I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I'd say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.

Boomers trying for that Satanic Panic BS again. 😜 Yeah, that totally worked last time, gramps. TTRPGs are a multi-billion global industry, now. Fuckin' blue hairs.

edit: Can you imagine what it would be like to have demonstrative pedestrian justice against CEOs, et al, be widely accepted as "cool AF" & something everyone's at least a little curious about? What a Game Night changer, eh πŸ˜‚πŸ€˜πŸ½

For real like sure it's not hearing his mother die in pain because insurance companies and experience the same pain himself, it's gotta be amoung us that led him to commit murder

Oh in his manifesto he describes his mother's slow and painful death caused by their insurance denying claims, and delaying or preventing treatment.
