I need either validation that other fields of art have equally self-destructive discourse (not in the sense of "produces flame wars" but in the sense of "literally arguing against the existence of the field") OR confirmation that ttrpg discourse is uniquely contradictory and needs to be put down

I feel like a nonzero number of folks working in any field in the arts or the analysis thereof inevitably ends up arriving at some variation on the conclusion that actually this is a tool being leveraged by institutional power to exert mass mind control and in an ideal world we'd realize it's all a bit silly and focus more on growing a staple crop
