Mind of Maniac – The Time Dungeons and Dragons Was Attacked September 26, 2023

Sit back, Maniac is going to get very controversial on this episode. Back in the early 80s, life was good so for many. Crime was down, fear of war was receding, and technology was making a lot of people’s lives easier.

You’d think this was a time for people to be happy, and they were. However, it was an awful time for people who relied on making money by spreading words of fear on television and radio. So, completely out of touch with their times, instead of shutting the organizations down as failures they decided amongst themselves to dig into one of their oldest tricks, and attack the things young people enjoyed. In the 40s, it was comic books. In the 60s it was rock and roll. In the 80s…it was Dungeons and Dragons.

Never forget: Young people can’t vote, and have no advocates to defend themselves against relentless disinformation attacks. Here’s Maniac’s take on what happened and his thoughts on what will come of it in the future.
