Who?You know... Gen X actually seems to have gotten away scot-free in the Aging Wars. You don't see anyone hating on them or blaming them for anything.

And still are!Lots of people thought TSR was a bit bonkers. And TSR thought lots of the players were too.
Reality was probably everyone was.
It used to be an admonishment for being a bad example.Such an angry young man!
The guys that invented heroin-chic and apparently nothing else.Who?
It is this thing, called "journalism".
But getting journalism separate from funding is a problem. When you need the clicks for revenue, being controversial, rather than factually correct, has significant draw.
Like, how many older gamers are now going to watch to see how wrong they got it? That's clicks, people! Paying him for being wrong about you is fun stuff.
LOL, well THAT'S not true. The Boomers blame us for everything. Even for raising millennials the way they are.You know... Gen X actually seems to have gotten away scot-free in the Aging Wars. You don't see anyone hating on them or blaming them for anything.
I gotta tell ya, it's starting to get old constantly hearing from people who weren't even born yet telling us all how old school gaming was back in the day. How about just asking us? We're not all dead yet. The premise of this argument is false. What lent to old school gaming was not that we followed the passage of real life time between sessions into the game itself, but that the game was a living world where time in that world kept going regardless of what the players were doing, but the passage of that time was up the DM for what made the most sense for the adventure and not a real world calendar.
It's nice.You know... Gen X actually seems to have gotten away scot-free in the Aging Wars. You don't see anyone hating on them or blaming them for anything.
Nah. If I'm doing a video on what it was like to be a Dead Head (Grateful Dead) based on something I read (and make incorrect assumptions) without actually talking to any of the Deadheads, that's on me. Even if some of them say the GD is the best music ever to come into existence.
The responsibility is on the one making the claims to be accurate.
even today look through a dozen threads on enworld and half of them will have people argueing that they know the right RAW ruleing and/or have the correct house rule to handle the RAW...I also think we have to keep in mind we were just operating in our own narrow sphere at the time. I am constantly amazed how different peoples descriptions are of the time when I was getting into gaming, and how different their reactions and attitudes were to the game lines I liked.
