Positive and negative experiences with TTRPGs?

On the latest podcast clip's comment section, there was a thread I noticed with some pretty harsh sentiments towards D&D's playerbase, like "Yeah almost everyone I've played D&D with have been shining examples of the downfall of humanity", or "Bold of you to assume D&D players are reading anything" in response to a statement that D&D players read more on average than the average person.

I don't doubt these sentiments come from very real, very unfortunate experiences at the table, and was honestly wondering what this community's general consensus is not just on D&D, but on TTRPGs as a whole. For those that play or used to play: have they treated you well? Did you make any friends or strengthen friendships playing them? What systems did you have better experiences with than others?
