> “Moral panic” is just an academic jargon term for “settle down peasants.”

The irony of this that it portrays everything referred to as a moral panic as something worthy of legitimate worry and/or outrage that was brushed aside by more influential socioeconomic groups.

Which now makes me wonder how many of the examples listed here qualify.

If I'm understanding you correct.
