No worries - I appreciate passion.

This is my point that no one here (except me) knows the actual dataset and many assumptions are being made. Multiclassing and homebrew subclasses are going to throw off any napkin math you all can do. If we entirely removed multiclass characters, for instance, does this actually still give us...

This data is presented as a high-level look at distribution of race, class, and subclass selection for active characters on D&D Beyond. It serves that purpose just fine. It could certainly "confuse" or "amuse" those who want to read too much into it or think it is trying to achieve a different...

The chart adds up to 100% (of course all circle charts do) - there just isn't labeling for the remaining percentages because there was no room for them to exist and still be legible.

Again, very assertive for someone that does not have the complete picture of the data. For instance, I have not mentioned anything about multiclassing, which impacts this greatly. Taking the barbarian class for a couple of levels is actually very popular for multiclass characters, and those...

Yes...it is? I guess this will be my last attempt to explain, this time with a question - do you see any single other cleric domain in the list on that chart? No being the answer, the reason is such a high percentage of clerics choose Life Domain that the total of that subset is higher than...

I'm not going to have time to deep dive an explanation on this, but you're not thinking of the data sets how they should be considered. Taking an incredibly simple example, let's go with the entire population is 100 and it is composed of only Fighters and Clerics. There are 70 fighters and 30...

No, but it is possible to have a higher percentage in a separate data sample that removes characters that have not reached a level appropriate to choose a subclass, which is what has happened here. This data is intended to provide a broad view into relative popularity between all other...

Not so. Out of users that have unlocked the entire PHB, we still see the non-variant human selected more or less as frequently as variant. I posit this could mean a smaller percentage of the playerbase is concerned with mechanical "optimization" than those of us that comment on internet threads...
