In this episode Hannah is talking about the potentially lazy stereotype that all women over 40 are evil magic-users.

Update 09/03/21: I originally put the title of this as "Harmful Hags" because I like alliteration (give me a Peter Parker or a Bruce Banner any day) and it sounded better than "Why Does John think all Old Women in D&D Games are Hags?", but a few people--including some rabid internet trolls--have pointed out this was a bit click-baitey so I have changed it. Although I did laugh when someone said that "overly PC" people like me were ruining the hobby, think it's the first time I've ever been called overly PC.
