If you keep reading, the person who designed this site announces herself as a lesbian, so I guess it's an identity at the forefront of her mind.
Nonetheless, yes, when she puts a line like that above the fold, one can't help but assume what she's really going for here is HyperCard stacks specifically relevant to the LGBT experience (what a weird sentence to type this morning). A niche audience within a niche audience. But I guess that's something the internet is great at serving.
- pavlov 9y ago... one can't help but assume what she's really going for here is HyperCard stacks specifically relevant to the LGBT experience Why assume? It says so right there on the page: "I'm especially interested in seeing work from LGBT people, POC, and other marginalized groups, but everyone is welcome to submit a stack!" I don't really understand why this would upset anyone. Curated compilations are common in every medium. Of course the curator will prefer to choose content that has a common theme.
- Cyberdog 9y agoI don't think anyone's particularly upset about this. Nonetheless, even broadening the scope to all "marginalized groups," how many HyperCard stacks relating to that will she actually end up getting? I think this truly will be slim pickings.
