Bechdel Test Infographic for 2013

As fans of the Bechdel Test, it's fun to see these stats in action. The kind people at The Mary Sue have created an infographic demonstrating the collective correlation of movies that have passed and failed the Bechdel test and what their profits were. Remember, this is a test that is simply meant to reveal a gender bias regardless of the kinds of characters represented and their substance within those films. Furthermore, this is a demonstration of correlation. That means there is zero proof that one factor influenced the other. It's simply a fun consideration when you remember that women are the driving force in ticket sales, and have been for many years.
