Everyone Is Satan in Hell: Difference between revisions

Expect a lot of [[Did Not Do the Research]] (especially [[You Fail Logic Forever]]), [[Dan Browned]], [[Insane Troll Logic]], [[Cowboy Bebop At His Computer]], and [[Critical Research Failure]] among these people (many of whom believe that [[Hollywood Satanism]] is [[Truth in Television]]).

* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' contains "witches". Centuries ago, "witch" strictly meant someone who made a [[Deal With the Devil]]; therefore, even though the modern connotation of "witch" is simply "one who can do magic" and ''has nothing to do with Satanic origins'', the magic must be Satanic and encouraging kids to pursue the same! The sad thing is that even a half-close reading of the series shows many parallels with Christian doctrine and the Gospels, especially by ''[[Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]]'', but the [[Moral Guardians]] just don't know when to stop! One criticized Voldemort's drinking of unicorn blood, claiming that the book was teaching children that they could gain immortality by drinking the blood of something that wasn't Jesus. Of course, they didn't mention the parts where it's explained that drinking unicorn blood is an atrocious thing to do and that while it will stop you from dying, you will live a cursed half-life.<ref>John Granger's extensive research into the symbolism of ''Harry Potter'' goes a different route, pointing out that the unicorn has long been a symbol of Christ Himself... overthrowing that "something other than Christ" claim and furthermore nailing Voldy's act by calling up Paul's comments on "drinking [communion] in an unworthy manner."</ref>

** In the original edition of his anti-''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' (see below) tract "Dark Dungeons", [[Jack Chick]] claimed that the works of [[CS Lewis (Creator)|CS Lewis]] and [[JRR Tolkien (Creator)|JRR Tolkien]], which ''D&D'' was based on, were... you guessed it. This is hilarious because Mr. Lewis was a professional Christian writer and apologist; one of his more famous works was ''[[The Screwtape Letters]]'', in which he details the methods for combating Satan's influence, and ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' is today treated as a [[The Moral Substitute|Christian substitute]] for ''[[Harry Potter]]'' by some parents. Tolkien was also a devout Christian, and was supposedly responsible for Lewis' conversion.

* ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' gets this treatment [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRM5ihaKWRA here.] Yep, Edward Cullen was ''obviously'' named after the kid who escaped a Satanic cult that one time, and the chessboard on Breaking Dawn's cover is ''obviously'' supposed to look like the floor of a Masonic lodge. Incidentally, Bill Schnoebelen is the guy who claims that ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' contains "authentic" spells and rituals. Given the bizarre, sensational, and contradictory stories he's told over the years, it's conjectured that he simply makes a large portion of his stuff up.

* Legendary ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' hater "Allecto" picked apart just about every action and line of dialogue in the series in an effort to expose what she saw as [[Joss Whedon]]'s hatred of women. [[Hate Dumb|As far as she was concerned]], the show was Whedon's manifesto of how he thought women should be abused by men.

* [http://vigilantcitizen.com/ Vigilant Citizen]. A website devoted to finding all of the [[The Illuminati|Illuminati]]/[[Ancient Conspiracy|Masonic]] symbolism and [[Brainwashed|brainwashing]] in the pop culture world, from ''[[Sherlock Holmes (Film)|Sherlock Holmes]]'' and [[Disney]] to [[Lady Gaga]] and [[Beyonce]]. There is a swelling undercurrent of believers who have congregated to [[YouTube]] to warn of the evils of music videos, children's programming and everything else in popular culture. The amount of reaching (and "research") is scarily staggering. See: the 5 part series on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAqYfYSRZZk possession of Beyonce], the 11 part series on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDgUTQYEIas Jay-Z's "Satanic Connections"], and the 21(!) part series on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEkANn1IBaQ Rihanna's "Umbrella" video]. This site, and others like it, hasn't gone unnoticed among the celebrities targeted; [[Lady Gaga]] is to the point where she is milking it for all it's worth, and [[Jay-Z (Music)|Jay-Z]]'s [[Take That|response]] was the brilliant and darkly artistic video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM1RChZk1EU "On to the Next One."]

* [[Metapedia (Wiki)|Metapedia]] is this for white supremacists. "Anti-Racism" redirects to "Anti-White Movement."

** ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil]]'' will give you [http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=58358 real demons!]

** ''[[Avatar (Film)|Avatar]]'' is conditioning people to [http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=69924 accept reptilians and half-human hybrids].

** [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Klingons]] are [http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=62380 also part of the reptilian agenda - and the "Klingon" language is really the reptilian language!]

* Since the colorless energy image on the Pokémon [[Pokémon (Tabletop Game)|trading card game]] looks like a hexagram, it's obviously a Zionist conspiracy, hence the game being [[Banned in China|banned in Saudi Arabia]].

* Worth mentioning is the ''[[Magic the Gathering]]'' [[Hate Dumb]]. It has been associated with everything from pagan rituals to tarot cards.

* ''[[Pokémon]]'' -- accused of being Satanic for various reasons. Two ridiculous examples that stand out is the accusation that the -mon suffix stands for "demon"<ref>It stands for "monster" in this series. This confusion is more sensible than the others, because Pokemon shares a genre with [[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Shin Megami Tensei]].</ref> or that the card game is a "stepping stone" to ''[[Magic the Gathering]]'' (see above). That the [http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon11.htm Pope approves of Pokémon] does not necessarily help, as many fundamentalist Protestant sects consider him to be the Anti-Christ.

* Some broadcasters worry about showing the 1942 Academy Award-winning Disney cartoon ''[[Der Fuehrers Face (Disney)|Der Fuehrers Face]]'' because [[No Swastikas|it is rife with swastikas and other Nazi imagery]]. NOTE: The cartoon is ''anti-Nazi'', and has to show such things precisely so it can condemn them. But, [[Poe's Law|you know...]]

* Parodic (if eerily realistic-looking) complaints about ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' can be found; the usual themes are that the show is anti-Christian because it includes magic, shows animals as sapient when only humans are made in the image of God, and the fact that [[Insane Troll Logic|the name of the show's producer is]] Lauren ''[[Faust]]'', so [[Insane Troll Logic|she obviously must have a Satanic agenda]]. A good example is [http://shelleytherepublican.com/2012/01/28/my-little-pony-friendship-is-satanic.aspx here].

* The Cloud Ten film ''Deceived'' seems to have been made by the type of people who made this trope. A 6.66-second long sound byte that the military claimed came from space makes people's... um, sinful natures more prominent, and eventually [[Cursed With Awesome|gives them funky]] [[Psychic Powers]]. The signal's ''true'' origin turns out not to be space, but the depths of Hell itself.

* ''Rock: It's Your Decision'', a Christian-made film about [[The New Rock and Roll]] (reviewed brilliantly by [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|Brad Jones]]) becomes all about this. A formerly rock-loving teen starts to discover all the "horrible and evil" elements to rock music, eventually turning against it completely by the end of the movie. However, as pointed out in Jones' review, the "hero" of the film clearly [[Did Not Do the Research]] in many instances, and by the end has become so paranoid, self-righteous and horrible to everyone around him that one kind of has to wonder if the audience was really meant to side with him.

* Through a combination of a poor knowledge of history, general paranoia, and the Aes Sedai tendency to meddle in ''everything'', any people in ''[[The Wheel of Time (Literature)|The Wheel of Time]]''-verse believe the Aes Sedai to be evil and aligned with the Dark One. By and large, the most you could say about them is that they're incompetent.

* The Whiteadders from ''[[Black Adder]]'' are devout followers of this trope, believing that everything from mashed turnips to ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|sitting on chairs]]'' is the work of the devil.
