| Jul 21, 2017 at 15:17 | comment | added | Erik | @godskook where is it contained? A game doesn't have to be broken, unplayable, poor quality or weak for people to complain it's being played wrong. Maybe I'm missing something. | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 15:16 | comment | added | godskook | @Erik that definition is contained in this one, as far as I can tell. I agree with JAB, the word is clearly both thematically and grammatically similar to Newspeak. | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 15:12 | comment | added | Erik | I feel this definition is missing out on the "playing the game differently from me" usages. "Badwrongfun" is commonly invoked when people (for example) complain about DMs fudging rolls because that's "not how the game should be played" | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 15:07 | comment | added | JAB | I suspect part of the origin is a play on George Orwell's Newspeak, as well, with the combination of simple syllables (though Newspeak doesn't actually have the words "bad" or "wrong"). | |
