Maybe what you're talking about is players who get interested in gaming because they were inspired by a movie or TV series they've seen? If that's the case, I would think that is a seed you'd want to foster and see thrive.I think a bigger problem is DMs who think reality is their own personal understanding (always flawed to some degree) of physics, biology, social interaction, etc. and who then override game rules based on this understanding (the level of overriding proportional to the level of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect" target="_blank">Dunning-Kruger effect</a> at play in that particular circumstance), much to the confusion of the rest of the table and to the detriment of the game they are running.</blockquote>
