TOASTYSTATS: Gender representation in movies vs. movie fanworks (part 7/7)

My mega analysis is now complete! Chapter 7 contains a TL;DR summary of what we do and don’t know now, as well as some final thoughts on fandom questions & discourse about bias.  Excerpts are shown above.

(The chapter also contains elaboration and notes on a number of the above slides, so if you have questions, they might be answered there.)

Huge thanks to the many people who inspired this work and/or gave feedback or encouragement!  ( @fffinnagain @dendritic-trees @saathi1013 @annathecrow and any others I might be forgetting – thank you!!  I also had some fantastic non-Tumblr betas who are thanked in the slides.)  

I also want to thank all the people who’ve left really thoughtful and kind feedback or follow up questions on the chapters so far.  The response has been lovely.  And I hope some folks end up feeling inspired to gather their own data on follow up or related questions (and to share the results with the #fandom stats tag)!
