So in the early 1970s and 1980s and even all the way through out to the 1990s there was a huge moral panic over tabletop roleplaying games. That RPGs were blamed for making teens kill themselves. What was it like back in that era when Dungeons and Dragons and other Tabletop RPG games were the target? What did you think of it? And is it the same thing happening now with Online Game Addiction?
This seems like a question that might be helped by personal experience and anecdotes, which are usually frowned on as sources here. I'd suggest crossposting to /r/rpg and /r/dnd as well, there are plenty of veteran gamers who could help fill in the gaps about the anti-DnD backlash.
