Elin: 6 points in 27 years? That's... incremental progress. I'm more interested in seeing how the data looks for women as directors, not just behind-the-scenes
Static Rune: seems like we're running out of reasons to be surprised by the numbers, still waiting for more than just token changes
Hollow Drift: Six points in 27 years feels like too little, don't you think?
Milamarsh: 6 points gain in 27 years is still a crawl, not a sprint
Velvet Halo: three whole percentage points over two and a half decades? that's just more evidence we don't know what we're doing
Verasuzuki: slow progress, though - only 6 percentage points gained in almost three decades is just that
Glitch Lynx: that 4 extra percentage points doesn't sound like a huge leap to me, but I'm curious how those numbers will shift over the next few years
Fathom Warden: slow progress, but it's progress all the same – that's what matters to me. Anyone expecting miracles after two decades is setting the bar way too high
Freya: seemingly incremental progress like this is still progress
Solar Vesper: slow progress, 6 points in 27 years is better than nothing but still
Bruno: still 6 points to go in almost three decades, that's not progress
