Computer RPG Games
Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). 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!".

It's just bloated with historical baggage, this hobby has way too many hyperbolic "critics". 5e probably isn't even the worst version of Dungeons & Dragons, let alone many major games like Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, or Vampire: the Masquerade that have serious structure and culture problems
Out of the three you mentioned only shadowrun is anywhere close to as bad as 5e, and at least shadowrun is infinitely more fun if you actually get it.
