I hate the "If we just stigmatize something/demonize someone hard enough, maybe it will go away" approach to... pretty much everything.

Whatever problem the society has, moral panic is very rarely a solution, and is infinitely more likely to be a part of the problem, actively making things worse for everybody. There are cases where it basically is the entire problem.

I'm glad that as a society we're moving away from that medieval mindset, although the pace could be much faster.
