Looks like a Chick Tract. These have always been ludicrous. In fact they had one about Dungeons and Dragons, which got a movie adaptation (by folks that were almost certainly taking the piss), which has a “review” by JonTron.
I watched that (the original, not the review) assuming it was serious at first, but there’s no way it’s not some level of parody when they drop a couple lesbian hints before the girls even get into RPGs (because that conflicts with the line about choosing to be homosexual.)
I was surprised when the preacher at the end said that occult works included those of Tolkien and CS Lewis, but after looking it up, turns out Jack Chick actually believed that.
It was a surprisingly interesting movie nonetheless. Thought it was interesting how the evil wizards used computers to track magic levels. You don’t see that very often.
For context, I am a Christian, and I also play TTRPGs. I once even ran a Bible-themed one-shot for some kids during sunday school. They’re not inherently evil, but there’s definitely a risk if you’re not careful about what you’re playing and who you’re playing with. Though the same can be said for a lot of people, which is why it’s generally agreed to be important to set boundaries before you start.
Moral of the story: GMs, don’t kill off player characters, or the players will kill themselves off, apparently.

I love that phrase. “Taking the piss.“ Shame it would make me stick out like crazy/sound ridiculous if I used it in the US lol
