 ::demonization (noun)}}
-Wikipedia article:
-:Demonization or Demonisation is the reinterpretation of polytheistic deities as evil, lying demons by other religions, generally monotheistic and henotheistic ones. The term has since been expanded to refer to any characterization of individuals, groups, or political bodies as evil.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonization</ref>
-==Modern usage==
-In colloquial usage, the term demonization is used metaphorically to refer to propaganda or moral panic directed against any individual or group.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonization</ref>
-==BoyLovers and "demonization"==
+==See also==
-BoyLovers are considered by uninformed and ignorant people to be "evil incarnate" (evil is an immediate tip-off that some kind of ''religious morality'' is involved with this highly judgmental term.) BoyLovers are associated with "demons" in the minds of the unwashed masses by the media, which has, therefore, "demonized" BoyLove and BoyLovers.
