okay so i finished checking if we were friends in every universe and, uh, it turns out we're only friends in 6 of them. but look, i need you to understand these universes vary like crazy, okay? like 6 is actually insanely high, like way higher than most. and one of those is the universe where i accidentally killed the actor who played Dipsy from Teletubbies when i was 7 and my life went completely differently as a result. and we still ended up friends! also you were a girl in that universe for some reason. what? oh, uh, yeah, you were cute as hell. like really cute. did you just fucking giggle

Whenever someone responds to one of those posts pointing out that D&D only players will almost undeniably end up with a very narrow understanding of the RPG medium with accusations of elitism or "let people enjoy things" or "well yes but it's still okay to enjoy D&D and if you only enjoy D&D that's fine and a lot of people enjoy just D&D and are okay with it" there's a bit of sleight of hand going on I feel. Like, trying to turn a discussion about the monolithic stature of D&D and how D&D only players will be inevitably poorly equipped for discussions about RPGs as a medium into a moral argument, and since they have positioned themselves on the side of "it's actually morally okay to just enjoy D&D" then of course the other side of the argument must be making a moral judgement about people who play D&D.

It's very tiring and as someone who enjoys D&D among other games I wish D&D players would stop instinctively treating these discussions as if they are casting moral judgements on them and not simply observations of the material realities of the hobby. It has the markings of sore loser syndrome: the game you play is already the most popular to the point where many people are frankly sick of the way it sucks up all the oxygen from discussions, you don't get to pretend like the game is the poor underdog bullied by mean indie RPG fans online.

And like if you still feel self-conscious about the observation that playing only D&D will invariably lead to a very narrow understanding of RPGs as a medium, there is a very easy way to fix that!

White USAmericans will really be like "Heh, nice argument, Eastern European. However, you're poor and I think your language sounds funny. Owned"

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story

you know what you shouldnt do? constantly tell your child how expensive they are to take care of. because eventually, that child gets scared of asking for money, and doesnt feed themself at school, doesnt go places with their friends that require money, because they dont want to be expensive. it really does get into their minds, that theyre too much money and that they shouldnt do anything.
