Ah, well the mainstream media for the most part is one huge joke, and has been for a long time..

Which is pretty much what the people were getting at, and it basically became a 'We want more girls and other such representation in the media' and '... why? What if it doesn't even fit the story?'.

Both sides have good points.

I really do not like the drama caused by the disagreements.

Before someone says I cause drama, I have never really been involved in BZP drama.

I agree there. Everyone really needs to calm down, I think. Discussing stuff when they're gonna be heated about it does not help at all.

The thing is it is just like facebook... for things like this, nothing is going to change because of what is written. If you want everybody or nobody to be able to carry a gun, fo instance, you need to write to your legislators, not a forum or facebook.
An online debate or discussion is either social or intellectual exercise, or both.. but the only thing ever likely to actually happen, in rare instances, is a change of opinion. And NO ONE is a good person or bad person based on their opinions.

And BTW I can list dozens of news women on BBC alone!

Well; I don't think anyone's complaining about that; it's more like, in different shows or series or such. But even that's been getting better???

I believe the reason for that is that the networks program for advertisers/customers.  Demographics. It depends on what the advertisers are trying to sell.
So if you take NCIS for instance, sells cars and such.  DeNozzo, Gibbs, and Tim all appeal to different groups of women.. therefore they pull in more age groups. Guys, on the other hand, don't need a girl to be age appropriate, just pretty or attractive. So Ziva  is gonna pull in a wide range of ages for guys. Lots of viewers to spend dollars. I have no idea about the casts of shows like survivor or modern family, or the shows most younger people watch but on the shows I watch, that seems to be the formula... 
Given that I have not seen the BZP thread I could still be way off base.

It's been around the blogs, but that's a good point too.

That said, iirc, one thing was about the comments about more females in the LEGO movie 2. I think it actually originated in the talkback for that article, but...

BZP apparently can't stay away from certain topics.

If this continues... I want to message an admin about it. Part of the problem is that... certain staff members are a little too enthusiastic about these certain topics and that I think skews the rules a little bit, alongside the clique problem I mentioned earlier. I know how easy it is to abuse power as a moderator.

But I'm not going to call them out like they would to people with differing ideas, opinions, and ideologies to them. I like to think I'm more mature than that. Not saying I am, just that I like to think that, even if it may not be true, I'm not going to be unbiased about myself.

Nobody listens to rude people. Why on earth would you listen to them, anyway?

It is totally wrong to break rules as a staff member, and if their actions are noticeable to you they are noticeable to others.
You do have to remember that just because someone is staff, they do not loos their right to HAVE an opinion themselves. It is NOT an abuse of power to have an opinion and state that opinion AS A MEMBER even tho they are staff. IF they break any rules they should be subject to the same consequences as anyone else who breaks a rule, however. They may also have to correct someone in the same thread who has broken a rule, which complicates things.

You should say something if you feel you want to.  If you want to check the wording on anything you plan to say, or ask for help with wording, I am sure any of us here would be happy to help with that. =)

We are currently unsure how it happened, because after testing, it seems Steam has leveled up in emoticon defense over the last few months. =P
