Reading horse shit like this turns me into such a boomer. Even when players are misbehaving these days you're supposed to coddle them and never question their right to a power fantasy, where absolutely nothing bad ever happens to them, they're never challenged and they're never tricked. It's pathetic, and why the balance of DMs to players is worse than ever.

Also, are you expected to continue to DM a game you're not comfortable with? Fuck that noise.

Definitely met some players who seem to think the DM is only there to keep players having a good time

You absolutely ARE questioning their right to a power fantasy. The "hey, maybe turn down the murderhoboing" is the "are you sure" before you kick them from the table. I'm not going to coddle them and never question their right to be at the table, or their right to have their characters die satisfying deaths. I'm removing all power they have in the game in a single sentence.
