Because most people are not so anal retentive as to give a damn about Hasbros trademarks.

Eh, it's part anal retention, part joke, part not wanting to give WotC the brand recognition.

Then you should use it as generically as possible so that the trademark becomes unenforceable. Brand dilution is a thing, it's why Alphabet doesn't want you using "google" as a verb, and why your mom was actually based for calling your Playstation "a nintendo".

okay but know that the effect of that is that is to help protect Hasbro's trademark. it's what they want from you.

I just don't agree with that reverse psychology logic my friend. It would be equally worthless if no one used it.
