    I suppose kids tend not to be afraid of the normal punishments, hence people would invent the worst ones they’d be familiar with.

    Krampus is just a vilification of pagan traditions anyway. This is just Christianity doing its bullshit cultural appropriation and erasure, as always.

      Yeah, I think it’s a big issue with modern society that children aren’t afraid of being eaten anymore! Make Eating Children Great Again!
