You mean to tell me that someone conducted independent research to verify what they saw on TV, and then choose not to believe what they saw on TV based on a real life experience?

I don't believe it.

There wasn't a storm of internet influencers and news media telling people it wasn't acceptable, so it was by default.

I can see this happen the following way:

Grandma is influenced by TV or the local church or whatever and wants to forbid their grandchild DnD. Her son-in-law hates her and tells her to fuck off, explicitly allowing his son to do as he pleases (regarding DnD). His wife wants to pour oil on troubled waters and allows her mother to watch without disturbing the kids unless the satanism shows.

Then the math induced rage commences.
