You know, I’m starting to think this thread was a better idea than y’all said it was.
Because it somehow helped?
Not that I can see.
It could have helped.
By getting more diverse people to join the forum?
The thread could have diagnosed the problems that are getting more diverse people to not join the forum, and therefore, put the structures in place that would help more of them join the forum.
And as I said, discussions about diversity are useful. It raises awareness about the issue, which is important.
Its a Star Wars forum. Its not going to attract women.
I’m not even going to read any farther to see if anyone else responded yet.
What the fuck, man?
I know right? What about the women that are on the forum? Also, I’m pretty sure there’re a lot of women on the Force dot net.
Every female in my house (at last count four, including the dog) loves Star Wars.
And yes, what about Mark’s Down. Or twister (before she left). Or Mala. Or Molly. Or Mielr (can’t remember her actual username, I’m sure that’s way off). Or all the others I’m forgetting.
But with some of the attitudes here (including in non-off-topic areas, see Mary Sue arguments) it’s not surprising most wouldn’t want to post.
