In a way? But also it’s fine. Boardgames are a piece of media so not being a fan of the whole thing hits the same as “not being a fan of books” or “not being a fan of anime”. Like, sure, your choices don’t affect me, but you can see how it makes sense that its usually met with “you just haven’t tried the right one.” Board games are a little unique as well because sometimes the problem is that you aren’t in the right group to play them which is a whole other thing.

it’s weird, but i’ll be weird with you on this. i think the other commenter makes some valid points but there are legitimate reasons to generally dislike a medium. for example, i don’t like waiting on other people to take their turns LOL (on a similar note, i prefer my media to be interactive, so i would also say i don’t like movies or tv shows too much) however, i’ll also acknowledge that the other commenter had some valid points re: the people influencing the experience and playing co-op board games. which are things i’ve experienced and preferences i have but sometimes it’s cumbersome to say “i generally only like cooperative board games with cool people” lmfao
