[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9587520, member: 6779310"] There were RPG aimed book burnings in the US after 2012... Jerry Prevo did one in Anchorage in 2012, some similarly local preacher did one in 2015 (but the news vids are no longer available for that one). Prevo also did one in 2002 when BoVD was released. So, no, it wasn't dead in the US in the 90s. I've encountered people objecting on religious grounds into the 00's. Almost all of them fundamentalist, not all of them Christian fundamentalist. And watched Prevo continue to burn books into the 2010's. Harry Potter, Palladium Books' RPGs, D&D... It's low-key, but still a factor. Many college students from the US "Deep South" (former confederate states) have stated locally (I'm in Oregon) that they experienced religion-based persecution of board, card, and RP games into the late 2010's. Some specifically left the Deep South to escape both LGBTQIA persecution and anti-games persecution. In Alaska, where I grew up, there was active opposition by "Dr. Jerry Prevo," DDiv, all the way to the 2012 timeframe. He left Anchorage after I did... And there were a dozen other preachers speaking the BADD talking points into the late 00's. The "Moral Majority" political group was still opposed to RPGs into the 00's. 2002's BoVD didn't help any, nor did FATAL. [/QUOTE]
