D&D empowers a small group of people to individually gain power and eventually exert outsized influence on intra- and international politics, even entreating with godlike entities.

D&D is just a power-fantasy. Where that fantasy leans (politically/ideologically) is just the GM's setting.

D&D is also popular in the military and overlaps with WH40K players. The Satanic Panic is a distant memory - it's a family activity in community centers.

The right are know to take over preexisting communities, I've seen that happen in a few warhammar Facebook groups.
