RPG
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
RPGs or role-playing games are terms used to describe video games that require unfathomable amounts of self-loathing, body fat, and sexual abuse, but require no actual skillz other than spending hours and hours leveling up to defeat the impossible hidden boss of a gay-ass furry themed alternate universe. The main draw of RPGs is that they're supposed to put the player into the role of somebody else, meaning they're only played by those whose real life existences suck so much that they need to pretend to be someone else.

Genre Staples
Sometimes you have list of jobs to choose from to find creative ways to defeat your enemy. Almost always there is some sort of system to level and develop the members of your party. There is only one real certainty when it comes to RPG’s, you will spend hours roaming around hitting shit with swords for months at a time, and when you get bored you can hit more shit with more swords while you look for new swords. Epic amirite?
Another notable ingredient to the magic that makes an RPG, would be a rich and deep story. It usually involves an evil king and fighting God. Which is not at all a tired design, it's just more deep than anyone could possibly begin to understand.
JRPGS vs. WRPGS
A common debate topic amongst RPG fans is which of the two main types of RPGs is superior: Japanese RPGs or Western RPGs. Although they're both equally boring and flawed, a few key differences separate the fandoms, mainly dealing with characterization and plot. Basically, JRPs tend to always put you in the role of an androgynous, angsty, teenage boy(?) who has to embark on the same exact shitty cut-and-paste quest of saving the world from absolute evil, whereas WRPGs tend to have no plot at all and put you into the role of the gay fantasy character of your choosing, but with no backstory and personality to speak of. In the end, it just comes down to the classic internet argument of Japan vs. America.
