#poll analysis

Alright, results time. This really is a survey instead of a poll, so it's a bit different.

I am... a little bit distracted right now, so I'm not sure how good this analysis is going to be that being said, but here we go.

Weaknesses:

Trollable poll

Human/pokemon/hybrid/etc not rigidly defined

Technically there is overlap between non-terran sapient and other categories

Neat, got two AIs/robots following me.

Regardless, yup, plurality humans. HOWEVER, not majority. Which I guess is a bit more likely due to the fact I'm not human

The number of those not from earth is slightly interesting that being said.

This one finished up, where asked you how your culture classified humans and pokemon when it comes to the labels "animal" and "pokemon". These labels were not defined in the poll, deliberately so, as that was what was being checked in the poll.

For the record, here both humans and pokemon in general are animals, though there are some pokemon that arguably aren't animals due to lack of clear descent. Also, porygon.

Humans are not considered/classified pokemon here.

Anyways, weaknesses:

Didn't define human

Rotomblr clause

Sample size

And with that, the data:

Interestingly enough, both being pokemon but neither being animals was the most voted option. This is wild to me personally, but hey, multiverse.

The second most voted option is WILDER to me in some ways. Humans neither, pokemon pokemon only. What's your basal classification then? The both pokemon at least makes a consistent sense of treating it as the base category.

Third most common option is one that aligns with my universe, so I am not surprised at number of that, though bit confused why it's not higher. But hey, multiverse as said.

I am curious what the ones with zero overlap have as base classification as said. That'd be interesting to know.

Regardless, thanks for participating, I would do more analysis, but I am weirdly a bit sleepy. Well, not weirdly, been doing a lot of practice.

Alright, this poll finished up. I was asking about the demographics of your universe with regards to sapient pokemon.

Weaknesses first as always

Did not define sapient

Assumes that population numbers decently well known

Depending on your definition, poll proctor is a sapient pokemon, which may skew things

Known to be up for debate if even possible in some universes

Some category lumping due to number of available slots

Log-like scale used flattens nuance potentially

Sample size

Rotomblr clause

And now the data:

Alright, first off, if the answer is "yes, there are a significant amount", you should know the rough amount at least. Like, this is just a good thing to know to due to various false... things... some might say to provoke or advocate for specific policies. Go look that up.

This also includes looking up the rough idea of cultural stuff too. You should know that at the level asking question.

For those of you who do have a rough idea... yeah, not surprised diversity is the most common, followed by subsumation to a human majority culture without notable subculture. That's roughly how minority human ethnicities work in human cultures.

The scattered results of anything more than individual exceptions or not knowing details in first poll unfortunately is hard to analyze due to the low number of data points. Very unfortunate.

Alright, this poll on if you can walk in heels finished up. Walking in heels was defined as:

knowing how to walk in high heels in this case would be: at least able to go an entire one hour social event that would involve at least walking around a room on occasion in them. Heel height at least 1"/2.54cm.

Which, I know, is very low heel height for this, but I was trying to get broad pass, and that's generally the low end of what might be labeled as high heels in a shoe store.

I also used TME/TMA as a proxy for gender identity, since I didn't really have the poll slots to do more proper breakout of all the general categories that I wanted to do. Yes, I know, TME/TMA is about power relations, etc, but, again, proxy.

Also of note is that I included "other" in the TME/TMA selection category due to the fact we've got some on here that are not as embedded in a culture with the same or similar notions of gender nor enforcement of them. Generally speaking, if you're in a culture similar to mine, you probably shouldn't be in "other". Definitely not if you're a human (or closely adjacent in terms of social categorization such as if hybrids are generally treated as human where you are).

Anyways, poll limitations:

Had to use TME/TMA as a proxy for gender identity

"Other" option in terms of TME/TMA has misuse potential

Did not define TME/TMA in poll post

No controlling for age

No controlling for culture of origin

No controlling for socioeconomic status

Running poll on a blog run by a LGBT individual who is non-human is going to skew respondent population

Poll size

Rotomblr clause

And with that... the data!

Interestingly the split between can and cannot use heels is pretty close to being even, though leaning in favor of cannot walk in and use heels, even for comparatively low ones.

Also interestingly, 20.8% of those responding self identified as TMA. This is disproportionately high, as can be seen by the fact it's almost as much as cis women in results, but it's probably to be expected when I'm TMA myself. Hi girls, girl-things, and others, hope you're having a great day.

Barely any cis men responded, but then again I had more trans individuals respond than cis ones. Fairly close split on cis vs trans there actually.

It looks like the spread in "no" was much more evenly spread across the categories provided, but that does speak to various social expectations, how those shape interests, ability to ignore said expectations, opportunity to learn, etc. Especially when you compare the results of TME vs TMA.

For the record: I can do this, in much higher heels actually, due to some stuff with my girlfriend, if it weren't for her, I'd be in the no category.

These words have religious meaning for at least some of you

I have publicly stated I consider myself bothDid not clarify which definitions were using (intentionally, so less weakness more... something to note)

Some consider one to be a subset of the other, meaning both option potentially capturing multiple ways could consider both

Ran alongside a poll asking what you consider me to be

Several deliberately vague options

Sample size

Rotomblr clause

And with that, the data:

This one is a bit more interesting, and I'm not sure what's driving it. There some clear differences going on, but, again, I have no clue what the cause is.

Foe the record, these don't have power connotations to me. I might be both, but like... you know.

In any case, I'm curious about the it depending. That one, equal, or mixed is what I expected to win honestly. The fact mixed got nothing is confusing to me, but I guess it might be unclear and the "it depends" vacuumed up the votes.

Alright, this one finished up, and rotomblr decided to unfuck its poll display. That was damn bizarre glitch had on there.

That said, this poll was about the attractiveness of my OC @457-r4-1701, the robotdragongirl.

That said, some weaknesses of the poll first

It's about the poll administrator's OC, which may skew things

Pretty sure my followers skew pretty heavily towards the sapphic ends of things in terms of demographics

I AM openly using it as a means to explore some stuff that might be awkward or uncomfortable to some

Not too much of it's personality has been shown off here

Not much of it's history/background/etc has been shown off here

Rotomblr Clause

Sample size

Alright, we got a lot of you that say it's a 10, which gotta say, excellent taste of you. The largest position as well, even if it's nowhere near a majority.

That said, there's also a distinct other group of respondents that are centered around ~8, which is interesting. We've got roughly 3 major groups that said are into woman/adjacent/etc, the bottom tier (baffling taste I must say), centered around 8, and the 10s.

I wonder how many voting 1 were those into robots who were annoyed didn't have as much exposed chassis or something.

In any case, still brainfogged, so my analysis won't be all that deep and I'm cutting it here.

Alright, this finished up. Listen, I'm currently distracted by my girlfriend, so I'm going to keep this brief

Weaknesses:

Poll runner is a mythical/legendary which could skew data

Poll runner is a former human which could skew data

Potentially religious meaning to Mythical/Legendary to some

Rotomblr clause

Sample size

And with that, the data

Bimodal distribution it seems. That said, being one kicks ass.

I made a poll about which Mysticon people would want to hang out with. Here are the results.

Most people (38.5%) chose Em. To be honest, I chose Em to. I feel we have a lot in common, as we both like science and animals. She's also kind.

The second most popular Mysticon to hang out with was Zarya (30.8%). She's a fan favourite, so it makes sense to me that she was near the top. In fact, when I made the poll, I guessed that she would be first place. However, I can find her a bit harsh at times, so since I didn't pick her as my first choice, so I can see why others didn't. Plus, Zarya would have no issues breaking minor rules (e.g. sneaking into a closed off area), where I wouldn't like that.

Arkayna and Piper were tied for third place (15.4% each). I'm not surprised that Piper is lower on the list, as she's not a fan favourite character, but I am surprised that Arkayna is. For me, Piper has a lot of energy, which depending on my mood, may be a lot to handle. For Arkayna, I simply don't know what we'd talk about, as we don't have many shared interest.

What surprised me, and I've touched on this earlier in the post, is that who people would hang out with isn't the favourite characters. Arkayna and Zarya are favourite characters and featured more on merchandise, but it was Em who people would want to hang out with. I know in my experience, my favourite character to watch isn't the character I'd want to hang out with.
