst simultaneously guiding those waking up into the truth of the topological matrix we are not IN but rather ARE.

  But that’s not Satanism, though Satanism COULD be one of the portals out of the police state default culture; I’m just not familiar with that particular portal. I learned from Jebus and the Boobha, whomever those guys are, but one’s words are shaved down for the above purpose and can be understood with an eighth grade reading level, while the other has these things called sutras which manifested from many enlightened beings sharing their wisdom, sometimes in ten thousand pages, sometimes in poems. Y’know, what I and other occult leaders do in our own mysticism schools.
