Serious question, I don't mean to offend (at least not yet ;) ) - do you only ever play DnD? Because this community is called RPGmemes and I rarely (if ever) see anything but DnD.
Personally, I also like genericizing D&D.
It's a shorthand for folks outside or new to the hobby, it skips a hurdle to talk to people about other RPGs with those people, and it weakens the brand identity. Considering how much D&D has coasted on brand identity as the game suffered, I'm all for that.
I'm less likely to do it places like here, because it causes more confusion, but still. It's fun to say, "Pathfinder is a great way to play D&D." :P
I prefer TTRPG because it doesn't give free advertising to Hasbro. Even if most people know what you mean, someone googling D&D ends up at Hasbro's product.
I use RPG. CRPGs can have a more-than-four-letter-acronym.
Never played DnD but the US community is 90% DnD so...
I play Shadowrun and Blades in Dark for now.
Mostly play PF2e nowadays, but I'm open to other systems. I get the feeling that some people use DnD as a shorthand for all TTRPGs tho
What is stopping you from posting non-D&D TTRPG content?
Be the change you want to see in the world
Swapping my own group to PF2e and we've all played other systems (lancer, sw saga, vtm, cyberpunk, kids on bikes, etc). I do think if a meme says something different than DnD (using it as a generic term for TTRPG) you'll get more people commenting on the system rather than relating to the meme (like if this said Traveler there'd be more comments about never played Traveler or if it said PF2e comments would be more about the system war).
Was wondering about that, too.
I play Warhammer Fantasy right now after a 10 year break or so.
Before that some other stuff using GURPS.
Never played DnD
Warhammer has its own community but theyre of course welcome here
