People comparing Pathfinder to D&D normally prefer Pathfinder. Why, you might ask? Because the people who prefer D&D don’t care, and are minding their own business. It’s the Pathfinder fans comparing.
I love D&D, and have moved on to other systems. I have nothing bad to say about my first.
As someone who used to very publicly make the comparison, I do think a lot of the… hostility comes from a sense of “why don’t more people know about the thing I like???”
But then I decided to grow up and let people enjoy things
I love to talk about different systems. And even to compare them, I guess. As in, “the Alien RPG and Call of Cthulhu are both horror games that bleed away the PC’s sanity, . . .”
It’s the *judging* that gets tiresome. Which I think was your point with your comment about toxic behavior.
