Apollo, Dionysus & the boy: the story of 'Destroyer Magazine'

The panicked reactions suggest they were afraid of something else too, namely that the magazine actually had something important to say. That's why they overcompensated to the degree of always giving distorted descriptions of the content of the magazine, always mentioning the 'P' word in relation to it, and always using swear words. The magazine hinted at something about their own identity that they didn't want to hear, but maybe knew existed. The fierce reactions proved that I was doing something right.
