Is there anyone here who believes in this thing?
I'll be honest but I don't believe it, I don't buy that idea these days.
It could have been true in past decades, but I would attribute it to the speed and availability of information at the time.
The population did not have many sources to compare and verify the veracity of the information and media they consumed, especially something made for shock value.
but today where every film, article and news is overanalyzed on the internet for months and the speed at which it spreads encourages various discussions ,even with experts, the only way to spread misinformation is through government censorship and multimillion-dollar companiespropaganda, but is still difficult for the truth not to find its way.
hell, even with the support of multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate for more than a decade the LGBTQ+ community does not see itself any closer to being accepted by the population and sees the world being controlled by white supremacy, despite there being nothing in the media being produced supporting them.
My point is: Hazbin Hotel is not going to make sexual assaults seen as "normalized" if millions of porn videos, films and images on the internet have not managed to change the population's mind yet.
