Tons of people do it') is semi-inspired (well, would be if you toned down the OTT homoeroticism). But yes...there's an interesting discussion to be had at RPGnet about social shame and RPGs. Or there would be, were there not tons of posters who'd effectively shout you down and tell you admitting to shame made you even more of a loser... …on a second viewing of ‘Fear of Girls’ – it’s quite funny if you ignore the lame ‘Christian relatives’ bit; the LARP sequence with its brief defensive self-justification (‘It’s called Larping.

Swine are those people who think they are superior because of the games they play. End of the day, we have to remember we're the guys the nerds and dorks laugh at.

But anyway...as far as recruitment goes, I fear we're limited to standing at the top of the RPGnet and Yog-Sothoth forums and beating our chests... …well looking at one thread on TheRPGsite, ‘swine’ could include us Cthulhu players, as hey, that was poncy arty shite once upon a time (whereas now it’s all clunky and old-school).

RPGPundit hates everyone. I like his blog as a result :) You've not likely met many actual "swine". I know a few of them from the "good ol' days" Yeah Jim “at least half” is not comforting at all.

'Fear of Girls' is worth a watch if you haven't seen it... But then again, I'd say at least half the gamers I've met (well, 100% of those I've met in the last year) aren't like that at all. Though that's not really as comforting as it should be.
