Holy fuck, this is too long even to read! I have dishes to wash! Monday morning fashion crises to avert! Bed to go to!
*mournful*
I know. I can't shut up, even when it's a topic no one is interested in! But, well, we're having the house termited. I have spare time, and I had a shitty week, so I'm doing Self Indulgent LJ Posting. *is firm* (Note: you are not required to read tl;dr Self Indulgent LJ Posting.)
It hadn't occurred to me that AMVers are mostly male, or that the particular one who'd wandered over to talk about it in your livejournal might be.
*sporfle*
You know, I've been nosing around the edges of AMVs for so long that it never occurred to me that I'd need to spell that out, but of course I should have. Most AMV makers are male (though there are many females involved - and, oddly, they seem more interested in talking about feedback and such, judging by the forum post). Almost all the old-time AMV makers seem to be male, and a quick scan of the top part of the top 10% list (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/top10percent.php) suggests that it's about 80% guys.
And all the AMV makers who have wandered over to my LJ comments or emailed to talk about AMVs have been guys, oddly enough.
