I played AD&D in high school in the late 1970s, in the Deep South (aka Bible Belt country), and I'm grateful to my parents for not freaking out and taking it away from me.
Years later, what I realized was that all those people who were in a tizzy were reflecting their own fears onto the game. The highly Christian saw demonic influences. The tightly-wound saw loss of control (letting random chance determine reactions). The extroverts worried that their children weren't getting out often enough to meet other children.
- autokad 11y agoi dont think so. its the same thing that has always gone on, someone in power wants to push an agenda so they segregate people by fear. it was more focused back then because there were less sources people could be told what to fear.
