Podcasting Day: The Satanic Panic, with Jason Pargin! ๐ญ
Added 2021-03-17 12:01:02 +0000 UTC
I would wish you all a Happy Podcasting Day, but Iโm afraid thatโs inappropriate today. This is a Very Special Episode of the Dogg Zzone 9000 where Jason Pargin helps us tackle a very serious problem: Satan.
Yes, it takes three to tackle Satan - one for each leg and one up high - but more specifically, weโre talking about the Satanic Panic. It was a hilarious and ridiculous nationwide witch hunt that spanned all of the 1980s, and the inherent comedy of panicky idiots seeing the devil in nerd games was only slightly dampened by the many, many real lives it ruined.
Luckily Seanbaby brought the craziest god damn book to lighten the mood: Satanic Ritual Abuse: A Therapistโs Handbook.
Itโs a manual for gullible therapists on how to coach attention-seeking adults into bad improv about the devil, and itโs full of illustrations youโd only pretend to put on the fridge even if you loved your lobster-clawed blind child very much.
Our fine Patrons get the bonus episode, where Jason sticks around to watch Aquaman do very little in a confusing tale of Super Friends! And donโt forget to buy Jasonโs incredible new book, Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick, wherever incredible new books or dick punches are sold. Please also subscribe to our podcast wherever podcasts or dick punches are subscribed to, and leave a review! Be sure to mention that it DEFINITELY DOESNโT sound like weโre all a bunch of fuckinโ dweebs who the devil would never hang with. Clarify that it DOES NOT sound like that.
WE LOVE YOU, SNAP-SNAP, BUT THESE ARE OVEN DRAWINGS.

Been going through it and listening to your podcast has been really great. Thanks to Mr Pargin he is truly a modern day Socrates and I do not say that lightly. Thanks to the Dogg Zzone (9000)

2021-03-23 16:50:15 +0000 UTCI can't imagine what it's like not being forced to grow up religious. I had to go to my step-grandma's church for years in case there was an inheritance. But grandpa died first and she remarried, leaving me with nothing but decades of free-floating general anxiety and vague sense of doom that vanished almost immediately upon accepting that Christianity was bullshit. My parents were good people, but that was definitely abusive (especially the part where the church told me my parents were going to hell). I don't even hold them completely responsible, They were as much victims as I was of our society's insistence on pretending any of that nonsense is real.

2021-03-18 16:42:22 +0000 UTCTo be fair, I'm about 5 years younger than Jason/Sean and did not grow up religious. This was always just a joke to me - I had none of that personal connection.

2021-03-18 13:04:18 +0000 UTCThe Satanic Panic is just an incredibly fascinating topic that's both deeply sad and darkly hilarious. Robert Evans did a pair of episodes about it that are also well worth checking out.

2021-03-18 13:03:09 +0000 UTCThis panic is endlessly fascinating and itโs repetition through the ages is weird as fuck. Side note: my 5 year old was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes last night. The only thing that cheered me up was a Jason Pargin guest episode. So, in the most Miami Connection way possible. Thanks buddies
Good Satan and his hot witches
2021-03-18 05:01:20 +0000 UTCBrockway's comic relief saved this episode, Sean and Jason seemed continually on the verge of drowning in the combined awfulness and ludicrousness of this book. Real talk though: I have a close friend who had DID (what they used to call multiple personality), and rest assured it does happen, and it's often a way of coping with hideous abuse. But the shitty thing about this Satanic Panic is that it's NOT NECESSARY. Dee Brown is actually CORRECT when she talks about people with that diagnosis coming out of a house of terrible abuse, chaos and danger, combined with having to cover it up and be "perfect" in public. All that is true. You do NOT have to add an additional layer of robes and goat-head genitals, a conspiracy involving the entire population of a city and piles and piles of dead babies! It is not necessary to explain the obvious, i.e. why someone's personality would fragment under the pressure of awful abuse + secrecy/gaslighting!

2021-03-18 05:01:10 +0000 UTCI know a lady who claims to have been a victim of her parents' satanist cult as a kid. Her stories combine dramatic The Omen style rituals with like Passion of the Christ physical torture. You've probably already guessed she doesn't have any noticeable scars from the 13 years of scourging and burning. That would almost seem suspicious if I wasn't 100% certain this was a totally real thing that happens.

2021-03-17 13:47:46 +0000 UTCI panicked about Satan once. Then I realised heโs just misunderstood. And who amongst us hasnโt had a massive falling out with our father, tempted two naked people in a garden, been denounced by the church and society at large and inspired acts of ritual nudity and reckless abandon? Literally none of us, not one. Youโre one of us, Satan. An honorary hotdogger. Iโm on another watchlist, arenโt I?
