People can comply grudgingly without actually agreeing. You not agreeing with the definition of 'agree' does not make it so my statement didn't logically follow.

At that point we're playing with a whole different definition of 'agree'. And nonsequitur. Which is at least a new one for Enworld, so respect there.

Wait for the mom of whoever's house they're playing in to tell them to go home.

I preferred "You can't give up now; we need you!"

You know D&D's community has gone too far when we're litigating the word 'fun' as it pertains to 'pretend, but with dice and books' and have been for the past twenty years near'abouts.

That's a rather odd thing to want to assert. 'What happens when people don't compromise?' They... well they don't compromise.

Extraterrestrial Invaders. They avoided the last time the world ended by going to the moon and terraforming it and driving the natives underground and offworld. Now they're sending scouts to see if it's a good time to come back...

I think the issue is that no one is talking about the interesting things that are in the Bright Desert. Like you can put anything anywhere, but that does not the official setting make.

Most of those games these days also try to make it interesting and worthwhile to do like Blades in the Dark's loads. Most of D&D's resource management is bean-counting to avoid punishment.

Also fun and exciting.

I've also gotten milage out of good sects of 'evil' gods who found part of the portfolio useful and ran with it and also pretender gods using good causes to recruit and then indoctrinate. And then there's the interplay of the two. In my setting, there's a god whose cover story is being a god...

Anakin absolutely is from his point of view, thought not in the stories he appears in. A man corrupted by a mentor into obsessing so hard over the love of his life that his action lead to her dramatic death, separates him from his children, and turns him into a monster his son must then defeat.
