[QUOTE="kaomera, post: 3606409, member: 38357"] I don't think it's entirely a matter of missing the point. Gamers do use terminology like this to insult games / gamers they don't agree with. Personally I try to just shrug and ignore it, but it can be really hard. Heck, the quote above wasn't really directed at me, and yet here I am replying... I've recently had some interesting conversations with a fiend of mine who just plain does not like D&D. That's fine, but sometimes when she defends her position (which she shouldn't need to, really; but, again there are gamers out there with th idea that there way is the one true way) sometimes she makes generalizations that really aren't true of "D&D". When someone says that D&D is too complicated, that's fine. When they say it takes hours to make a character and try to defend the statement like it applies to every player / group out there, then I tend to want to "correct" that statement. Because it doesn't apply to me, and it doesn't have to apply to every player and every group. [/QUOTE]
