I really dislike when people say that "gender is irrelevant" because I don't believe it's true. Especially when it's that groundless!
I wouldn't have mind him having male writers. It's the fact he didn't even have female writers. I think 50/50 in such cases is mandatory!
I think what he does, which some people tend to do, is assume that "different" means "not equal" (i.e. that one gender is beneath the other) and that is simply not true. I think it's self entitlement. As man he's offensed (offensed he tells us!) that anyone could consider him or any other male as not the best alker on the subject of a female genre. He should be entitled to talk about anything he wants, damnit! *chuckles*
(as far as I know, Ewen and Travis are both male names - I know of no females with those names). Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure of that, and that makes it all the more upsetting.
I admit it might be difficult in such a male medium as RPG to find female writers for a small, starting compagny... but when you deliberatly try for a genre like shoujo trying to find some female writers should be mandatory.
