there's a difference between "dnd 5e isn't the end all be all of ttrpgs, there's other fabulous ones out there, and i encourage other people to discover them for many reasons; including boosting your own enjoyment of the experience, strenghtening the ttrpg community space, and not letting hasbro monopolize the medium!" and "waaahhh i'm upset bc other people aren't playing ttrpgs the way *I* want them to, even though they and their group are having fun" and i think that difference is something many of us, including me, need to examine when we're making broad-reaching statements about the state of the ttrpg scene

#yes it gets discouraging when ppl use dnd for Everything #but also ppl bringing new playstyle ideas in is a help not a hindrance #ppl get into ttrpgs for many reasons. some like the sandboxy elements. some like the mechanics.#some wanna worldbuild and/or collaboratively storytell #some wanna go ham playing a character they write #all of these people bring diverse viewpoints to the games and should be welcomed into the space #we already kinda have ground rules about game group harmony (aka u don't need to accept playing with people who are jerks #or who try to control the whole experience)#we don't need to gatekeep the whole scene further
