I don’t like it in both cases.

It’s fine in both cases. Don’t read it if you don’t like it. Problem solved. Don’t police people’s hobbies. Believe it or not, people don’t want to see “realistic” people in escapist entertainment. I don’t want to watch a James Bond movie in which James Bond is played by Jonah Hill and he ends up with this girl in the end:

I don’t know man, that might be a funny movie.

Good grief. Good grief, do I ever despise passive aggressive people. Good grief, good grief, good grief.

I wasn’t trying to be passive aggressive in my post. I apologize for any confusion that that may have caused.

Now I’ve vented, could I suggest the OP make a list of what he or she wants to achieve with this thread (which has apparently become a “discussion”).

Your markdown syntax can make bullet points, it says so in most of HansiG’s posts.

I would like to:

  • Discuss ways to increase the diversity of the Original Trilogy forums, and not just with gender
  • Discuss the issue in general

How do you plan on doing that if there’s literally no way of knowing what gender/nationality a user is, when all you have to go by is an icon and a screen name?

I don’t mean to be cynical, I am just being realis…actually, for some reason I don’t think that’s the phrasing I’m looking for.

Maybe everybody here is secretly a FEMALE.

I mean, who even cares if women are posting or not. I don’t concern myself with the gender of everyone who posts here, and I don’t think it’s crossed the mind of most people here either.

If we improve diversity, we may have more people who post on this forum, and therefore a greater wealth of ideas.

We don’t want this place to become a sausage fest.

One of the appeals of this site for me is the tight-knit and relatively small community. I don’t think there’s any need to go out of our ways and try to get more members.

I hate people who go around claiming certain mental disorders aren’t real.

“ADHD, ADD, Apergers, all fucking nonsense.”

Yeah, okay, go let the actual scientists and psychologists know that you; Isaac Plumbo the burger flipper, figured it all out.

Of course they are real, but when a child is doing random shit and not doing his homework, doesn’t mean he has ADHD, which most parents immediately think.

My friend is a psychologist. He has parents come to him all the time with their kids who are failing all their classes and they want a paper about ADD or ADHD, but in reality, the kids are just lazy brats.

And this is true for 90% of people who tell you they have ADD, ADHD, OCD or some other disorder like that. And that’s bullshit, because that then just cements the idea that people with those disorders are just lazy fakers more.

Not sure about 90%, but I will say that ADHD is probably overdiagnosed. And there’s also a problem with people diagnosing themselves with something for attention. But to say that these things just straight up don’t exist is ridiculous.
