For example, people who are unlucky with relationships who want to play a RPG with a happy romance. Or a closeted queer person that wants to play a game about coming out to gain courage for it irl.Or a person like me, who has a very demanding job in a field that I never liked but it is the only field where I am able to function with my health impairment and earn enough to support three kids. I have to learn and try new things at work every day. I am exhausted. I want an escape from this in a RPG. I want to play my beloved system, that I feel comfortable with, with my beloved friends who share the same life values as me, and with my beloved character that I made up years ago and write fanfic about him.So please don't push and guilt-trip people like us into "you should try new RPGs or you are doing it wrong". It is harming us. We are already vulnerable and this isn't helping. If our life gets better (and I hope so), we might change our ways and might try something new, but this "getting better" will not be sped by you demanding that we switch to new games right now.</blockquote>
