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.
That “problem” goes beyond the scope of just this forum. It not going to change anytime soon. Men and women just like to watch different kinds of movies/tv shows.
My sister liked to watch Freaks and Geeks with me like 15 years ago or whenever that show was on, and pretty much that whole thing is about adolescent boys. My sister is a girl. She liked that show. Some shows are obviously geared towards genders, mainly kids shows, but most family and adult entertainment is geared towards a mixed audience.
