[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 7581951"] I really don't think tribalism is a part of it at all. I think tribalism exists in the hobby. But I've never encountered it around metagaming (I've encountered it around more concrete and divisive playstyle or system issues). I just don't think folks are investing much of their identity into that idea. But I do think when you frame it as an issue of people clinging to tribalism, it does come off as sounding like your enlightened and the masses are not. I also think, like I've been saying this whole thread, if you reduce peoples reason for preferring something to a ridiculous pejorative, you'll never understand why they like something. It would be like attributing people liking chocolate ice-cream to being lazy or needing to be coddled (and then trying to talk them out of their love of chocolate ice cream like logic is going to affect that "You say you like it because its sweet, but honey's sweet and you just stated you have no love for honey at all!").
