Seriously. Every form of entertainment has baked-in political assumptions, and that definitely includes #ttrpg . You might choose not to examine them, but this is an active choice on your part, and you don't get to pretend that your entertainment is "free of politics".

yep they exist. but I don't need to solely focus on them. and this entire thread seems to be people saying that fact over and over again. (as you just did as well)

is there some kind of meme I missed or something? I'm confused as to why there's so much hostility in the comments.

The hostility comes from the fact that for many, their existence is "political". When people say "I don't want politics in my game" it often means that they don't want to consider the existence of those people.
