I think what FRPGs (not FPRGs) teach us is that fantasy is an excellent Rorschach test; people look at it and project their own biases.
(BTW, not all FRPGs favor stupid/selfish/obsessive/violent behavior. Computer games in that category often do because those are relatively easy to program. Traditional wetware roleplaying games become as complex a world as the players want them to be; if you don’t like the world you’re playing in or the characters you’re playing with, find another group.)
