Demonise for Dummies

Ok, so "demonise" is kind of a big word, but don't worry, I'll explain it in a way that makes sense to you. When someone is being demonised, it means that people are making them seem really, really bad. It's like painting a picture of them as being the worst person ever, even if that's not actually true. Have you ever seen a movie or read a book where the bad guy is really, really evil and mean? That's sort of like what it means to demonise someone. People are making them out to be a villain, even if they're not really as bad as everyone says.

Another way to think about it is like when you play a game of "telephone" where you whisper a message to the person next to you, and they whisper it to the next person, and so on. By the time the message gets to the last person, it's completely different from the original message. That's what happens when someone gets demonised. People start spreading stories and rumors about them, and the truth gets all twisted and changed along the way. So, when you hear someone being demonised, take a closer look and ask yourself if everything you're hearing is really true. It's important to not judge someone just based on what other people are saying.
