As someone who's active (to some degree) almost exclusively in gaming and anime/manga fandoms, I can agree with so much in this comment. (So, thank you for making it, gamera!) I want to be enthusiastic about the org and the AO3 but it's hard to feel welcome (and enthusiastic about participating) right now. I'm cautiously optimistic and appreciate that you're speaking out about this so eloquently, Ira, (Really, thank you! <3) but even as someone who grew up with Star Trek and loves it to this day (even if I'm not fannish about it) I look at the list of server names and find it incredibly disheartening. Not so much because of the names/the results of this particular poll but because it is, as you said, part of a bigger problem, a bigger feel of "You can play here if you really want but this place is for other fannish spaces than yours first and foremost."

To be honest, the main reason why I haven't given up on the org for the time being are posts like yours here and the fact that I have a few friends from my corners of fandom who are actively working for a more fannishly diverse OTW space.
