Thats the way you want it, that’s the way you get it.

Wow, I didn't know that wanting to be inclusive of others and feeling empathy for people different from oneself was an exclusively "leftist" agenda. Nor did I realize that wanting to be welcoming to others "could kill the core experience" and "is currently menacing the hobby". ಠಿ_ಠOne could say D&D died with Gygax being fired.
One could say D&D died with TSR, and the d20 system.
One could say D&D died with 4e.
My experience of D&D is one of roleplaying high fantasy tales. I was served well by most of the rulesets: BECMI, AD&D2, D&D3.5, 5e. Just now, D&D is - or could be - better than ever. So, it is alive!
However, all this leftist talk about inclusivity could kill the core experience. So, it is inclusivity that is currently menacing the hobby (just like Star Wars franchise was killed by woke culture).
Please some moderator label this post as non-inclusive! It would be and honor!

Funny thing is that while my style has changed a bit from when I started playing, for me it still plays much the same. But even back in OD&D days we never treated our PCs as disposable avatars that we just tossed away when they died yet again in the never ending meat grinder. Obviously other people played much more of a DM vs player game than we ever did.
I get the impression this sort of play-style you describe is immensely more popular on forums like this than it is among the current DnD player-base at large.
You know, the main thing that makes this post even worse than it already reads as, is the fact that this was obvious trolling. You want to be banned from the thread, congratulations! You're now kicked from the thread, and marked with the same title you asked for. I hope your frail attempt to anger the people on this thread gave you at least a small amount of joy. Good job at annoying people!One could say D&D died with Gygax being fired.
