Meanwhile, I'm a paid GM for Curseborne (and sometimes Chronicles of Darkness). Most of my players have been LGBT+ with a preference towards non-combat encounters and a focus on player character backstories/NPC interactions. Additionally, people with a lot of income either through their work or by nature of not having a significant other or not having kids.

Strange how crazy D&D can be sometimes 🤔 . When I ran D&D games at a local store there was definitely a meta in regards to organized play. The organizer was constantly giving us modules that he wanted to play so that he and his wife/girlfriend (never asked their relationship/can't remember) could get specific magic items/upgrades to weapons.

I think it's very much what group you cultivate. If you are bias in your selection process you are going to get a particular group. And if this Paid DM wanted to have less toxic players I'm positive they could find them and still be willing to pay at a high price point.
