[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 7842961, member: 7015719"] Here in Sweden, we did get some of that Satanic Panic. The leaders were one pastor of one of the more wacky religious groups (think Westboro Baptists), and 2 dramapedagogues. The latter wrote a book called "De övergivnas arme" (translates to "the army of the abandoned"). The latter also wrote some questionable material they gave to the police to be included in their trainings. Let's just say that they have now been thouroughly debunked as unhinged and doing extremely bad research to say the least. They did succed in getting on national TV with an irate talkshow-host that was very biased. And then the game Kult came... Suddenly you could no longer buy rpg's in toystores, or bookstores. Tolkien had gotten some bad flack earlier. The translator of his book wrote a book called "Tolkien och den svarta magin" (translates to "Tolkien and the black magic"), where he vilified Tolkien and the Tolkien societies in Sweden. Didn't help that Tolkien was less than pleased about his translations. [/QUOTE]
