This ticks me off a bit, because the OP is basically saying that they thought they were ‘cool’ because they liked Dragon Age, and they thought most DA fans were guys. Now that they realize most fans are actually girls, the game loses some of its prestige for them. Dragon Age is amazing because the people that made it are amazing, and paying attention to something so silly as the gender of the fans in order to base your satisfaction with the fact that you share in that fandom sort of demeans the game you so adore in the first place.
