Computer RPGs
Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.
Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.
Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

Who's to say they haven't tried plenty and now know this is not for them? Prejudice implies not being informed/experienced enough and still keeping to the decision.
I've tried quite a few turn based games, some for 10's of hours - and I'm extremely unlikely to try another. I just know after all the experience that they're not for me.
Prejudice literally just means that you’re judging something before experiencing it. That’s exactly what you’re describing.
It is not a strictly negative concept, you have a limited amount of time on this earth and you’re not going to experience every bit of art ever created.
It has such a negative connotation because you usually hear it regarding human beings, who always deserve to be judged on their own merit.
Prejudice means irrational hate or anger towards something. Irrational being the key word. It has nothing to do with how much experience you have with something.
This argument would work a lot better if you couldn’t just google the oxford dictionary.
Prejudice
Oh look, the word experience, right there for all to see.
Irrational, yes, but hatred or anger, not necessarily. You can also be prejudiced in favor of something.
It doesn't though. It means you have an irrational hostility towards it. If you've tried similar things it's not irrational to think you wouldn't like other similar things.
