On both social media I still use, I followed bunch of indie ttrpg devs. I had to unfollow the ones on tumblr because they don't talk about anything but how much they hate D&D, up to including writing weird headcanons about people who help popularize it (I actually seen someone on tumblr claim Brenann Lee Mulligan must HATE D&D because only dumb people could like it and is only pretending to like it for clout) or bich about how D&D fans only want to play D&D and get mad when you tell them they're complaining about a small minority.

meanwhile indie ttrpg devs on Bluesky constantly promote their work and inform of sales of their products. I found many cool games through bluesky, meanwhile nove through tumblr.

It is a little weird that D&D is synonymous with tabletop RPGs, considering how many other great games are out there; especially these days. But D&D is by no means a bad game and people should still play it.

It was the first, and then Christian weirdos put its name recognition on a rocket to the moon, so now it's the kleenex of the category.

There was a campaign in the 70's & 80's during the "satanic panic" by Christian groups to associate D&D with devil worship.
