@lemmy.worldI can't say I've ever done anything as a wrestler, but I have been a game master for over 7 years and I can tell you it is a lot easier and a lot funner to play as a villain than as a hero.
My dude, it is a game. One who saw a radical meta shift when the word Qi was added, now being played in a majority of tournament games. If you don't like it then just make your own game or house rule it to be something else, but if you're playing on the official Scrabble app why wouldn't it go by the official Scrabble rules?
Please do not abduct wild woodland critters and shove them into an apartment that has none of the natural environment they are supposed to live in. You do not have a river in your flat.
Scrabble isn't about words that are real, it's about words in the official Scrabble dictionary with mechanics specifically related to calling out when a word is not in the official dictionary.
Do you think a Scrabble tournament runner would really be cool with someone winning by playing the n-word?
The creation of a thing gives you no special power over how the rest of the world treats it.
Question: "I shouldn’t be expected to assume that. Furthermore, when they tell me and my natural response is “Huh?” I shouldn’t be vilified for not knowing what they mean"
Who has ever done this to you. Ever. Who have you met that asked you to address them in a specific way then got pissy at you over it? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but neither me nor anyone I know nor anyone who knows a person I know has ever had this happen to them.
Also: "and that should be taken into consideration, but that doesn’t mean everything they say is right."
How can someone be wrong about the courtesy title that they choose to use? Like the entire concept and name 'courtesy title' make it pretty clear what they are about.
Is it really so hard to respect a person enough to address them with the courtesy title they ask you to use? Are you in any way inconvenienced by saying "Hello Mx. TWeaK, how are you today"?
I agree that Mc is made up bullshit
Boy do I have bad news for you about every other word that exists in every single language. There is no word tree we harvest fresh ripe new words from, everything is made up. We are just meat squirting air through our various holes because we like the sounds they make and wish to communicate thought.
