Do shitty RPGs make shitty players or do shitty players make shitty RPGs?

Neither.
Shitty players are shitty players and shitty RPG makers make shitty RPGs

I'm aware you're trying to make a bait thread but the way I see it is:
>Casual faggots who think they can do better make a shit game (looking at you, ruleslights)
>This shit game in turn attracts more casuals
>Casual players then overtake the hobby and everything is ruined
And that's why /tg/ is even worse now.

Don't talk shit about my waifu, you son of a bitch.

On the other hand, old grodnards also make shit games, generally shitty rules-heavy games. Some casual, rules-light games are also pretty good, though obviously for different types of campaigns than crunchier games.

It's more of a rock paper scissors situation. Shitty players are usually a result of trying to protect themselves from the DM. Shitty DMs are usually caused by shitty rule systems that encourage counter-productive behaviors either overtly or accidentally. Shitty rules systems are caused by the shitty tastes of the average RPG mega-consumer.
My sincere hope is that 5e is the start of this cycle breaking, but it's got a hell of a lot further to go.

behold, a faggot
Too bad it's only your projection because such casuals really overtaking the hobby would be all I can ask for. But it isn't happening.

Is roleplaying bad? I see this idea being spread through many smokescreens and other more direct statements around. Is literally interpretating a character a bad thing in a game that was supposed to do that? Is it all game and no roleplaying?

>less rules equals less roleplay, not less game
You honestly believe that rolling dice is roleplay, don't you?
Holy shit....
