I'm so sick of this discourse. So sick of people pushing these made-up narratives onto others. It's DnD. Use your imagination and enjoy the game, rather than arguing with other players and yelling at the devs/creators who worked so hard to bring us this amazing game.
Why is us asking for a chance to keep our own narratives,
in our own games, "pushing made-up narratives onto others"? You say we should use our imagination and enjoy the game, and then insist the way we had imagined our story and characters to be until now was wrong and reductive.
I think forcing my Tav to look like they're in the middle of a sex scene when their throat is grabbed out of nowhere is reductive and takes nuance away, same as you may feel about my interpretation. I don't understand the sentiment that us asking for a way to continue playing our characters the way we have until now is pushing something onto others, but insinuating that our stories are bad and ridiculous and lacking nuance is okay.
