I mean this kindly, as I agree with the premise, but if you want people to play ttrpgs other than D&D, you need to start talking about why those games are enjoyable, instead of making fun of people for homebrewing in 5e for the umpteenth time

Furthermore, it's not good enough to simply list a summary of alternatives. That's not talking about why other systems are fun. You know what D&D has in excess? Stories. So many stories and comics and podcasts; stories that make people want to participate and play and make stories for themselves. You aren't going to convince anyone by criticizing them and then providing half-hearted alternatives. Say what you love about your system with your chest, loudly and unashamedly. Share your own stories. And if you dont have any, well... maybe you need to branch out.

okay so I literally just hosted a “non-5E oneshot event” for a school d&d server where a bunch of GMs volunteered to run oneshots in other ttrpg systems. players are having a BLAST looking at some of the oddly specific game systems and themes out there.

don’t explain why 5E is bad or boring. say “hey look at this funky thing I found” and let people go wild over discovering an Arthurian legends style knight tabletop game where you roll 1d6 + 1d12 to determine your class is a real thing and exists

i feel like no one really wants to hear that sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration are major factors in treating mental health issues bc we’ve all talked to that person who thinks your depression would be cured by one good session of goat yoga or whatever but unfortunately they do help and i’m chronically annoyed about it

biggest L i've had to take from morning people is that the hours between 5 - 9 am really do have 7x as much time in them than the ones between 9 pm - 1 am and you can get your whole day's worth of shit done by noon

You guys have GOTTA learn to stop seeking absolution from strangers online.

If someone says "haha Americans are so self-centered they don't know anything about other countries", you don't gotta jump in and explain that actually it's not your fault because you had a bad education. Just learn from the post and move on!

If someone says "white people hate rap because they're racist", you don't gotta jump in and start listing all the totally valid reasons you personally don't like it. You don't have to justify your music taste to strangers, just move on!

If someone says "people should be more involved in their local communities" you don't gotta jump in and start listing all the reasons that you personally can't leave your house and so actually the original post is really ableist. Just accept that the post doesn't apply to you and move on!

Stop publicly demanding that the internet absolve you of sins that some random dipshit made up, it is always going to make you look bad and you'll wind up trapped in an anxious cycle of needing external validation for every aspect of your personality. You don't have to justify yourself to randos on the internet.

so fucked up like actually i think they should counter sue

For context, the reason they're being sued is not because they're making videos in general. It's because they were taking sponsorships, doing paid advertising and using calico critters/sylvanian family to do the endorsements which does violate copyright.
