DnD has morphed from grim-fantasy to pure fantasy. All the green haired people who flocked to DnD are playing a different flavor than we did, and there ain't nothin wrong with that. At it's heart, its escapism wrapped in magic and swords.
DnD literally got woke for 5e. But the beauty of rules in your fantasy world is you ignore what you will. I ain't getting rid of orcs and kobolds don't look like dragons.
If you got a knack for storytelling, it can become pretty engaging. Character and plot development is a thing. And miniature wargaming has its own appeal as well. What DnD has that you don't : TIME. Its a fkin sink. Coordinating adults to play requires magic.
Personally I stick to 1.0 Pathfinder, which was made prior to the SJW kike infection, so it doesn't have any of the gay that D&D 5e has.

So true... got about 6 months into a nice campaign with some friends and then it evaporated because one of them flaked.
