Topic	Does the gender of writers, directors, producers matter in entertainment?

"space wizards" is just a placeholder for "fantasy concept". POs argument was that no one can write relatable fantasy content because fantasy is not real, but he's misidentified the audience. fantasy is not written for a fantastical audience, it's written for a real audience and only has to relate to a real audience. real people can definitely write fantasy that is targeted at real people. Kyuubi4269 posted... When it comes to targeting an audience, I think it's pretty stupid to aim at grils or buoys like that's a notable factor in their interests. A story is very rarely about being a man or woman and typically they're complete garbage. Anything else is just stereotyping men and women unnecessarily, shrinking the potential audience significantly. it's pretty common in young-adult fiction. I read a fair bit of Hardy Boys growing up, and tried Nancy Drew a few times as well. there's a pretty noticeable difference between the styles. Hardy Boys is definitely more interesting to me as a male than Nancy Drew. I don't know about the other way around though. I think in general, the narrower your audience, the closer you can get to really giving them what they want (assuming you are capable of doing so). the broader your audience, the more generic your content is going to be. maximizing the breadth of your audience despite genericizing your content might be a good move financially, but it will leave out a lot more "extreme" kinds of content that will never appeal to a general audience, and you'll tend to (I guess) have less "zealous" fans. I also think that focusing on gender so much definitely seems like something done at younger ages, but it's still at least partially relevant to more adult audiences. there are definitely movies that are targeted more to one gender than the other. --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* https://imgur.com/GMouTGs http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:933544339] in Does the g...
