This article about Chess and girls in the NYTimes today: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/nyregion/4-young-chess-masters-tackle-a-persistent-puzzle-the-gender-gap.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0 had me thinking...

We all know 40k like chess is a masterful tactical game of strategy and we always comment on the lack of girls in our hobby and the preponderance of overweight to obese sweaty (thus smelly) white dudes. Maybe it is time to accept just that guys are simply better than females in 40k? I've never seen a female ITC tournament winner or at Adepticon. It's almost always been some fat white dude.

Thoughts?

That's a heck of a Strange topic but.... Well, you said it yourself there are few girls in those games, so, as a consequence, they''re far less represented. It seems to me that's Nothing but randomness and matter of tastes.

Or GW promotes fat white dudes

Wh40k a masterful tactical game? Did I miss a major rules overhaul?

Also, according to your logic, only fat white dudes are better than girls. And that I would agree with. Lack of social responsibilites definitely helps in penetrating overly convoluted rule sets.

Obvious troll thread is obvious.
