What is a moral panic? It’s when the society feels threatened or anixiety from a certain issue or situation. We have seen plenty of them but this article talks about 6 of the most insane ones that have occured. One of them included comics and how they are influencing the minds of kids. Some of the content is not suitable for kids and parents are stressing over the fact that some comics include homosexuality. I honestly don’t feel that comics should even portray such an adult topic but I don’t think it is such a huge deal that there should be a moral panic. Another moral panic involves the game Dragon and Dungeons. This game is suppose to be a group game that is suppose to be fun but people believe that it is actually a dangerous fantasy that would cause kids to commit suicide or crime and even start to belive in Satan. I think this is just too carried away. Honestly, everything is just how you make of it. All it takes is a few people to feel a certain away and spread the word. I just think people in general lets these certain things take a hold of them faily easy and some of us may even want these sort of things to happen so there is something to hype about and talk about.
