But the developers have told you how they feel and literally the style isn't about Japan at all anymore? I don't understand why you would be do determined to keep it?
Because everyone knows what I mean when I say JRPG, and I've never used it as a pejorative. I'm not sure how you'd describe those games better or more succinctly.
This is going to sound really dickish and maybe it is, but people will keep it because it's a helpful descriptor and the developers feelings about the term are less important than the term being helpful. Plus there's no ill intent behind it.
It's like if you built a ranch-style home then threw a fit when people called it that because you don't like the term. Sorry, but people are going to call it that because it's helpful and not intended to be disparaging.
