I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

That video of Mette Frederiksen where she said she'd choose fewer refugees in Denmark over higher student allowance, cheaper public transit, etc. just screams "we hate foreigners more than we love our citizens"

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Okay, yes, humanity did not enact the single best possible outcome in response to the single worst problem we have ever faced as a species

The asses' bridge we need to cross is accepting that D&D is a lifestyle brand as much as it is a ttrpg, and has the associated level of performative consumption.
"play d&d in a castle!" - my dude, my fellow, I play d&d in my sister's shed with easy access to a kettle. Unless your castle already has my extensive tea making needs met, it is a downgrade. If being old and cold made it better, I'd play in my bathroom.
