things you are tired of telling non-gamers

I don't like how some games are dismissed or presumed childish because they have a colour palettes outside of browns and a few other muted, drab colours, style, genre or lack of Darker and Edgier elements.

This happens a lot regarding Nintendo games that are for only for little kids even though they are rated E. But this could apply for any game that uses a style or palette that ain't Dedgyark. I've seen people refuse to play games like Braid or Team Fortress 2 because they're "too colorful therefore only for little kids"

That just because you can do something in a game (e.g., mow down a hooker to get your money back in Grand Theft Auto) does not mean that you have to.

On a similar note, that you can get through a lot of games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and GTA without killing anyone other than those that are absolutely necessary, and in the former's case, you can finish the game without killing anyone except ones that the game makes you kill.
