Dropout should hire more trans women.

That said, a couple things about the data set floating around showing disproportionality in casting:

1. 7 of the top 9 (those cast members who appear in over 100 episodes, everyone else has under 70 appearances) are members of the core dimension 20 cast, aka “the intrepid heroes”. This cast has been in 7 of the 22 seasons, with those seasons usually being 20-ish episodes long (the other seasons are between 4-10 episodes long typically). That’s approximately 140 episodes for each of the main intrepid heroes cast members just for these seasons (not including bonus content like live shows). Brian Murphy has appeared 154 times, which means almost all of his appearances were on D20 intrepid heroes campaigns.

2. The other 2 in the top 9 are Sam Reich and Mike Trapp, who are both hosts of long running shows (Game Changer and Um, Actually)

3. 198 of the 317 episodes that noncis “TME” people have appeared in can be attributed to ally Beardsley alone (there is some crossover where for example alex and ally have both appeared in the same episodes). Erika ishii has been in 67 of the 317 noncis “TME” episode appearances i don’t know how much crossover there is between them but i don’t think they’ve been on d20 together so i doubt it’s more than 20. It could be as many as 250 of the 317 episodes that have either erica or ally. Both Erika and ally are majorly skewing the results for the data

4. Over 3/4 of people have no listed gender identity in the spreadsheet - most of them have 1-2 appearances, but a few have 3-4 appearances. I’m pretty sure these people aren’t included in the data at all (some of them i’m p sure are not cis like jiavani and bob the drag queen)

5. The data collector has assigned “tme” and “tma” to various cast members.

TME: transmisogyny exempt

TMA: transmisogyny affected

Now, tranmisogyny can affect trans women, trans femmes, and nonbinary people, and occasionally masculine appearing cis women.

I personally do not believe that an outside person can assign you a label deciding whether or not you experience certain types of oppression- and yet that is what the data collector has done.

I think a more accurate label would be amab/afab, or more honestly- “people i think are amab or have said they are amab and then everyone else”

6. The data does not include many of their newer shows such as Very Important People, Gastronauts, Play it By Ear, and Monet’s Slumber Party, all of which feature trans people (MSP, Gastronauts, and VIP are all hosted by noncis people)

What I think the data more accurately shows:

- Dimension 20 has a “main cast” who have appeared in the majority of episodes

- Dropout has some “regulars” who appear on the majority of their content/shows (sam has referenced multiple times that brennan is one of the first people he calls whenever someone can’t show up for something since he’s nearly always down for anything) - none of these people are trans women

Final thoughts:

I think eliminating “hosts” and the “intrepid heroes” from THIS TYPE of data set would be more appropriate because they massively skew the data when crunching the numbers for dropout shows. Especially since I can tell from the excel sheet that there are shows missing. Examining d20 sidequests and the guests on the other shows will give a more accurate representation of casting. Hosts should be analyzed separately as that’s a different casting process.

Also imagine if we referred to men and women as “misogyny exempt” and “misogyny affected” when doing demographics. Or if someone did a data collection of the number of POC appearances in dropout episodes and sorted it by “racism affected” and “racism exempt” - so weiiiiird

TLDR: the data set has massive issues with its methodology and that should be considered. That doesn’t make what trans women are saying less valid.

In other words: spiders brennan is an outlier and should not have been counted

Even just a bit, but then lian came so. He wasnt just tryng to come back to his old life, he was txoming back and improving it and actually LIVING it. And of course its normal forhim to not wanna go back, its normal for gim to not believe liam, the poor man was still in denial and honestly thats okay, he can act a bit mean here and there and make them (him and liam) go through alot of trouble, but he also hepped!! He sgeltered liam and everything, he even go find oscar even when he still didnt fully believe liam, he CARED. He went rhough loss of his sister and he have to leave his life behind, and then he loses liam bc hes in the plane doesnt know where liam is and then, he loses the chance to go home. Bryce is trying to get through it, hes trying to just. Live to be nromal to for get about all of this like none of it have ever happen at all but he always fail and he always lose, but mo matter what happen he still tried, he help liam, he tried to get eevryone to pull the plug bc he believe it would end, he didnt cared about chances anymore, did he know whats gonna happen after they pull the plug? Propably nothing, theyll no l9nger be controlled by airy, sure but then what? He isnt afraid of chances anymore, he didnt wanna continue trying to find normality anymore, he wanted it to end.

Can you infodump to me about whatever youre currently obsessed with

can i? dude you're going to have to stop me with force i REALLY want to infodump I just never have the excuse to do it. I'll be nice enough to put it under a read more though because this is very long.

let me tell you about this little streaming service called dropout.tv because it has taken over my life. it was started by the people at collegehumor (idk if you know it, they made sketch comedy and that sort of videos for over a decade) when they got tired of having to conform to advertisers on sites like youtube or facebook. and also not long after dropout launched collegehumor's parent company tried to sell the brand since it wasn't profitable enough for them leading to Sam Reich, who's worked at collegehumor pretty much since the beginning, acquiring the rights. however he did have to lay off pretty much everyone except a skeleton crew plus Brennan Lee Mulligan who created the most popular series on the platform. but everyone else keeps working at dropout on a freelance basis so it's all good.

anyway with the launch of dropout they moved away from scripted comedy to really a wide variety of unscripted content. the series that got me into dropout is game changer, a game show where the contestants don't know what game it is they're going to play since the game changes (almost) every time. it is SO fun?? there's been so many insane concepts including lie detector that's secretly controlled by the contestants' significant others, selling useless shit like a keyboard that only has the letter p or a rubik's cube that's all green, murder mystery that's somehow both fictional and real at the same time (it's. really hard to explain this one it was really just to troll one specific contestant, a lot of episodes are made with specific people in mind since these people have worked together for a very long time), escape room but it's just locking these three people in a room and also there's some insane lore around it that people still make conspiracy theories about, an actual time loop and of course the multiple survivor parodies and the one batchelor parody (it's very bisexual). i could honestly rant about game changer forever. it really has that appeal of being able to get to know the contestants (a majority of whom are former collegehumor employees who appear in many episodes across all dropout shows) and that they're all professional comedians who know each other and the host very well. it has fun cozy vibes except when it actively breaks my mind (looking at you deja vu).

there are three shows that were spun off from game changer: make some noise, which is prompt based improv (sidenote, my icon and url are both referencing this show, specifically the original trio this series started with back when it was in game changer. the noise boys refer to Josh, Zac and Brennan who after doing four episodes of this game within game changer are also the contestants in every make some noise season premiere and finale), dirty laundry which is kind of based never have i ever as a game show and also Grant O'Brien is there as a bartender (Grant O'Brien is the tall bisexual theatre nerd i post quite a lot about), and play it by ear in which they improvise entire musicals, which i still haven't watched and I'm fully aware of how out of character that is for me. however i do really love the original game changer episode play it by ear is based on.

so.... here's the thing. i kind of lied. i said game changer is the first dropout show i got into but um, actually, i was into a dropout show before i really knew what dropout is. Um, actually is a game show where the host (originally Mike Trapp, now Ify Nwadiwe) says incorrect statements mostly about nerdy media which the contestants have to correct, but they have to start their corrections with the phrase "um, actually" or they don't get the point. they made two musical theatre themed episodes that i found back in 2022? i think? that were on youtube and then i got into Howard the duck which got me kind of into marvel comics which are referenced in a lot of episodes leading me to watching quite a lot of the episodes that were up on youtube (i think out of all dropout shows this one might have the most free on youtube content) and then i kind of forgot about it until this year's april when i started properly getting into dropout.

however the most popular and longest dropout show is dimension 20, which is a dungeons & dragons actual play. almost every season is a new setting and there's been a lot of different players though there is a main cast known as the intrepid heroes (Zac Oyama, Lou Wilson, Ally Beardsley, Siobhan Thompson, Emily Axford and Brian Murphy + Brennan Lee Mulligan as the dm). the first season that then got two continuations is fantasy high which is set in a more modern dnd setting but with the same fantasy races as the original game but there's been a lot of seasons that completely break away from all traditional dnd elements (some of them aren't actually dnd at all but different game systems) like the one I'm watching right now is a murder mystery with anthropomorphic animals.

there's sooo many more dropout shows i could talk about but this rant is already getting way too long. i love so many things about dropout. they make so much original, fresh content that no one else is making. there's so much diversity in such a natural way (to me especially seeing Ally Beardsley's transition is very special) and it's generally extremely progressive and ethical. idk what else to say, watching dropout makes me very happy, I'm very hyeprfixated on it, it's my main comfort thing right now and i can't recommend it enough (there's a bunch of stuff on youtube for free already but also imo it's absolutely worth 6 dollars a month)

I'm sorry for how long that rant turned out unfortunately i am very unnormal

A TUMBLR STORY: TORN PAGE (p.4)

“Oh, what a strange feeling…”

“Who’s who? I’m confused…”

“Shhh, it’s starting!”

That…idiot.

***

The Dawn of Elves had come. After Dragonfall, the central plains of our realm became home to its most advanced species, and with them, Therania’s heart took shape. Buildings that aimed for stars scratched the vast sky with their high ceilings, one after another raising where once only dust laid upon soil. Beautiful lakes – brought back to life from earthen bowels – flowed through dug rivers of worldly design. Walls mimicked mountains, guarding our peace; between them, new machines were seen by the occasional eye, tested in speed as they slid over silver lanes. Foes where no more, big spikes brought from the core as the last remnants of the past catastrophe. Finally, there was peace, few left of those that still remembered darker days.

Celest was capital to the new empire. Built on top of the Sarhan Endho Rhanae (Cliffs at the End of Mind), no other place was worth such title. Our last bastion, it served to our ancestors as guidance, one hope above clouds of vaporising blood. Now, with no weapons in our young hands, it brought us ink and paper, calling for new battles. From darkness, it made light; as warriors surrendered their posts, scholars took over to ensure elven survival.

You were there, first to enter the renewed academy. Your generation had a heavy burden on their shoulders – the duty to restore what elves knew, know, and could know for what was to come in centuries ahead. Your skins, at last, would be the ones to mimic paper – not scales nor dirt, but words tattooed in a display of knowledge. Some teachers were there, few of them, however, able to impart what was preserved within sealed archives. You were free, your learning limited solely by your finger’s reach.

Born to a good family, you weren’t meant to pursue this profession – you were expected to stay home and help rebuild your city’s glorious landscape. However, you were curious by nature, and impatient, too. Drawing within the peace of a bright studio was never your intent. So, after years of careful preparation, and months spent softening your parents’ hearts, you finally were given enough resources to reach Celest satiated and well-rested, ready to undertake the difficult exam. You passed it – quite easily, if you may humbly add. Eyes burning like two torches, you quickly started lightening up the shadows of what chaos buried, writing down all what could be useful to your nation’s benefit.

Yes, that was you – a bright student from Celest’s Academy, part of the generation destined to glorious deeds. No fate nor prophecies loomed over your future, all outcomes open to explore and to fulfil. You could create, you could shape what was to come – there was the world within your palms.

Then, there was Ashna.

You remember well when you first met. It was in one of the Academy’s old gardens, uncleaned from rubble left there from a broken wall. Beautiful trees of unknown species managed to survive among plagues of parasitic ivy, roots deeply buried into uncared soil. You liked to go there, for there was no one to disturb you – silence was always your good friend. Yet one day, under your favourite branch, another figure met your eyes, submerged into deep reading.

How odd, you thought.

This elf never was so patient.

“Agh!”

Despite your early guess, the creature’s sudden grumble still made you jump, your heart skipping a beat. All concentration gone, the student’s eyes burned with resentment against the wise pages, ready to tear them with long, sharpened nails. You’ve never seen such nails before, not among your peers – those were a sign of troublemakers.

“Careful,” you intervened, for you couldn’t stand seeing treasures fall to someone’s childish rage. “This is a valuable resource; you shouldn’t treat it this carelessly.”

A pair of beautiful, shining eyes met yours in tones of early morning. Their outline resembled the softest sunset, light trapped within the iris as small, twinkling stars. A darker pink surrounded the pupil, as clouds dyed by the leaving day greeted the comfort of night’s darkness. Nothing about them spoke of anger anymore – they seemed surprised, then, shifting into happy twilight.

“Sorry,” as the elf spoke, a smile grew upon thin, cherry lips. “I got too excited.”

“Frustration would be more correct, I’d say,” you pointed out. The dictionary wasn’t written to be misused, after all.

“Perhaps,” even after your harsh correction, all what they did was laugh. “Reading old dragon runes can get distressing.”

“Well, you aren’t wrong…” as mumbled words left your mouth, you got closer. You must admit that even you, sometimes, got nervous over tedious reading: the dragon tongue was made for creatures who had years to waste.

“Ah, thank you! The last professor I’ve spoken about this told me that I was simply too superficial to understand their magnanimity.”

Leaning against the tree’s wide trunk, the elf in front of you was more cheerful than any other student at this time of year. You found it odd. Students weren’t meant to be relaxed at all.

“You spoke to Professor Ahrari. She was a military translator back in her days.”

You thought yourself to be quite friendly – your colleagues respected you, your teachers enjoyed a deep conversation in your presence. You weren’t one to simply talk, however: you liked to spend your time in search than in stagnation. And yet, although this dialogue was void of any meaning or practicality, it flowed as silk between a tailor’s fingers.  

“Really?! That explains her scars! She’s amazing – although a bit grumpy.”

Tilting your head, you sat, too, in the shadow of another sapling. War was over – yet, it was a first to meet someone so distanced from its echo.

“She lived a lot.”

“Lived through a lot would be more correct, I’d say,” a cheeky wink accompanied their burlesque tone.

You looked at them.

Our crowning glory

-

He got down on one knee/But I said "No way!"

When Catherine sang, she didn't see him. She saw herself as a young woman, fresh out of Durham House and hurling into the arms of Henry VIII.

Packed my bags/And moved into a Nu-nu-nunnery!

She should have known right then and there that her new husband wouldn't, couldn't, love her the way he should've. She should've known right then and there that the convent would've been kinder to her than the castle.

Joined the gospel choir/Our riffs were on fire

When she sang, she gave herself something new, something she deserved. She never wanted a divorce. She only wanted to live in a way worthy of her station and to raise her daughter well.

At the top of the charts/Is where I'm gonna stay

When she sang, she sang for salvation.

-

Henry sent me a poem/All about my green sleeves

When Anne sang, the guilt and heartache washed off her in waves. She stopped seeing her own head in a basket and felt hope take its place, bright and burning in her heart.

I changed a couple words/Put it on a sick beat

She wished she could give her younger self the knowledge she had now, that a life with Henry, however brief, would not make her happy. She only hoped that her daughter learned that before she did.

The song blew their minds/Next minute I was signed

When she sang, she gave herself a do over, separate from her past mistakes. She denied Henry a place in her heart and instead took her life in her own hands.

And now I'm writing lyrics/For Shakesy P

When she sang, she sang for freedom.

-

Since my first son/Our family's grown

When Jane sang, she saw her infant son, tiny and screaming in her arms. Her son, who she only got to know for 12 days before her death.

We made a band/And got quite well known

She reached out a hand to cup his chin, suddenly seeing her little baby as a young man. She savored that face, the one sitting under nearly 3 pounds of sparkling gems. This was what she had wanted with Henry, and this was what she had been denied.

You could perhaps call us/The Tudor Von Trapps

When she sang, she gave herself a family and the strength to know that she was the best she could have been. No matter when she died, she did her damn best, and she couldn’t ask anything more of herself. 

I'm just kidding/We're called the Royalling Stones

When she sang, she sang for the life she should've had.

-

What a shame/Yeah, my face/It cost me the crown

When Anna sang, she saw that stupid portrait, the one responsible for her life trajectory since that idiot king looked at it and saw a pretty, docile young girl. Sure, it made her look beautiful, but what good was beauty in this world?

So I moved to the/Haus Of Holbein!/In my hometown

In her mind's eye, she slashed through the pretty canvas with her finger nails and turned to Henry, pointer finger accusatory and dripping malice. She never should have gotten on that boat to England, and she probably wouldn’t have if she’d been given the choice to not. 

His mates were super arty/But I showed them how to party

When she sang, she put herself right back in Germany where she wanted to be all along. She would never deny that her life post crown was fabulous and resplendent, but she didn't need that. She needed passion, and something to care about, though that palace in Richmond was pretty damn great.

Now on my tour of Prussia/Everybody "Gets down"

When she sang, she sang for independence.

-

Music man tried it on/And I was like "Bye!"

When Katherine sang, she saw her 12 year old self, eyes still big and naive to the ways of the world. Even now, she was sad to admit those same eyes were drawn to the abject beauty of that child, the beauty that would cause her immense grief before her 20th birthday.

So I thought "Who needs him?/I can give it a try"

Now, she raged against the adults that had allowed that little girl to be abused so horribly for so long and then told her it was her own fault. She screamed and cried and tried to live her life on her own terms now that she had that choice.

I learned everything

When she sang, she stopped the grief before it could start. She may not have been able to change her own past, but she could damn well give that little girl something to live for.

Now all I do is sing/And I'll do that until I die

When she sang, she sang for the little girl she should've been.

-

Heard all about these rockin' chicks

When Catherine sang, she saw herself at the altar of all four of her husbands, and she felt the combined dread of each day she was forced to be tied to men who didn't deserve her.

Loved every song/And each remix

She was a published author, for god's sake, but a young, eligible woman such as herself couldn't exist for long without being snatched up by inferior men with more power than her lest she be cast from society.

So I went out and found them/And we laid down an album

When she sang, she gave herself the dignity and independence she earned through hard work. All she ever wanted was to write and maybe make life easier for the women who came after her because no one should have to go through what she and the other five queens went through.

Now "I don't need your love"/All I need is SIX!

When she sang, she sang for the love of herself.

Contributor Bio:Rayborn, Tim Tim Rayborn has written a large number of books and magazine articles, especially in subjects such as music, the arts, general knowledge, and history. He lived in England for many years and studied at the University of Leeds, which means he likes to pretend that he knows what he's talking about. He's an almost-famous musician who plays dozens of unusual instruments from all over the world that most people have never heard of and usually can't pronounce. He has appeared on more than forty recordings, and his musical wanderings and tours have taken him across the US, all over Europe, to Canada and Australia, and to such romantic locations as Umbria, Marrakech, Renaissance chateaux, medieval churches, and high school gymnasiums. He currently lives in Northern California with many books, recordings, and instruments, and a sometimes-demanding cat. He's pretty enthusiastic about good wines and cooking excellent food. www.timrayborn.com
