We should start calling them WSRPGs and JSRPGs so the idiots will realize what we mean.

Just call it an Action RPG.
Because that's what it is.
There's nothing wrong with this.

Call of duty is a roleplaying game because you roleplay as a soldier.

Obviously.
I thought this was common knowledge.

IGN says that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the greatest video game ever made of all time and I agree.

People calling it a JRPG don't seem to know what JRPG refers to. JRPG and WRPG refer to styles of play rather than where they're made. We just adapted such letters because where each style was more commonly produced a couple decades ago.

No such thing.

Final Fantasies XIV, XV, and VIIR. Probably also XVI. That's about as close as I can think to such a thing existing. Even then, Elden Ring and other Souls games are not this.

JRPG means Japanese STYLE RPG. An RPG made in Japan doesn't automatically make it a JRPG. It's a genre, not a label for where it was made.

it does tbf, video game genre names are awful and meaningless and are more colloquialisms than semantic descriptors. "JRPGs" have a lot of shared genre conventions that lump them together
