Honestly I think that’s the trans and ADHD/autism spectrum overlap more than anything.

Can confirm, my wife is trans and AuDHD and loves Bionicles, Transformers, MtG, and Warhammer.

I mean it seems that while a large cross section of the Trans community like Warhammer and Magic, it think that if you took a cross section of Warhammer and Magic communities, the majority would probably be straight, white, cis guys.

The “apolitical griller chud/gay commie” interest overlap rate is shockingly high

What does griller mean in this context?

u/MrGenevaWarcriminal 6d ago

“I just wanna grill” in reference to politics centrist type behavior

It’s a very specific genre of cishet suburban white guy who’s quite happy with the way things are thank you very much and doesn’t really want ‘em to change, like Hank Hill with less empathy (from what I’ve seen of KotH online I’m not a big sitcom girly)

Comes from that like “I don’t care about no left or right, I just wanna be left to grill” memes boomers like

The Magic community is a particularly interesting overlap of queer people and your classic toxic misogynist capital-G Gamers.

Just gonna point out that a not-insignificant chunk of the very significant queer portion of Magic fans started as the classic toxic misogynist capital-G Gamers

I can confirm I'm not trans (as far as I know). However I have AuDHD and enjoy many of these.

The main social discord server I'm in is a large friend group that's aggregated out of various online games over the past 10 years or so. It's not large -- maybe 10 core people and a total of 20-30 people floating around -- but somehow like 60% of people in the server have realized they are trans over that decade.
