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.

But Krampus' origin is Christian.

TIL. I always thought it was an extension of old school middle-northern European fairy tales, where there’s a lot of violence and whatnot.

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!

That's an overreaction, sometimes Krampus just whips them with chains
