[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9243069, member: 1008"] And if you do it, everyone should do it! This may come as a shock to you, but there are lots of people who only read on genre of fiction. You might be even more shocked to learn that some people won't read fiction at all, and will only read non-fiction. Some people who play computer games limit themselves to one or small number of genres. Some people do get their pizza from the same place, and order the same thing. (Everyone in my RPG group tends to do this; we only change when our preferred pizza place shuts down or goes down in quality. There is then a period of testing out new places, until we all settle into our new preferred pizza). Many people only listen to a limited number of musical genres. As much as you want your experience to be universal, the fact is that all of those things are perfectly normal, and ok, even though they don't align with your own preferences. If you insist on going through life lecturing people for their own good when they feel differently than you about these types of things, you are going to experience a lot of issues, and you will actually find people are less willing to play the game you want to play, because you've already put them off-side. If you treat people with respect, and don't act like you know better than them, you'll find they're far more likely agree to do something you would like to do, but which they're unsure about.
