Dragon Magazine Cover Stats
March 22, 2007 2:20 pm
The Gametime LiveJournal has an excellent article on the gender iconography of Dragon magazine covers. It’s many pages long and has many charts. I particularly liked the page on submissive depictions by gender.
Shamelessly quoting the author’s findings:
# On Dragon covers, males are depicted more often than females (males in 69% of covers, females 49% of covers).
# Male figures on Dragon covers hardly ever (10%) wear suggestive attire, but female figures do so frequently (40%). When there is a figure in suggestive attire on Dragon a cover, it is highly likely (74%) to be female. These trends have been worsening over time.
# Most (67%) of the submissive figures on Dragon covers are female. This female majority has been getting larger over time.
# Most (68%) of the heroic avatar-friendly figures on Dragon covers are male. This male majority has been stable for a long time.
# Most (60%) of the men you see on Dragon covers are heroic (avatar-friendly) types; only a small minority (10%) appear in a submissive mode. In contrast, only a minority (38%) of women appear as heroes, and nearly as many (29%) appear as submissive figures. The male proportions have been stable over time, but the female proportions have been variable.
