All this to say - they didn't take the books, they didn't destroy or deface the books. They attacked me. Because it's never about the books (or phones, or rap), it's always about the in-group's hatred of the out-group. The panics are just those with power (for D&D it was the christian right movement; for social media it's the techbros & right wing politicians) making that in-group hate flare up to bolster their control and importance.
Ya'know, abuser and narcissist shit.
