Remember how the homicide rate exploded after violent video games became popular?

They know this logic doesn't make sense. People are unfortunately happy to lie about it, despite decades of evidence to the contrary.

They insisted rock and roll, jazz, and dancing they didn't like were going to harm women too. Somehow that didn't seem to happen either.

Don't forget the D&D satanic panic! I also remember my local Baptist youth group burning Harry Potter books back when they came out. These people are unreasonable, they don't care about logic. They care about imposing their views and morals on those around them.
