[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9248527, member: 6704184"] My experiences would suggest to me that this POV is more likely born out of seeing difficulty and assuming it’s really “just not wanting to try” because for some reason you think that having played other games means someone will easily understand and pick up a new game. I know for a fact that the groups I know who played Thirsty Sword Lesbians weren’t confused by it because they didn’t want to give it a chance. They were excited about the game and very much wanted to understand and engage with it. It just wasn’t clear to them how they were supposed to actually present a scene with adversaries to deal with and couldn’t figure it out by just reading the book, and had to go online and sift through pages upon pages of derisive nonsense about how “obvious” the workings of these games are and how “anyone who doesn’t get it is trying to not get it” or whatever.
