Yeah, one would figure that these people would WANT more girls in the hobby cause is easier to create a relationship with someone you share interests and hobbies with.

I never understood the hate for female players, i would kill to have more girls in the hobby because i like women that share hobbies with me, luv me gamer girls and board gamer sisters.

You can find them in every European country that fought in the world wars i think.
Here in Italy every town has at least one monument to WW1/2 fallen, and the one i lived had two: One for the fallen of the world wars and another for a local that was awarded a medal after dying in Russia

To this day i still wonder why they don't change it to "Amerigo Vespucci Day" and be done with it, since as far as i know he didn't commit any heinous atrocity
