D&D wasn't aimed at children.
Really? You must not know much about it.
Back in the 80's it was D&D that was the fundamentalists bane, it was going to be the end of our youthful lives and that we would all be damned to hell and would go insane. Total hysteria.
The reason they picked D&D back then was because it was popular and got them camera time. They pick Harry Potter now because its popular and it gets them camera time. They picked Pokemon when it was popular because it got them camera time. The best way to get donations is to scare some naive fundamentalist parents. BOO!
The good thing is that the majority pays no attention to these hustlers and those that do...deserve to get relieved of their donation money to buy air conditioned gold plated doghouses for Tammy Faye anyway.

In the mid-80s I worked for a candidate who almost lost his primary to a fundamentalist whose entire platform was based on getting D&D out of the schools. We won the primary, but we wasted a lot of time difusing that that could've helped us in the general (we lost).

I couldn't agree more.
