The problem with modern roleplayers

I am so fucking sick of selfish, scene stealing elitists. They always want to have their private, in depth, soul-searching narcissistic word diarrhea eruptions right in the middle of something important, like combat. Why exactly they gravitate towards ttRPGs instead of wandering over to their local shakespeare festival or some other conglomeration of shit where at least they wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb is beyond me, but they are the cancer that is killing games.

Cam down buddy and greentext us what's happened

>Playing near future sci-fi totally not inspired by Star Wars campaign.
>Fighting the good fight, you know?
>New guy joins
>Wants to play a more conventional terrorist type, because he has to be edgy
>Has to whine about how his people were off hiding in the mountains and fucking each other's goats, because muh backstory
>Has to go on and on about how the bad guys we're fighting intervened for no reason and gassed his people's settlement
>Has to have special (but useless) weapons, instead of the guns the rest of us use, he's got a poison stinger installed in his mouth, and a CQC weapon; gauntlets that heat up and fry people, combined with a personal shield that isn't so great but sometimes lets him get into close range to use it.
>Winds up actually using a plasma rifle like everyone fucking else, but is terrible at it.
>Get mission to defend archeologists at some dig site, they might be uncovering something important which would attract the baddies.
>Keeps whining about how static defense in our situation is a terrible idea, we should just grab the eggheads and run.
>Instead of actually deploying, goes to talk to said scientists to try to get them to leave, now.
>GM shuts down that stupid shit.
>Send him off to scout the mountain, away from anyone else so I don't have to hear him talk.
>He finds some kind of transmitter, destroys it, baddies are spying on us.
>He keeps saying we have to leave immediately, before we get gassed or blown up by artillery or anything else the bad guys have.
>We get attacked.
>We beat the enemy forces off.
>He keeps whining that there have to be more of them, because why would they send an appropriately leveled encounter at us (BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING GAME YOU FUCKTARD)
>Whine whine whine, bitch bitch bitch.
>He talks more than the other 4 of us in character combined, and always tries to hog the spotlight.

That's not an example of "a modern roleplayer", that's just a That Guy or at least someone who isn't on the same page as you. Why not fucking talk it out with them instead of bringing a shit argument to Veeky Forums?

I actually agree, we had an action scene where my character was struggling not to drown in quicksand, but the other player wanted to describe how his guy (who was perfectly fine out of the water) was hemming and hawing over weather to give a proper elven burial to a dead body of a scout we had found hours before.

That's not stealing thw spotlight, that's just being an unsufferable fag who can't adapt. Does he have autism?
Have the group speak with him:
He gets his shit together, or you kick him out.

I don't believe that anybody who uses this board plays games with "new" players let alone rotates players enough that they can form an accurate opinion on "players these days"

You beat off the enemy forces? Your GM is pretty nice, my GM's enemies would demand at least fellatio to be left in peace.

That joke kind of sucked.
