Satanic ritual abuse wank
I dithered about whether to put this in unfunnybusiness or here, but in the end Satanic Ritual Abuse is not real, and what the person who said it was said was so funny it belonged here.

People who blatantly deny the existence of ritual abuse after being offered solid resources to the contrary demonstrate that they don’t need evidence about its existence. Instead, when they continue to deny its existence in a seemingly obsessive manner, they are more likely trolling for new victims in hopes that responding survivors will – while more emotional – slip-up and provide vulnerable, personal information.

There you go. If you deny the existance of ritual abuse, it's because you're looking for new victims to ritually abuse.

What you're missing here is that the phrase "Satanic Ritual Abuse" is a term of art that refers to a specific hypothesis: that there is an organized network of adults who abuse children because it's part of their practice as Satanists, and that this network has co-opted powerful officials and law-enforcement departments around the world to conceal their existence.

Yes, there are probably individual abusers who self-identify as Satanists, and who may even link the practice to their spiritual path in some fucked-up crazy way (just as there are individual abusers who link their abusive practices to Christianity and probably every other religion).

But that's not what the phrase "Satanic Ritual Abuse" refers to. The capitalization is meant to set off that it's a term of art, like the difference between masons and Masons.
