this seems true for pretty much any male-dominated hobby, men ruin everything they form communities around. its true for games, guns, history, military, sci fi, martial arts, metal music, anime, etc.. how do straight men even stay attracted to straight women, they gatekeep each other out of their hobbies (or rather, men gatekeep both women from 'men's hobbies' and men from 'women's hobbies'), idk how any straight couple survives without shared interests other than fucking. like the stereotypical boomer couple doesn't do anything together except eat.

God, as someone who's casually into the hobby model building community, it's fucking insane. It's like you reach a weird black hole of the worst of the worst, because they're not just a model snob, they're a model snob within their special interest.

yea, especially for military models of historical and real stuff.
