In what is probably one of the least shocking things you’ll read here, a Disney produced animated show being marketed as an “adult cartoon” entitled, “Little Demon” has begun its run on the FXX network. Here’s the plot:
Thirteen years after being impregnated by Satan, a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware, but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter's soul.
I know, “Pete, why are you writing about this? If you don’t like it, don’t watch it!” As you would expect, I will not be watching the show, but I cannot ignore the fact that this is a Disney produced cartoon aimed at adults which we all know children will want to see because of the Disney brand. If this were announced as an FX channel show in 2007, I still wouldn’t watch it, but nor would I be viewing its creation and release in the context of the present day.
Not only are we in a time when families, faith and White men are under siege, but the vilest subject matter that was relegated to the shadows is being mainstreamed. When Rosemary’s Baby was released in 1968 my parents told me it was verboten to speak of it around their parents. Today, a show like “Little Demon” is released with barely a reaction except by people on the fringes. The idea of a woman having sex with a demon, THE demon, and raising the baby doesn’t even register on most people’s radar. Do you consider that to be a sign of progress?
It’s hard for me to be outraged knowing most people will discover “Little Demon” and their response will be one of indifference. Most people have become immune to outrage when it comes to subjects such as woman having sex with the Devil and raising his child. Maybe it’s because society is becoming increasingly anti-faith. When you look around and examine our culture, do you think that’s a good thing? Or do you see that the slippery slope is undefeated?
Society is degenerating. Disney, and anything you can play in that app is terrible. I cannot even watch tv and ignore the propaganda and agenda being pushed. It’s in everything.
Between encouragement from you, Jordan Peterson (especially his video on a message to churches; my comment got 📌) and others, I’ve been interested in looking for a church and went to a bible study last night with the church my aunt attends, after being invited by two of her friends when I was helping her move.
I think "woman having sex with devil" sounds like a campy topic for porn. It doesn't sound cute and like the perfect plot for cartoon. And you're right. Aaron puts on Family Guy or whatever and I'm like, "the kids are gonna wanna know what you're watching and watch it with you, they always do." And 5 seconds later, something adult content happens and he's turning it off again and shaking his head that he didn't see it coming.
