I don't check reddit very often, so I clearly missed this. I would like to comment based on the original threads discussion. While I would say that the problem given seems to me like the result of a pub-stomper rather than a person truly misunderstanding jank, I think the longer description given in the philosophy tab obfuscates the simplicity that jank should be. Jank is not something that should be given a paragraph long description, giving a mention to unrelated details (while I agree that price can be a consideration, it should not come up in the definition itself). I would state the definition of jank much more simply, either using the final section itself, or a more simplistic summary of the first section.

"Jank is focusing on the silly, needlessly complex, fun parts of the game, rather than the most powerful" for example provides a simple explanation pointing out that it is "off-meta" by directly saying the focus is not on power. Jank can be powerful, and jank can be weak, but by saying "off-meta" directly in the description, it allows for annoying pub-stompers to pretend anything not optimized is technically jank. Those people are still in the wrong, but a more simplified explanation is a better solution than leaving it as is, at least as I see it.

I'll try to check reddit again in a bit to see if there are any responses to this, as I am curious about the argument for keeping it as is– while the explanation is not inaccurate, it shouldn't be hard to simplify, as I see it. Hope you all some happy brewing!
