Could be age group? Are you under 30? The hobby has opened up dramatically in the last generation. Before that, neurodivergents were well over the baseline for the population.
Closer to 40 now!
I think society has opened up to a lot of hobbies over the years. Used to be a closeted nerd myself as a female in video games but its nice that hobbies and fandom’s are more acceptable now than before.
I can see that! MTG is an older game… And used to be more for niche populations. Same as anime I suppose. I was wondering if its due to geographical location as well.
I feel you on the pain of gaming while girl. The cultures still need work, I still don’t open voice comms often, but damn has it come a long way. I’m sure geographical location has something to do with the population differences. A bigger city or more progressive area is a full two generations or more ahead of everywhere else in the country.
