I believe you, but that's not the case everywhere. I've had DMs who have put drag shows in our game as part of tavern entertainment, for example. Even though I have no problem with them in real life, I have no desire to see them in my fantasy game because it just reminds me of contemporary culture war shenanigans. When questioned on it or asked if we could not do that, I've received nothing but pushback. Stuff like that.

Not every group is right for every person.

But the big thing is this: it's not your fantasy game. It's the shared fantasy game of you, the other players, and the DM.

> Not every group is right for every person.

In the context of an X-card discussion, that's hilarious.

"Touch the X-card, but only if the group agrees on why the X-card was touched. Otherwise, find new group"

turns out the real x-card was the group itself :)

This is true of every voluntary social thing.
yes, exactly, that's why the X-card thing is just useless performative theatre
