Well they have made it immortal now. It’s the monster under their bed, The ghoul in their closet, the specter that always follows them where ever they go. Which proves these people are mentally children. Only children hold on to fears of something that is not there and never has been, but because they have warned the public of this monster and invested so much of their lives talking about it they can’t drop it now or ever. The Crocker GA-ME-EER-GATE! Meme is the most apt image to describe these people.
