Hey, one thing I've been talking about lately is balance.
And there's one area in particular that seriously needs balance.
Women and Men in the media.
Now one thing I've noticed in media is the huge amount of male characters in films, both side and main and about 90% of the cast in Hollywood films are male.
So you might think, so should we have more films with mostly girls?
NOOO!
Don't appeal to genders as if there is a gender stereotype.
The best way to fix this problem is to have the cast of characters 50/50.
Please that's it.
Have 50% of characters female, and 50% male. And please don't write them as if they are a gender. Don't write a girl and don't write a guy. Write a PERSON.
So for instance, for kid films, instead of there being 1 girl among 5 lads, make it 1 girl around 2 girls and 3 lads.
All the most successful shows that appeal to all have at least somewhat equal amount of each sex.
Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons.
Please, females shouldn't just be shoved in there to get the female audience. Because people, girls are pretty much like guys. We may have some differences but a good balance person like both masculine and feminine and that's the way it should be.
So if and when I ever break into media that is my goal. To have girls as integral as the boys and to not differentiate the sexes.
Peace out!
