[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7632909, member: 4348"] So is that how the fad died? I thought it just sort of died out like most fads do...people get excited and then eventually lose interest. I think the surprising thing that some are finding out these days are that FAR MORE girls played than previously thought. They just didn't play it in the same manner that boys did (more in their own groups at home instead of broadcasting it far and wide publically in schools, conventions, and other places). When one doesn't feel welcome in some areas, they tend not to GO to those areas...especially when playing TT games. It's that recognition that is sparking more realization of the numbers of girls that actually play and trying to make them more comfortable in areas where previously (gamestores, conventions, and other such things) the atmosphere could have been perceived as hostile to girls and as a boys only club. It's an attitude that I feel is slowly changing (there is STILL a STRONG sentiment of this out there) which is making people of ALL genders and sexes (boys, girls, and others as well) feel more welcome in what were formerly locations where the feeling was that only the BOYS were welcome.
