Yes. Though, I can have some sympathy for it as there’s often shame reactions involved, both on input and output, which makes it difficult for a lot of folks to move through.

It’s one of the reasons why — ironically? — I play RPGs at cons and not boardgames. Because RPGs, while full of issues, are issues I mostly know how to address, even with strangers. Where boardgames… man. People get downright ass insane over boardgames with strangers.
