It's similar to the ranting against Harry Potter.
Do you remember 10 years ago when Christian Fundamentalists ranted against Pokemon?

Yes, I do:
"I knew little about Pokemon. My first exposure was when my son won a Pokemon GameBoy. I let them watch the show. Then my 9 year old began to play and it was all he did. I became concerned and watched the show for myself. It was appalling. The boy was "possessed" (their word). He was levitating. An evil ghost was trying to take them away. Two of the older boys were becoming charmed by this ghost. The girl tried to scare the ghost away using various charms, garlic, etc, and finally pulled out a cross. I do not like the cross being on the same level as just another charm. It belittles what Jesus did for us. I threw the GameBoy cartridges in the burn barrel, much to the dismay of their classmates. I just could not in good conscience promote this by giving them away. It is not just a cartoon, and they ARE directly assaulting our children and beliefs. We are influenced by what we see. Just ask the advertisers."

Another comment - this one about the show's title sequence:
"A little girl is running towards the viewer, being chased by something, then, as she gets closer a chipmunk type character runs between her legs & toward the viewer. As it goes between her legs, its tail brushes her crutch directly. She stops, crosses her legs, puts her hands between them & hangs her head.
Suddenly, the scene changes to 4 adult characters who fold their arms & nod(as if in approval) in unison. The thing is, one is a doctor, one a nurse, one a policeman & one a housewife type figure. The last scene is of a red dragon breathing fire.
Scary stuff. "

No matter how many years go by, the Fundies are still crazy.

I do remember and I see your point.
See also their past (and even current) rantings of the following:
Dungeons and Dragons
Magic The Gather (the Card Game)
Ouija Boards
Star Wars
Celebrating Halloween
Rock 'N Roll
Supposedly, all of those things will lead you to "The Devil".
Watch out!
