May be you are too young to understand how all of this work but we're roleplaying with a medieval fantasy setting on a minecraft server, while minecraft is used as a medium, our characters are apart of a kingdom, they are apart of a team. Some of us will never have any involvement in any team sport for their whole lives, it is a new experience for some people. For some people, they take roleplaying seriously, when their character gets hurt or faces a challenge it reflects on their personal lives. That is an unhealthy lifestyle that some players develop over the years, in other words, they forget how to have fun. While Minecraft is a big part of it, it is a very small part of it in whole scheme. We're medieval peasants.

for many ppl its a stand-in for life

Because they literally have no power IRL and use lotc as an unhealthy coping mechanism to have some small control over things. Lotc is wild in that people will constantly stab each other in the back for 0 reason and make people go full schizo while being gaslit that they're just overthinking things.
