..and if you had to make that adjustment everytime you ate pizza from now until who knows you'd be fine with it?

That isn't going to happen with pizza. I can always go alone or with different people to buy pizza. I am never going to be in a state of being where my only choice is to compromise and eat pepperoni

There is only one pizzeria, and it only serves peperoni pizza. You have to make it at home on your own if you want different.

I have literally never lived in a place with just one pizzeria that only served one topping.

You need to make some allowances for the analogy.

Pizza isn't pizza in this thread.

I thought this was part of the pineapple pizza is evil discussion. What is pizza in this thread?

I agree actually. It could be.

Typically though, it’s not. People will blithely gloss over the hundreds of immersion breaking things that they don’t mind to focus on something they happen not to like and then pretend it’s about immersion instead of simply admitting that it just happens to be something they don’t like.

It’s the whole, I can believe six impossible things before breakfast but that seventh one? Whoo boy. And when it’s pointed out that the six other things are not immersion breaking somehow, you get accused of one true wayism or some other bit of nonsense.

The problem I've concluded is everyone's immersion (among those who consider it a value) is idiosyncratic as can be. I came to that conclusion when people mentioned they had good immersion with TORG, a game that does about everything it can do to pull you out of what I think of as immersion possible (which is not a criticism; its a game that's trying hard for a narrative-control result, so the fact it pulls people into Author mode is not any sort of critique). I've noted that I find it easiest to immerse in text, roleplaying, which other people find super-disruptive.

So I wouldn't be in a big hurry to assume its not sincere. Its just this is an area where people are weird.

I do think there are stylistic differences. There is a school of thought where it basically means keeping you in character point of view, and for much of my time online, people using it in the places where it was discussed, all understood one another. I think the problem is it got brought into broader play style disputes and like a lot of terms became a kind of football people warred over
