[QUOTE="Malic, post: 2254987, member: 23799"] Hi Dr Strangemonkey, this thread is covering some interesting ground so thanks for kicking it off. I'd just like to know why you insist on using a loaded word like 'prejudice' for this GnG concept. Whether you insist that there can be good and bad prejudice or not, it clearly implies that anyone who likes GnG is not giving something else a fair go - presumably 'vanilla' DnD. It also obviously carries overtones of being less than valid. I'm also a bit unclear whether you mean 'it's a prejudice, not a genre', or 'liking GnG is a prejudice, not an opinion'. Finally, I don't really understand whether you are arguing that the term itself should not be used because it is not unanimously defined (which seems to be the case for most RPG terms not straight out of the SRD, and even some from there), or whether you are arguing that this is not a valid choice as a gaming style. Or something else that I have missed? Surely you are not saying that if everyone understood heroic vanilla D&D properly, everyone would like it. Would you mind explaining a bit more clearly?
