I feel like "The Mercer Effect" is up there with "Kafkaesque" and "Orwellian" as a negative social phenom named after a guy who expressly, emphatically, and repeatedly said you should not do the thing being described. So great company I guess?

#critical role #Matthew Mercer #Franz Kafka #George Orwell #For the record the idea of the Mercer effect is absolute bullshit #Every issue it describes boils down to not setting expectative before play #and just assuming everyone agrees how things will work without disusing it especially with new players #people didn't have the same disdain for Michael Jordan inspiring people to play basketball #even when every young player interviewed was saying they wanted to play like Michael Jordon
