Are all fa/tg/uys antisocial rejects, or is it just my group?
I seriously had to have a talk with one of my players about not leaving my toilet seat splattered to all fuck when he goes to take a piss. Fucker was actually offended that I'd brought it up, as if that's somehow worse that not being properly toilet trained.
Tell me there's better players than this.

This user's right
Also, when you have players who are intolerable, you can simply stop inviting them or kick them. It's a question of how and with whom you want to spend your own precious and limited free time.
There are, but most people who are involved with this hobby are absolute dregs.
You'll have a better time with getting friends, classmates, or coworkers to play. And for the love of god don't advertise in game stores.
Local LGS gets it's bathroom TRASHED every 15 minutes. The owner will clean it up, then people rush to use it while it's tolerable, then suddenly it's uninhabitable again.
Of course it's also shared with some women's support group thing, and building maintenance keeps finding the regular clogs are caused by tampons
shit and piss everywhere though
I play MtG at LGSes and at kitchen tablet, played DnD in college before moving on to pathfinder, shadowrun, everyone is john, and dread. I play board games and pc/playstation vidya. I own and paint war machine minis as well as old Mage Knight minis that I used for PnP.
I also have a had a gf for 5 years, plan to get married in a year or two, have a engineering job, and rent my own apartment where I have a vegetable garden and make car payments.
So no, I would be willing to bet most fa/tgguys aren't troglodytes. I've seen at most 3-5 per 50 people at any lgs I've been to
Fuckin hell
I started playing at Adventurer's League and there are three couples in the group. Two are great and one even gave me a really good game recommendation. The third couple, the guy is a sperg and the DM has repeatedly had to ask him to stop playing music and/or youtube videos during sessions. I cringe every time because I know this is going to conclude with him getting kicked out. Worst part is I don't have a car and I walk from my job so my father picks me up despite me being 21, so I don't want him seeing this kind of cringy shit. Admittedly I play more D&D with him than anyone else, but still...
I mean this guy's girl is almost like his mom it seems like. The fact that he has a girlfriend and I do not is very damaging to my self-esteem. I just can't imagine why a girl would want to be with a sperg like that; but then I can't imagine why a girl would want to be with me either.
Point is there are lots of spergs out there. I don't know why RPGs attract them so much. I have at least found a few normal people to play with thank god.
Over the years, I've found three things work.
1) Don't be an antisocial reject yourself.
2) Don't hesitate to drop someone from your group. For things like basic hygiene, do you really think a first warning will work? Do it if you like, but whatever the offense, don't let it drag on. Get them out of there before they can infect the rest of the group.
3) Constantly look for new players. Be social. Be inclusive.
Over time you'll put together a big group of high-quality players. My group took 5-10 years to build over time, but they're all high-quality players. Mostly the wives play, too. Good people, wonderful to hang with even if there's no game running. Many good GMs, which means no forever-GM or burnout issues.
That took time and attrition. Lots of shitty players came and after a session or two, went. I found if I let one stick around, he'd either screw up the game or bring a good player out of the game with him when I finally did give him the boot.
Power comes from alternatives. Trying more players gives you more alternatives.
No, I'm not fat, yes I am antisocial, and no I'm not a reject. Most magic players are normal dudes and ladies in my experience. LARPers and roll20 fags are exactly as you described.
>I just can't imagine why a girl would want to be with a sperg like that; but then I can't imagine why a girl would want to be with me either.
It's the nurse effect. Don't think too hard about it, it's a misguided attempt to help the person because they pity them and it always ends up bad.
