When a group of conservative religious people, usually Christians, propagate rumors that something is satanic, demonic or evil. The propagators usually attack something for children, believing that children are gullible enough to accept every single thing as gospel truth. During satanic panics, major propaganda is spread, as the believers attempt to spread the message. In the majority or all these cases, the panic is irrational, but readers frequently accept these rumors as gospel truth.
Satanic panics started around the 1970s, when there was a rise in fundamentalism. They took full effect in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. Today, few remain in the outside world, but the community is still prevalent on the internet.

Satanic panic examples:
1970s:
The Illuminati conspiracy was started by some person who claimed to be a Satanist, but was later proven a faker.
1980s:
Alledged backmasking in popular music, notably rock.
Some players of Dungeons & Dragons took the game too far and died, leading many to believe D&D was inherently evil, and that the game involved calling real spirits to possess people.
The Smurfs was apparently burning down villages in Puerto Rico and teaching children witchcraft.
1990s:
During the Pokemon craze, several Christian groups alledged that the game was about channeling evil spirits into children and that the type system (ex. fire, water) was teaching people into becoming neopagan witches.
Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubby, was apparently gay for being purple, carrying magic bags and wearing a tutu, and therefore alleged to make kids gay.
2000s:
Harry Potter was apparently telling children that witchcraft is real and encouraging children to become sorcerers.
Yu-Gi-Oh was programming children to become Satanists and Freemasons.

Get the Saani mug.This is an act when you're stuck in a room with Satan and a Prostitute and Satan is trying to convince you to eat the Corn-chips (Pussy) but the Corn-chips are on fire (Herpes) from Satan eating them before you. So what you do is take some Oregano and a Basket-Ball and sprinkle the Oregano on the Corn-chips and use the Basket-Ball to bring out the flavors of the flaming hot Corn-chips before you begin to dig in. This technique can also turn into one called "The Rapture" where as you start eating the flaming Corn-chips God busts into the room through the wall like he is the Kool-aid man with a Foot-Ball and a Baseball bat telling you not to eat the Corn-chips. Confused by this recent encounter you decide to stand on a chair and tie a noose around your neck, whilst you're on the chair God begins to spread Oregano on the Foot-Ball and place it on the Corn-chips and hits it with the Baseball bat in attempt to put out the fire on the Corn-chips. This causes the Prostitute to flail kicking the chair out from underneath you and causes you to hang there feeling elevated as if you have been ascended.
