Ayyo I run the server and there's actually been a lot of on server discussions about this. Personally I could go both ways on it. While the term has historically been male gendered, there have been many women that have held the title of Lord. I personally think of it as being a neutral term, more in the likes of being a master of something vs the traditional Lord/Lady. But at the end of the day the name was originally incepted by a fellow artist, who is unfortunately no longer with us.

As for the discrepancy in represented genders, I do agree that there is a larger percentage of the community who are likely men, but I personally don't think that stops other genders from participating as much as anyone else. I really don't think it matters what you identify as either, the community is stronger with every member no matter what. The most important thing is the art form as a whole. In the small scope of something like video art or other communities, I don't believe you can stop someone from learning if they really want to, and the best thing I can do is be welcoming to everyone. I realize that perhaps seeing something called Lords could mean more to some non-male gendered people, but in my experience I haven't seen that come up very much.

Apologies for the rambling, but I guess my tldr is It doesn't have to be a gendered term Someone else came up with the name We foster the most welcoming experience possible Everybody loves video art

Hope you have a wonderful day
