Do you not recognize the moral panic / righteousness undertone of this article and what it's designed to do? I feel my comments are very much on topic. This is a modern "D&D might be Satanism" article.

I mean the NYT can publish stuff like this and still claim it's, "all the news that's fit to print." But I can disagree.

I certainly recognize your attempt to reframe your previous comments as actually addressing the content of the article, even though they were mostly "sure there's [this], but what about [not this]?".

Talking about an article's "undertone" and "what it's designed to do" as though those things are not completely subjective simply does not convince.

And thank you very much for the laugh you gave me when you compared D&D scaremongering to the literal exploitation of children.
