The above example on video games is perfect for what I mean. Folks do discuss video games intellectually and with theory. They also talk about them generally by category on a laymen level. The two dont often butt heads. Folks might consider Mass Effect as a straight up RPG, others might consider it a first person shooter, and some dont really care. The groups are aware of each other, but dont really make it a big deal. Where as TTRPGs if somebody is like "oh you are talking about a story now game" turns into a 50 page discussion on how thats a right/wrong statement and if story now even exists or not, and if its offensive in its origin. There is no separation of degree in TTRPG discussion and its kind of exhausting.</p></blockquote><p></p>
