God, I hate people who try to treat games like their own personal therapy sessions
Like, I really don't want them to play out their psychodramas on the tabletop. It's like trying to make Monopoly about how your Dad never loved you.

A more accurate analogy would be to make monopoly about how you are poor, but I understand what you're saying and I agree.
Who asked?
As opposed to you, who uses /tg/ as your personal therapist.
God, I hate people who try to treat threads like their own personal therapy sessions
Like, I really don't want them to play out their psychodramas in the thread. It's like trying to make Monopoly about how your roleplaying groups never last for more than a handful of sessions.
God, I hate people who try to treat therapy like their own personal game sessions
Like, I really don't want them to play out their dicerolls on the couch. It's like trying to make a trip to the dentist about Shadowrun.

Frick me there's one guy in our extended circle of gamer buddies who is awful for this kind of shit. Anyone making the therapy claim I guarantee is a degenerate that guy who is, at best, the only one who even vaguely thinks of it that way.
I blame social media, our one has a bunch of losers egging him on and "affirming" all of his shit choices and nobody wants the hassle of publicly telling him to knock it the frick off. So over time he's just gotten more and more codependent and creepy as his normal buddies get weorded out and drift away.
This guy openly talks about RPG sessions helping with his "wellbeing", which is shorthand for having IC relationships as a substitute for an actual boyfriend. Fricker posts self drawn borderline porn of his characters on sites where his fricking mum can see it, and hassles the GM to play hpuse between sessions.
Meanwhile the GM b***hes behind his back about him being a thirsty frickwit wasting game time and creeping out the other players. This is in a campaign with an expert GM who absolutely does not take shit from his PC's, frick knows what this player is like in more permissive settings. The player thinks it's some kind of therapeutic awakening, everyone else just cringes.
Sad thing is, for the first few years the guy really had everything going for him. He went from a smart, charismatic 10/10 femboy to gradually putting weight on and not looking after/grooming himself or holding down a job. All he needs is a gym sub and to start showering, but he has no social pressure so he won't.

Explains a lot.
Hey at least I can hide my power level in polite company.

Specialized groups for teaching autists social skills

i dont get the image. why is she crying throughout the whole thing?
because someone was treating the game like their own therapy session, it said it right there in the OP.
In the show, being the current champion mech duelist entitles you to wear a special gold and white academy uniform and to marry the daughter of the mecha corporate group president. The girl in the picture was the champion for most of season 1 and 2, but finally lost in season 2, losing both her special uniform and fiance, and suffered a breakdown. In the comic she is coloring her standard uniform to pretend she's still champion.
So stop running narrative focused games. GM autism about plots is basically an invitation for mentally ill alt-life bullshit.
I dunno, the sandbox types who just want to frick about can be just as bad
I don't understand the image
Fortunately you have no game so this isn't a problem for you.
