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.
That’s a problem.
Its a problem a that this place is a Star Wars forum or that Star Wars just doesn’t attract women?
The latter.
No offense but do you actually know any women? This is extremely ignorant.
You called me out, and you are 100% right. I am wrong right here. I think I read or interpreted that question wrong. I think it’s bad that this forum does not attract women. There are also deeper societal reasons as to why this is the case.
I am sorry for my accidental ignorance in this situation. People must always acknowledge when they are wrong. Again, sorry.
Thank you. As I edited in above, the attitudes some display here (not you, you erred and apologized, which I appreciate, though obviously I don’t speak for women) both in off-topic and outside of it, are not exactly welcoming to women.
