5th edition literally will cause you to become possessed by demons and turn into a demon with unnaturally colored hair and maybe even a troon.

Good, for a moment I thought the religious girl may have been right.

I used to play that game a lot when I was a kid. We drove the entire neighborhood crazy by doing it during siesta hours.
I have a few stories about the place I went for my first and second year of high school. I guess you have your own versions of it, it was an "Engineering-oriented" high school; like a regular high school but with 6 extra courses: Tin and Steel Workshop, Carpentry, Electrics and Electronics Workshop, Forging, Technical Drawing and Programming. It wasn't a private institute but you needed certain grades and technical inclinations to apply. As you may have guessed, back in the early 90s, it was a total sausage fest. Let's call it The "Lord of the Flies" Institute for Mentally Fucked Teenagers (The LFIMFT).
Problem was, the place wasn't male exclusive. They were girls alright... a whole 6 of them. Among 1494 students. Why is this important? Well, if you go to a prison and just add a handful of girls among inmates, things will get very nasty, very soon... and that's exactly what happened. Nothing like modern sexual harassment or anything like that (back then we called that "roughing up") but the few courses that had a girl felt the need to prove themselves among their peers. let me snipe a few stories:
We had a game called "Caño la Liga", roughly translated to "Nutmeg, you get it". Nutmeg or "Panna" is a soccer move in which you manage a pass by kicking the ball in between the other player's legs. The idea here was to use a squashed soda can as an improvised hockey puck, kick it around and "score" a point by making a successful "nutmeg" on another player. They were no teams, it worked more on a "deathmatch" set of rules. If you succeeded with a nutmeg, all the other players ought to chase and throw the "fragged" guy to the ground and kick him repeatedly in the butt for 10 seconds straight. Given that a healthy Caño la Liga game consisted of 30 players or more, the receiving end of the butt-kicking ended up with somewhere around 90 kicks per score. Some misguided feet ended up in the poor guy's groin or guts but we always tried to make them half force for "safety". If some asshole got to it with extra strength, the "team" the victim belonged to (it was the dude's class, usually) could jump in and call a "fault" by the act of group brawling or gang banging. Of course, all this was just a big excuse to kick the living shit out of eachother's butts and pass it as a friendly game. What was the prize? well, remember those 6 girls I mentioned? They watched the game like fucking Caesars and that drove us absolutely nuts. I got my share of ass-kicking, same as most of the guys playing this... whatever it was.
At the begging of the first year, in Steel and Tin Workshop, we were introduced to this fellow:

That's a counter-weighted tin and steel sheet guillotine for girths up to 1.5 mms. It cuts through metal sheets like nobody's business and just as well through human flesh and bone. This machine was supposed to be operated by 12 to 17 year old teenagers on a daily basis. Let that sink in. On the first day (and I remember this to the detail) our teacher told us "This is the guillotine. By the end of the year, someone will lose a finger to it. Let's make sure is not any of you. You got to respect it, love it and take care of it like it is your dying mother". Of course, we all thought it was bullshit. I mean yeah, the thing was sharp as hell and well preserved, we all used it to cut metal sheets at some point but after a few months there were no accidents and we got comfortable with it. Until we saw the fingers fly.
Yeap, one of my fellow students got two fingers cut off right next to me. He was doing his stuff when all of a sudden someone bumped him from behind, made his hand slide through the smooth tin and that was it. He was wearing hard gloves but it didn't matter, his fingers flew 2 feet when the blade went all the way down. The teacher was swearing like a sailor but acted quickly. He recovered the missing fingers and got the kid all bandaged in less than a minute. We never saw the guy again.
Ok, I have a few more but I don't want to make this a long ass post. Let me know if you like my ranting.
Don't know what he's doing, but I go inside and tell my dad and my uncle who then proceed to beat him until he's black and blue
Wouldn't they just have to beat him blue?
Rural high school in the south?Went to high school with a super religious girl who basically took the Jack Chick approach regarding my friends and I playing D&D.
Early one morning, my friend and I were called into the principal's office. We were confused as to why, as we weren't prone to being troublemakers or bullies. The principal didn't say anything for a moment, just looking at us, then said "so, you boys are into black magic, huh?"
We were flabbergasted, not really knowing how to respond at such a wild accusation. He elaborated, saying someone had informed him that yesterday during lunch, we were "chanting" from several books on the occult and "casting runes" from a silk bag.
I opened my backpack and got out my D&D books and dice and said that these are what we were playing with, nothing to do with black magic and wanted to know who had accused us of being edgelord Satanists/warlocks/whatever.
He told us to hang tight, called the girl in with us, had us show her the D&D stuff and asked her if this was what she reported. She started sperging out, confirming yes, that we were "basically allowing ourselves to be voluntarily possessed" by demons simply by playing the game and that "the game teaches players how to use actual sorcery" and she was scared.
Principal dismissed us, told us to wait outside in the office while he spoke with her. After awhile she came out crying and he brought us back in to apologise. Said he used to play D&D back in the day and he's had issues with her going hysterical at other students over trivial things in the past.
She didn't let it go, even wrote a paper in a creative writing (appropriate...) class we shared called "Dungeons and Dragons: Satan's Little White Lie" and read it aloud, giving me a death glare the whole time.
