"As with pretty much any topic that people decide to become "morally opposed" to, quite a bit of lies and misinformation have come into being. Add to that the effects of the wonderful social prejudice system we call "stereotyping," and we have mouldering troll-infested swamp of half-truths and full on falsehoods on what D&D is, and what it can do to you. Lets banish these demons one by one, shall we?"
