Just finished watching the first half of season 5 of Stranger Things. Very fun, but I was disappointed at the anachronism: Sorcerers weren't introduced to D&D until the 2000s.

"Saying the quiet part out loud" is quickly becoming an anachronism.

When Trump's gutter racism meets with no pushback from anyone on the right—when, in fact, the dumb Fox guy is prompted to blurt out that "not all cultures are equal"—what's happening is that they're saying the LOUD part out loud.

Anyone else bothered that Stranger Things made a big anachronism by referencing sorcerers as a character class in D&D 20 years before their introduction in 3rd ed?

Yes I know Al-Qadim introduced a sorcerer class in 2nd ed, but 1) that was the 90s & 2) the show references them as spontaneous casters
