Also also: to be entirely fair, in my experience, while a lot of people claim that D&D 5e's rules are easy to learn (the basic mechanic is simple enough admittedly) in actual fact a lot of people seem to labor under a lot of misunderstandings about how the rules actually work (partly because of what prokopetz recently posted about: a culture of expecting the GM to simply walk you through the rules which is really work-intensive for the GM).
D&D 5e's rules are simple to learn when you're talking about the most basic stuff like okay you gotta roll d20 + modifiers and high numbers are good. The moment you start drilling into specifics you are almost guaranteed to find people who have simply misunderstood the rules.
Does the Bard's Jack of All Trades apply on counterspell? It does, even though I've had a person in my very mentions telling me that it shouldn't. This is like pretty unambiguously spelled out by the rules but it's still a source of misunderstanding.
How many spells can a character cast per round? A lot of people will say "Two, provided one of them is a cantrip with a casting time of an action and the other one has a casting time of a bonus action" but of course even that's not the whole story.
How does surprise work? Again, pretty straightforward, a lot of misunderstandings around it.
D&D 5e is easy to learn provided you only stick to the basics and don't actually delve into how the game's various rules interact.

you ever see a character and go "wow, this character is so nuanced and morally gray! their actions and morals don't always align! they're complicated and make bad decisions and behave painfully realistically! I hate them and love them at the same time and that's on purpose! they're so cool! .... fan content is going to misinterpret them completely, isn't it."

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

Teach your children how to deal with emotions in a constructive way. I wish I had done this with my children.
