You have the worst apologies for being a jerk. In fact you still haven’t.

Correct, I wasn't apologizing at all. There is so much projection here:

being a jerk

If you don't like people reflecting your energy don't give out that energy in the first place.

Sorry I’m not you.

That's rich from the person who unprompted came in with condescending jabs because a genre they don't like exists and has some popularity.

This is a conversation about the genre. Where else to talk about the genre.

This is a conversation about classification. Imagine if someone had an AskLemmy post asking "Are tomatoes fruits or vegetables?" and someone replied with "How about we call them bland nutrition? Tomatoes have seeds and are slightly savory. Have you ever tried a strawberry? You can have seeds and have flavour. This feels like the ancient version of empty calories. It will fill your stomach until you find food more worth your time."
What does that have to do with the question being asked and who cares that this rando doesn't like tomatoes?

If you wanted to have a side conversation about opinions of the genre and game suggestions you could have had better success if you didn't come in swinging for no apparent reason.
