[QUOTE="SmokeyCriminal, post: 7326111, member: 6876146"] Woah! I fully expected the White males to be in the 90%. But it's a lot lower, I was way off. I feel a little silly for my assumptions now. Hello to only about 75% of the people here, were you as pleasantly surprised as I was? POC males and Females I expected to be about similar, but I did assume there would be more POC males. How's it going to the POC males, are you as lowkey happy to be outnumbered by the Females as i am? :P Hi ladies, I hope your enjoying yourselves. The biggest shock to me is the amount of non-binary (I think Non-Binary is a more polite term then Other) people here. I thought there would be less then 1% honestly. It's nice to see it as high as 5% and on par with POC males and Females. What's up to all my non-binary and LGBTQIA+ people, I'm glad you're here. Actually since there is 5% that voted Other, maybe one of them could let us know if they think the term Non-binary is better or equal to Other, or if there is an even better term then those two, to represent someone that identifies as neither male or female? I know the poll isn't usable for anything more then just fun and curiosity. And I've noticed some people see it as just pointing out the lack of diversity or how far we still need to go, which I can understand. Someone pointed out that only 1 out of 10 people are female, But keep in mind that the way we grow is through small individual nudges. POC males nudge, the Non-binary nudge, the Women nudge, and next thing you know 1 out of every 4 Isn't a White male. To me, the fact that 1 out of 4 people here isn't a White male was a surprise, and seeing it in a poll gave me a little smile, and smiling is always nice. Also, I've noticed that sometimes I hesitate to post my opinions or I'll spend a long time thinking over what exactly I want to say, and how exactly I want to say it. I'm sure most of it comes from not being used to posting in forums in general, but [I]IF[/I] some of it is because a part of me, consciously or subconsciously, is worried about the White male demographic then maybe this poll will remove that anxiety or hesitation from me, or anyone else that might feel it. 3/4 is a lot more manageable then 9/10. Lastly, Usually the only times you really see the other groups in the poll peak their heads up is when a thread about sex/gender/race pops up and the thread is long, and heated, and going sideways. And in the middle of it all a post will sneak in and be all "I'm sex/gender/race" and they'll put themselves out there and speak their mind. And I love it. Those post are always so interesting, and brave, they are my favourite, and the reason I like this forum above others, and why I joined, and started posting. Just, thank you so much.
