FOR A GAY UNIVERSE!

2018-08-01 21:02:59 UTC  

isn't this enough against your argument?

2018-08-01 21:03:11 UTC  

no, because this is not the entire internet

2018-08-01 21:03:16 UTC  

your GF

2018-08-01 21:03:28 UTC  

your GF obviously would be more into female circles

2018-08-01 21:03:32 UTC  

exactly

2018-08-01 21:03:36 UTC  

but she is on the internet

2018-08-01 21:03:37 UTC  

I don't think anyone denies that there are plenty of women on facebook for example which is part of 'the internet'

2018-08-01 21:03:42 UTC  

which is part of my point

2018-08-01 21:03:50 UTC  

males tend to female circles too though

2018-08-01 21:03:59 UTC  

😏

2018-08-01 21:04:31 UTC  

i think males underestimate the number of females inhabiting the internet, often along side them. I.E. here on discord.

2018-08-01 21:04:41 UTC  

or in videogames

2018-08-01 21:05:37 UTC  

you might encounter MMO players who have encounter few females, then take them to a part of the game they don't care about, and suddenly they are surrounded with more females than they though even played the game.

2018-08-01 21:06:52 UTC  

"you know, tumblr seems to be overwhelmingly female. this post seems to claim 4chan is pretty equal in its gender distribution, social media seems to primarily attract more females than males. I'm beginning to think that the internet, at least by todays standards, is fulled with may more female influence than people care to admit"

was my original statement

2018-08-01 21:06:58 UTC  

waaay back up there

2018-08-01 21:07:56 UTC  

OK, but you're assuming you know what other males think about the amount of women on the internet. You claimed you thought there would be 0 women here, so is it possible you're overestimating what the average male thinks based on what you previously thought?

2018-08-01 21:10:29 UTC  

Good luck CP Dick

2018-08-01 21:11:58 UTC  

but 4chan is nowhere near 50/50

2018-08-01 21:12:08 UTC  

thats exactly what triggered this all

2018-08-01 21:12:20 UTC  

females dont like anonymous communities

2018-08-01 21:12:44 UTC  

From the data I've seen in the past it's much closer to it than sites like reddit, but then who knows how reliable the data is on 4chan of all places

2018-08-01 21:13:00 UTC  

your statement about women on the internet reminds me of the gamers statement
"more than 50% for gamers are women"

2018-08-01 21:13:34 UTC  

it is true, if you account for mobile games and disregard the amount of hours played, and ignore that most "games" women play, aren't really games

2018-08-01 21:14:05 UTC  

@Schedrevka let's put it this way, everywhere I've been on the internet, the running joke is that there is no women. Only men and men pretending to be women. Technically I can't say for sure most men think that. But given that even here, the running default for any user is for them to be male. So I have rarely encountered a situation where that wasn't the case. Well, until tumblr. Then the default was female or mental disorder.

2018-08-01 21:14:59 UTC  

Yeah, it's a joke based on the higher male population of many sites. That doesn't mean it accurately represents what the users of those sites *actually* think.

2018-08-01 21:15:34 UTC  

But it's what you think

2018-08-01 21:15:36 UTC  

just like when someone robs your bike, you assume he was black 😏

2018-08-01 21:15:41 UTC  

You just confirmed it

2018-08-01 21:15:42 UTC  

As for video games here's a much better study than all the ones with the issues Belial noted: https://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/

2018-08-01 21:15:47 UTC  

it isn't always the case, but you are statistically correct

2018-08-01 21:16:32 UTC  

hmm interesssshhhting

2018-08-01 21:16:54 UTC  

i mean, here as an example, isnt completely devoid of women! id ont think

2018-08-01 21:16:56 UTC  

The problem is the statement you're saying requires three things: 1. we need to know what people mean when they say 'there's no women on the internet' 2. we need to know how closely that fits the data 3. we need to know how many people actually believe number 1

2018-08-01 21:17:08 UTC  

Also, 4chans nature makes it impossible to actually figure out it's users. And you'd have to frequent everything postwd to try and figure it out, and not risk missing segments of the site where females might gather that men don't, on average.

2018-08-01 21:17:29 UTC  

If 10% of men on the internet actually believe that and are wrong that doesn't mean most men are wrong.

2018-08-01 21:17:33 UTC  

XD yeah youll probably become autistic just combing thru that data XD

2018-08-01 21:17:46 UTC  

Statistically correct is not a thing. It can be statistically likely but a fact is either correct or its not.

2018-08-01 21:18:05 UTC  

I thought this was a dogs only server

2018-08-01 21:18:20 UTC  

a fact? I said what you assume

2018-08-01 21:18:46 UTC  

what you assume is what you assume, the fact is irrelevant, it's unknown
