I saw this article on the BBC today:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26328105
I played D&D in the 1980s (yes, I'm that old!) and I still play it now (well, it's Pathfinder, but close enough) as well as a dozen other P&P RPGs (played Call of Cthulhu for the first time in nigh on twenty years last night!). Of course, now I use virtual tabletops, visual aids via tablet and loads of other technological shortcuts, but it's basically still the same game - still being played by the same guys - although nearly all of us are married, have kids, etc...
Now if all that rubbish thirty years ago (BADD being the prime example) can be shown to be an absolute load of tosh, it makes you wonder which of today's witchhunts is going to be proven to be unfounded in the future.
Of course, I realise I'm in a biased room
but I thought others might find the article interesting.
