I've held off on this one a while but recent events have gotten me thinking, and I want to discover whether it's true what they say about gender tendencies in fandom... So I might as well ask now. ALFs: are you male or female?

If you couldn't guess I'm male! And the only American fan on here. I guess I represent America on here.

Not necessarily, someone just honestly may not want to say because they don't want to be judged based on their gender. I have several friends who consider themselves hermaphrodites (or use another type of distinction) and sometimes they truly prefer not to answer these type of questions.

Yeah, pretty much what I meant. Some people just don't WANT to say what gender they are, to avoid gender-based assumption (and then there are people who have complications with regards to their gender, etc).

Embarrassingly, I thought you were female, at first! laugh.gif It's awesome to have an American fan around.

Now THIS is interesting. Thus far we have an almost total BALANCE of male and female (though if this pole had been posted years ago I would';v e expected more females... but them, maybe I just happened to interact more with the girls).

Hyperpsychomaniac, LightningFlash, Sparx, and Shadowcat are all girls who aren't around here so much any more. And then there's Allison and Arctic, both girls. (Arctic is writing fic! This fannish activity ought to be encouraged.) But with you new fans, the gender ratio has started to even out... Which reminds me of the old sexist statistic that, when 50% are women, men perceive that equality as being dominated by women. Well, I think this fandom over time has been mostly women, but 'tis a very small statistical sample and I do appreciate all new fans.

I voted! smile.gif

I'm pretty sure that for a good while before Rotgut came along, there were no active male fans in the forum. I could be wrong though.

What made you think I was female tongue.gif

And like I've said before, Ace totally flew under the radar here in America. It was on a crap network in a crap time slot, so it was never given a fair chance (at least where I lived.) I've only ever met one other person who ever HEARD of Ace Lightning. It was the theme song that hooked me!!!

well since fandom is mainly female In just kind of assumed... XD bad assumption, I know.

You know it's such a shame that Ace missed the radar because a good audience in america could've REALLY set the show on fire and we might now be having some very different and awesome converstaions sad.gif

On the other hand I may never have MET half the people on here because you'd all be lost in the throng, so things even out tongue.gif

It's okay, we all make assumptions at some point.

I kind of prefer this to the more populated boards. Theirs a more close atmosphere here, as opposed to forums that over 10,000 members.

Although if Ace had made it big in America we might have gotten a third series.

Meh. Human nature or something, I guess.

I know what you mean. The bigger boards feel more like... information brokering units than like actual communities, sometimes.
Exactly... hat third season would've been great sad.gif

Male. Been a fan since 2002 since it aired here Tuesdays 5:30pm for the original airing of Series 1 and each weekday for the original airing of Series 2. Can still remember the advertisements on the ABC. Other good times was me and an old friend at school impersonating Staffhead and Lord Fear. I loved my friends impersonation of Staffhead if Lord Fear broke him in two when he was angry.
