Exactly. It's not an elitist attitude as much as it's: "Get your definition straight."
Be proud of what you are no matter what others say and announce it to the world. Maybe it is those of us who realize it that end up coming off like we're elitists.
No dammit, it's the type of game I like and I don't like it when others can't get the the typing correct or use the typing in some odd form of misrepresentation.
If your game is a hack and slash, then ****ing call it that. It's not any lesser of a game to those that like them, it's just not my cup of tea and it ticks me off when I see a game represented as such and go and find out it's not.
It'd be like someone calling a FPS game an RPG or a Puzzle game.
If I'm the type that likes Puzzle games and I go buy a game that labels itself a Puzzle game, that's what I expect to get...not an RPG or FPS game.
I'm not entirely sure that I'm being clear in what I mean here, but it's the best example that I can think of offhand and I'm a little intoxicated.
