In 2024 and 2025, there was controversy within academia over the term's use by professionals. This was initiated by the colleague group of the trauma and dissociation scientist, [[Michael Salter]], author of ''Organized Sexual Abuse'' (2012), a book discussing anecdotal accounts of what he describes as ritual sexual abuse, "brainwashing", sadistic torture and Satanic ritual abuse from almost two dozen people, including a personal friend of his. Psychologist, Craig Harper's group defended the term's use in some contexts.

	Prior to this, Salter had posted for a few years on social media about the term's origins online, in an attempt to tie it explicitly to [[BoyChat]], a web forum where its coiner made an early attempt to raise awareness.
