You mean to tell me that someone conducted independent research to verify what they saw on TV, and then choose not to believe what they saw on TV based on a real life experience?
I don’t believe it.
It was the 80s.
it was acceptable at the time
There wasn’t a storm of internet influencers and news media telling people it wasn’t acceptable, so it was by default.
I can see this happen the following way:
Grandma is influenced by TV or the local church or whatever and wants to forbid their grandchild DnD. Her son-in-law hates her and tells her to fuck off, explicitly allowing his son to do as he pleases (regarding DnD). His wife wants to pour oil on troubled waters and allows her mother to watch without disturbing the kids unless the satanism shows.
Then the math induced rage commences.
At least she was open minded enough to sit in on the session to determine for herself if it really was satanism.
And her anger actually sounds like it was directed at the satan-preachers, like she was storming off to give them a piece of her mind: “These kids are choosing to play a game that reinforces their math and higher-level thinking skills better than their homework and you want me to stop them!?”

It’s math but with enough consulting of books and argumentation about rule mechanics that I swear lawyers would probably make better dnd players than mathematicians
so far all the sessions I’ve been to have at least one american chopper energy moment over rule disagreements and I love it
A great DnD player is the perfect confluence of math nerd, obnoxious lawyer, and theater kid.
100%
Can confirm. I like math, I consider myself a decent debator and I was in drama class…
Alright, she’s gone, we can start summoning Satan
To kill him for exp!
I was disappointed it wasn’t satanism too.
It can be if you run the campaign right
But if there’s lots of DnD in Hell, sign me the fuck up.
It’s everywhere in hell, yet everyone cancels still.
