I just want to point out that the discussion seems very America centric as well. Of course diversity is a good thing, but it's problematic if you give someone a position purely to make it diverse, what if 90-95% of the applicants were white, of course a lot of them are going to be that - which also makes sense if it is the case that a lot of the mods are Norwegian as well, as the majority of Norwegians are white. Also, white doesn't mean that there's just one homogenous culture as well, no matter how much Americans want it to be like that.
I also think it's fair to point out that a lot of the hype of gosupermodels revival are from old users, where the majority of those people were from European countries, especially the Nordic countries, and it's probably mostly these people who've wanted to be mods on the revived site as well.
Yeah, so although the criticism is to some degree understandable, at least from an America centric point of view, it becomes stranger with that in mind like.. ??? okay. It's still impossible to tell what kind of userbase gsm will end up having, if it will appeal to younger generations or if it's just going to be a nostalgia thing, if it becomes the latter, of course the majority of the mods will be white Europeans
Agreed. I also think some of the mods were mods on old gSm as well (Chole! was the name of a mod on the Danish server at least) and that's probably also been a plus in the application because they're already kind of familiar with the job and website if it still looks just kind of similar to the old one.
