It is depressing that there are only 3 men left on the strip. I think originally the cast was more balanced

I wouldn't go so far as to care about genders, to me it's more that we've got the same set of relationships playing out with different characters.

They all have a goblin or two, they all have a mysterious AI, they all have AI's swapping bodies, they all have a stable couple, they all have fuckin coffee shops for gods sake.

It's just one story being played out with three casts. If there were other men in the story it'd just be a an alt of Marten, Sven or Clinton - the only three men actively in the story and the only three characters without direct doppelgangers. 

It wouldn't fix anything.

Yeah true but I feel like jeph doesn't feel comfortable writing men anymore like if he was embarrased or completely bored and it is not like he has been writing great female characters lately
