"R U TRIGGERED" and all its subvariants were radioactive toxic waste and turned a valid and important psychological concept into bullying vector that for a time had nearly universal acceptance.
I still see vestiges of "le epic bacon" out there but it's mostly confined to aging :grillman: types and some :up-yours-woke-moralists: cultists and a few contrarian carninist edgelords that want to "trigger the vegans." Yes I know all of the above have a lot of overlap.
fair, though even if they fit in, having one character that's significantly better at combat to the point that the rest of the party might as well not be there is... kinda boring to play with in a standard DnD style game with it's focus on fighting
in games with more of a focus on rp, it's more tolerable
In my experience, if an unmitigated combat min-maxer doesn't get enough combat, they get bored and so they start fights and sabotage social interactions just so they can show off the template they found on the internet.
In some weird cases, there have been such things as social min-maxers too, and they can get annoying if they want all the spotlight and can try to force story outcomes with stupidly high rolls.
I try to have both combat and socialization in my campaigns and in both cases I try to make sure everyone has a chance to shine.
yeah, when i'm dming my own games i focus way more on the rp
the extreme of it is when i dm for my girlfriend, we usually go 2 or 3 sessions without a single combat encounter lol, helped by our rampant system hopping
