Have you been in nerd circles? Highly populated by women. They're just not highly visible online because online nerd culture, like gamer culture, can be misogynistic and pretty vicious to women. |

There doesn't need to be any resistance to these developments, guys.
Some of the absolute best characters in the superhero universe are women. There is nothing wrong with inclusion, so long as the writing remains strong. I'll counter some of the incorrect intuition we've seen in this thread with some of my own: I'm guessing the dudes disputing this are often just old. If you're old, comics were run by men, written for boys, and largely monolithic. If you're under the age of 40, however, you'll see that the growing female boon in comic and comics films sales have been growing like gangbusters over the last 20 years. And, honestly, if any part of you like comic books and comic book culture, you will have women to thank going forward. Because women are the ones who will save the industry. |

Essentially, they have panels of consumers who have been recruited to help with the research (not completely unlike Nielsen does with TV), and they balance their panels against Census demographics. They then use the panel to conduct custom studies. In this case, it looks like they went out to people who were known to be book purchasers, then kicked anyone out who wasn't a "graphic novel" purchaser, then created a profile of those who were. All that said, it looks like buyers of SUPERHERO comics are heavily male (only 22% female), so the 37% female number is being driven somewhat by MANGA purchasers (44% female). That would help to explain a bit of the perception differences in this thread. |

Who ever thought super heroes had to be male? What does being a super hero have to do with human gender?

Larson deserves a lot of credit. She's drummed up a lot of attention for herself and the movie now. It may not need it, but it can't hurt. She may not be a troll. She may not even know that she trolled. But she did, and quite well

That’s trolling... how? We all want more diversity. Or so I thought, anyway. |
