Knott’s Berry Farm, a renowned theme park in California, is currently embroiled in controversy, facing backlash from conservative circles for hosting a show said to have Satanic themes.
The contentious show is part of a seasonal Halloween event at the park known as “Knott’s Scary Farm.”
The controversy was ignited on Tuesday when a video clip from the show was shared online by Libs of TikTok, a group known for its pro-America stance and conservative views.
The group raised concerns over the content of the show, arguing it is inappropriate for children who are permitted to watch it.
In the shared video, performers are seen in what appears to be bondage gear and Satanic costumes, engaging in provocative, sexualized dance routines.
Libs of TikTok asserted that such displays are intended to corrupt the minds of the young audience, alleging that the theme park is deliberately exposing children to defiling content.
“The amusement park @knotts has an attraction called ‘Knott’s Scary Farm’ which is open to kids. It includes this show which has people dressed up as Satan and in bondage/fetish gear, dancing extremely provocatively,” Libs of TikTok stated. “They’re after your kids.”
The origin of the clip can be traced back to a compilation of two TikTok videos, posted by @the.happiest.trio, @benchlandia, and @mouseinfo.
***WARNING: GRAPHIC***
The park, however, has not issued any statements addressing the controversy surrounding “Knott’s Scary Farm.”
“What’s scary is that adults can brazenly sexualize children and engage minors in public displays of previously taboo sexual fetishes,” one Twitter user wrote in response to Libs of TikTok.
“@knotts what do you say about this? Do you want a complete boycott?” asked another user.
