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.
