Nah man, think about it, rock makes no goddamn sense from a lore perspective. Scissors cut paper, sure, I can see that as a win condition. Rock breaks scissors? I guess that’s not wrong, but like, who’s out here breaking scissors with rocks on the regular? How did the rock become the scissor’s greatest nemesis? Then we get to the big one: Paper covers rock? You’re telling me this is such a devastating blow that rock has no choice but to resign in disgrace? You really want me to believe that a fist-sized rock couldn’t just plow through your standard sheet of 8.5x11" ANSI Letterhead like it’s, well… paper? The whole thing is propaganda by Big Paper and they’ve got us drilling it into our kids’ heads from day 1, and I’m not having it.
Surely paper is the weakest link in classic RPS
