			A secondary con of realism is more meta: [[That Guy\|Some people]] all too often use “realism” as a way to justify pointless [[Grimdark#Grimderp\|grimderp]] and to put down settings they don’t like by holding them to an inscrutable standard. These are the people who look at [[Skub\|nu-Star Wars]] and, without bothering to actually voice their criticisms about its shitty writing, will insisted complain about the fact that the lasers arced like artillery shells in that one scene, or who will make their homebrew setting one where [[Daemonculaba\|women are turned into breeding machines]] for no reason other than that [[Magical Realm\|it gives them tinglies in their dinglies]], or who make [[Bretonnia\|every peasant literally live in shit]] and say that the grimdark makes it [[Edgy\|”mature and realistic”]]. The root of this is a desire to seem intelligent without actually bothering to make intelligent decisions, and one way of doing that is to use a meager understanding of how the world works to criticize fictional works that are not held to the same standard, thus casting the actual grievances of people who are educated in their fields and know enough to be bothered by inaccuracies in a bad light.

	More concretely, in traditional games realism all too often comes at the cost of heavy doses of [[crunch]].		More concretely, in traditional games realism all too often comes at the cost of heavy doses of [[crunch]].

All but the most experimental and abstract things uses reality as a framework to at least some degree.
