   @Vidmastereon @rlier23 To add to this; there was a different group of people angry back then and now.
   
   The old generation of moralfags were both boomers worried that their kids would mimic the television/video games (which would lead to hit pieces about how "the shooter/criminal was found with a game that depicted the same thing"), censors/the usual suspects playing into their worries, or stereotypical religious pastors/imams bitching about their kid being into a popular video game franchise/book series.
   
   In a way, this mindset ended up making religion uncool, coming off as a tool for your boomer family members to use to smash your hobbies or to harass you for doing anything they don't like. Why would any kid go to church when it's some boomer screeching at you for having fun, or your family using it to do so?
   
   The new wave of Tumblrites and varieties of this are different in their reasons for puritanism. While some of them are "think of the children", as anti natalism thrives much of their arguments boil down to "pixels/drawings have rights". To them, the world of Wreck It Ralph in which video games are just things that take place on the "other side" of the glass is real. They're not doing it to protect kids, hell they're not going to have kids. They're doing it because cartoons have rights.
