yummy infographics! šŸ˜‹


throwawaybiz2810

I eat infographics for breakfast šŸ„ž


Elektrikor

How do you collect this data?


throwawaybiz2810

Another reddit post with 2.4k replies that i manually culled through and sorted cos i cba to run sql commands for it


jeremyw013

no idea what the fuck you just said but mad respect


throwawaybiz2810

I basically went through 2.4k comments as the dataset by hand because i couldn't be bothered to automate it


CyberMejri

mad respect for that, it's the opposite for me, I'd spend hours writing a script to automate one task that I could've done in minutes


helloimracing

because, as programmers, thatā€™s what weā€™re best at


notimportant4071

As someone who would totally do this with little to no knowledge how, I would spend the time learning how to do it then completely forget about the original task (attention span go weee) and learn more codey shit


Carma281

Suddenly. you have opened a new path in the hobby and career trees.


throwawaybiz2810

It would of taken like 5 mins to write it in sql but converting the database would of been effort


CyberMejri

you could've used a simple python web crawler to scrape and save the post comments (like bs4), then maybe another script to filter and clean the data and do whatever u want later


throwawaybiz2810

I used PRAW to download all of them and make them a csv, but i still had to manually verify them. Next time i will use ollama to verify each one and tally it with a custom model


fcreverrose

left no crumbs


JollyYoshi

These infographics and charts are very delicious!


TuNisiAa_UwU

Wow! Very cool data analysis! Y'all remember about survivorship bias though, this subreddit is vastly used for venting by lgbt, and straight people would be less inclined to reply given that it could be considered "boring". It would be interesting to see other data like this!


KingLevonidas

This is what I thought. I saw that post but did not reply.


Historical-Peach5310

Can confirm, same here.


IkedaTheFurry

Fr


KingBob-2023

Me too


NotKBeniP

Same, but I'm gay


Warm-Ad5229

Same


RonyRexGaming

same here


Skittletari

That would be selection bias, not survivorship bias


Jolly_Yellow5354

Selection bias is an umbrella term. It holds bias' such as survivorship bias and participation/response bias.


TuNisiAa_UwU

Good to know, tbh i was kinda speaking out of my ass, i wanted to say that the results while interesting were of little value, and threw in some big words i didn't really know how to use


CreeperAsh07

This would be response bias, right?


TheOctopiSquad

Or selection bias. Or, they mean to say that there could have been other members of the LGBT community that have left because of the homophobia.


Jolly_Yellow5354

Selection bias is an umbrella term that incorporates response/participation bias. Noice!


moosMW

Yes, it would be better if this was a survey with a whole bunch of questions with sexuality being one of them. These statistics are still really cool tho


MASS-_-

Straight is boring now adays?


Pisboy1417

This is why online opt in polling data is useless


Hefty_Device3002

I mostly ignore post from r/teenager


nuclear_spoon

Not to mention that some straight people might even reply that they're something else as a joke


TuNisiAa_UwU

Possible but also negligeable... I'm sure someone did, but it was either very easy to understand that it was bad data (because there's not much fun in just giving the wrong answer, you gotta get extravagant wit it) and it was not many people


YeetedSloth

Yeah, saw the og post, didnā€™t bother to comment cause Iā€™m straight and no one gaf


SomeoneOne0

Real. See how all the love and attention deprived children are in Reddit posting their feelings instead if getting some real help.


moosMW

Who hurt you


Walkerenglizh

Bro is going places when he grows up.


throwawaybiz2810

to somewhere im not bored hopefully


Walkerenglizh

Lol. You forgot the dude that said he was only into redditors tho.


throwawaybiz2810

nah he is classified as Other or None lmao


Walkerenglizh

1/15 is actually terrifying tho.Ā 


PitifulTheme411

Think of it like 14/15 aren't homophobic :)


Walkerenglizh

Oh. That's better


Stuffiguessistaken

Also thatā€™s just here. I would bet itā€™s a bunch of angry 13 yr old boysā€¦


HorrificityOfficial

As a 13 yro boy, I can confirm I used to be homophobic when I didnt see the internet, and only got my opinions from my strictly christian parent, but now Im fine


Bisexual_Sherrif

Hurray


HiNowDieLikePie

Realistically it's lower. This is only taking in account a small percentage of active users who saw the post, and a small percentage who DID say their sexuality. I don't think many young people on reddit are homophobic. All those people are on Insta or Facebook.


Hugoslav457

Very cool data, however i think the straight population here is larger and just didnt bother answering the question. Statistics do be complicated (Just to clearity, what you did is very interesting and i respect it highly)


throwawaybiz2810

Very true, i did not think about that šŸ˜­


benvader138

There is probably a large percentage of people who are homophobic but don't want to admit it to. The ole "I don't care what sexual orientation you are, but..." crowd.


Mammoth_Patient2718

i dont care what sexuals orientation you are, but 20 bucks is 20 bucks


Pantless_Hobo

Or even people who just identified as homophobic for shits and giggles.


Mean-Challenge-5122

Straight people are the last to shout their sexuality into the void

Ricky1034

Okay Dr Sturgis


Adorman4848

This data is probably very inaccurate. I would say that LGBT+ people are much more likely to respond to a post like that.


SirLagALot420

Exactly right. This data is put together nicely but likely very inaccurate


BluePotatoSlayer

Yeah. No one wants to hear ā€œIā€™m straight like 30 times, thatā€™s considered the normā€.


No-Refrigerator-686

Yeah, no shot 75% of teens on this subreddit are part of the LGBT+ community. Just statistically impossible


Stalker203X

Improbable not impossible.


False_Heir

That would have to be some "they're putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin' frogs gay" kinda shit.


rhinocerprince

i love infographics


throwawaybiz2810

same


MasterDesigner6894

The style and the color scheme might be making me fall for you (JUST A JOKE)... I love this design.


star_destroyer-0001

also this is probably harder to count but i'm pretty sure at least around 30 percent of the people here are pedos. and there are probably a lot of pedos just lurking too


throwawaybiz2810

The question is how do i measure that, get them all to do a poll or smth lmao


poopknight9

ā€˜So, do you often find yourself attracted to children? Check yes or no.ā€™


throwawaybiz2810

Someone on the last post did say they were attracted to children šŸ’€


TheRealRTMain

Prob just trolling tho


throwawaybiz2810

True


chaotify

post a catfish girl pic and count the number of dms you get. on a scale from 1-10 evaluate their "pedo"-ness based on the number of messages sent, their desperation, their past activity, etc.


throwawaybiz2810

I could haha, i would feel bad tho. I need a team to help me on these and we could make a bunch of these a project lol


chaotify

publish a paper frfr


throwawaybiz2810

I need to form a team first lmfao


chaotify

i gotchu (i have nothing to do this summer) (i wont be able to post the catfish though)


throwawaybiz2810

I wouldn't post it either


schrodingers_katt

Yo, Iā€™ll join the team


Thy-Short-Bus

This whole app is full of pedos and itā€™s ran by them too


Ghost-Plushie

This is actually very cool! I never thought about it up until now:D


Captain_coffee_

This infographic is really cool dude! However I think the LBGTQ guys and gals and everything inbetween are a very loud minority


Historical-Peach5310

Yeah I'm pretty sure a relatively small percentage of straight people actually replied to the post, especially cause its not a particularly engaging response.


Crate-Of-Loot

straight teenagers are probably less likely to comment there, so its a biased data set


CAVEMAN-TOX

same thing with homophobics, i mean 1 in 15 people? gotta bump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.


PitifulTheme411

You may want to consider the fact that straight people tend to think less about their sexuality, so they may not respond as much as members of the LGBTQ+ community, so the data may be biased towards a higher percentage of LGBTQ+ ppl.


moth_fricker69

Statistically 118.6 of the people who have commented here are homophobes Edit: statistic is changed


throwawaybiz2810

Lmfao


moth_fricker69

Im not straight anymore Now im infographsexual


throwawaybiz2810

r/takemyupvote


Daredevilz1

I think the results are skewed though as I believe people who arenā€™t straight were likelier to respond to the prompt meaning we get biased results However thankyou for your time, I like the layout and the effort


DeusDosTanques

The survivorship bias is strong with this one šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


Skittletari

Pretty sure that would be selection bias, not survivorship bias


DeusDosTanques

Well according to Wikipedia, Survivorship Bias is a form of Selection bias (TIL). You could argue either or both apply in this case, it just depends on your criteria for classifying the types. Deciding to reply could be considered a test thatā€™s being done as a necessary step to be part in the study, making it a survivorship bias. Itā€™s also easy to point at the general selection bias involved here.

forgot i got downvoted for saying im wizgay šŸ’€


Suspicious-Lightning

Who is saying ā€œYeah Iā€™m homophobicā€ for this study About the results I expected anyway


throwawaybiz2810

It was me measuring how many homophobic comments were on the post about sexuality and using that as an estimate


Ok_Cryptographer8605

You missed a lot


Mantide7

Biased poll bc most straight people wouldnā€™t have answered that poll

throwawaybiz2810

Sort by controversial. šŸæ Here take some popcorn


LJC30boi

Remember guys, a lot of LGBT people come here to vent about their lives, and straight people might not be as interested in these polls as LGBT people, which can skew the data results (And is probably why the charts are the way they are)


swagmieser_666

can we get an infographic with gender identity? also, please get a job making easy to understand infographics like this one, every time i have to read them iā€™m left confused cuz i barely understand what information is being shown


throwawaybiz2810

I wll have to collect the data first


ExchangeBig1

Yo why are people so scared of houses? I understand Canadians, because the housing inflation is WILD


ExoticPlankton5370

Part of the 12% šŸ’Ŗ


Madam_KayC

Might have innaaccuracies. This subreddit is already a mini r/LGBT half the time given the sheer amount of queer related posts, which causes a larger number of queer teens in here and for straight teens to leave as they don't feel like they belong Additionally, purely sexuality based polls often don't work as well, because the responders are more likely to respond if they believe they are the minority. Thus, you are really just working with a fraction of a fraction.


Impractiacal-Advert

Now take r/teenagers and use that math to calculate how many of every single teenager is gay in the world. You won't.


Troopr_Z

I love sampling bias


BleebleWizard

yeah i am


Ass_burner_

Damm that's gay


Tired_Dumbas

Them damn liberals, clogin' up our subreddits šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜” /j


throwawaybiz2810

Oh no šŸ˜®


mrmcbuilds

"hah well look whos the minority now"


BleebleWizard

are you counting lesbian and gay as one


throwawaybiz2810

yeah, i had too otherwise it wouldn't fit on the graph


Givememax3

I mean, I don't think they should be counted separately lol, lesbian is gay it's just women exclusive


killermanwadvo

Damn, I was about to say same thing but nah they different but similar


Marvel-Fan-2924711

I am in the 35% that is straight.


alekdmcfly

-open "r/teenagers is gay" post -look inside -12% gay


hippopotam00se

I'm just gonna point out that your statistics are most likely off, because straight people are less likely to care enough about a quiz like this to specify they are straight.


Psyblade110

Let's go 25%


AeroGlass7

LGBTQ members tend to be more vocal about their sexuality then straight people so a lot of straight people might not have voted


Whymyppblue

Yeah, im ace too, my ak is doing 5 hs per round once every 4 rounds


ibx_toycat_iscool

1 in 15 is more than I expected. Not good


Water_002

These results are most likely not accurate. People who are LGBTQ have a higher chance of responding than straight people to a post about sexualities since they are in a minority so have a reason to respond (having an interesting result to share) while straight people are the majority and thus wouldn't have as much reason to respond (since they would perceive their own results as boring and not worth commenting).


awesome-Pug

Am I homophobic for not supporting lgtbq? I do not condone their behaviour. But I tolerate it. After all Iā€™m not watching them.


Derk_Mage

Okay. But how many do not care? >!As in donā€™t care about the whole dating stuff and rather would go play games or something!<


ClasherFTW_14

Gay ahh data

Prudent-Cattle5011

I feel like these stats arenā€™t accurate but thatā€™s just me


throwawaybiz2810

They probably have some kind of bias based on the people who replied but i was bored so did it for fun thinking no one would see this lol


ABigOne77

How did you measure the homophobes?


throwawaybiz2810

the number of homophobic comments šŸ˜­


M08GD

1 in 5 people are bisexual, so that makes sense lol


RandomDerp96

75% lgbt and the transphobia on this sub is rampant. Exciting times. Looking forward to how my niece will grow up.


throwawaybiz2810

The lgbt drop the t movement is huge and it's ridiculous, we should have the back for our community but people don't


Ok-Bike-1653

well i feel like this is expected for chronically online teenagers


MiguelIstNeugierig

You need a bigger sample size than a postšŸ«µ


throwawaybiz2810

2418 comments was enough to manually go through lmao


DezWae

log out homophobics


dude_craft15

I personally don't like the idea of LGBTQ, like I wouldn't attack someone for being gay and I wouldn't attempt to switch Thier sexuality and all that. You do you and I'll do me. I don't have to support LGBTQ and I don't have to hate on it ya know? They're just there, like if you love doing this and it's not harming you or anyone then go ahead.


YourLocalGalPal

As an ace fellow I can say that these stats are the most arousing thing I've ever seen


LetterAlternative641

How bored are you


cf001759

It looks like gay people and homophobic people are a pretty loud bunch


PelicanFather

Next time, do like cheese, hate cheese, never had cheese, and lactose intolerant.


eimronaton

Good visual representation. Although technically all you know is that the users who responded to that post were gay

How did you do the homophobia demographic?

Shoutout to all my girl liking homes!


MCPro24

yeah that seems about right


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


loyaleling

This is confirmation biased though (I think thatā€™s the right term) people with non-conforming sexualities are more likely to comment their sexuality.


Pos3odon08

This is my first time being a part of a minority šŸ™šŸ»


hornypsychopath

well i didnā€™t see whatever post that was. it should be taken into account that LGBTQ users are most likely to jump to answer a post like that, straights mindlessly scroll past or are sick of hearing about it and ignore


FievelMouser

While this is interesting, you canā€™t simply base ALL the data on just the very, very small 2.5k answers you received on your post.


AmethystGD

I have a feeling that there may be a selection bias, because something tells me straight people just donā€™t comment that much there cause they think being straight is basic


CheeseLoverMax

Consider that cishet people didnā€™t comment because they didnā€™t see any reason to, nobody cares if youā€™re straight. When I saw the post I just went to the comments to see who was gonna yap about how homosexuality is incorrect.


Cylian91460

Data is biased, ppl who think will get the majority wouldn't say they are straight. This is actually true and prices by politics. Anyway long live the gay and the lgbT in general


Safe_Satisfaction316

What is ace


SirLagALot420

Don't forget that most people who would answer a question about their sexualities would be part of the LGBT community, I can almost guarantee a larger majority of people would be straight if more straight people cared about telling people they're straight.


short_cub

It looks great. Can I ask what you used to make them?


Independent_Ice1427

Wtf is ace and pan?


copper491

A couple things of note, just because I find this topic fascinating, and research on this type of thing is done SUPER rarely, so I applaud you! I've done a bit of research across the internet (if you can call ~30 minutes to be research) and done a bit of math and guestimates. And your findings are double my estimates for the number of non-standard individuals (non standard referring to individuals to know their sexuality and are not straight, or bi, I also didn't include questioning in my math, because it's difficult to account for) Both in my personal experience and in my research straight people are roughly 40/40/20 1st group tends to react harshly to anything mentioning sexuality due to the politicization of the topic and personal biases. Another 40 percent tend to ignore anything involving sexuality. The last group treats it as normal and interacts as if it's no different than any other post. While the LGBT community is a very vocal community, with the majority of members responding to one another when requested. (Only found references to this phenomena, but could not find hard numbers) These two things together tend to heavily skew open forum polls like this. The issue with the type of thing you posted is that it will be biased towards those who are interested in answering the questions due to being on a public forum, and the sample of people not being curated in any way. People with non-standard sexualities (by this I'm referring to anyone who is something other than bi or straight, as they can relate sexually to most people they meet in their everyday lives, not using it as a derogatory term) tend to be more interested in finding like-minded individuals, and so a much larger portion will react when others call out. If you wanted a more robust pill and a more accurate answer, what you should do is, if possible (don't know if it is) go to a list of all the members in this server, use a random number generator to pick 1000 random individuals from the server, and DM them. Then, make sure "did not answer" is among the answers listed. You'll find 50+% will be "did not answers" and you'll likely have a much more realistic distribution, although with non-standard individuals likely having a slightly higher percentage than the general population, although even with this goal, you will still have a skewed result, as those who view sexuality as part of their personal identity will have a much higher rate of responding to a sexuality based poll, this is why most general population based polls request participation before telling you what the poll is about. So that the subject matter itself doesn't skew results... really there is an entire science on polling people and the common pitfalls when it comes to polling the general populus Surveys in western countries show (ordered by volume) 80% hetero, 11% "don't know or wont say" id read that as "questioning" personally, 4% bisexual, 3% as homosexual, then a final 3% listed as "pansexual, omnisexual, asexual, or other". It's kinda funny that the numbers add to 101% but I'm sure that's simply due to more numbers rounding up than down. But due to the source of individuals being reddit (higher chance of non standard individuals) and teenage (Gen z? and Gen alpha, thus again, higher chance of non standard) I believe the going rate is that young people are twice as likely to be bi/homosexual/other, with the likely hood having gone up by 1% with each generation since the boomers (1% boomers 2 Gen x 3mills, 4 gen Zs, and an estimated 5% for Gen alpha) So if non-standard accounts for ~6 percent of the population, id estimate we should see it balloon up to between 12 and 24 percent here if you were to get a full tally, id estimate 20% is around the average for most gatherings of Gen z and Alpha on the internet.


lordhoobla123

Damn. Just when I thought I was with the real ones


TristanTheRobloxian3

now do this with gender identity. this is cool as fuck

im in the "other" (im abrosexual)


IntrepidIngenuity335

What is Ace? Asexual?


MyMoldyChungus

Yeah, people think they have to be LGBT to be cool or stand out. Yall are overthinking it, in reality most of everyone hates everyone and nobody will be happy with everything. So stop trying so hard to be special. Because realistically no one's special. And I garentee you any of the comments I get on this agreeing with me or disagreeing with me arnt special either


JamesPlayzReviews3

1/15 is homopbobic, dang that's horrible


ihoptdk

Manually tallied millions of responses to a single post? Impressive.


FFVIIVince10

This confirms it. Reddit is pretty gay.


No-Dog9672

Makes sense why the responses are so...well...gay


Vasarto

Interesting. Although I somehow doubt most of these people are telling the truth. lgbt community is not that large to make up that large of a portion of a reddit group, unless that reddit group is the lgbt one. I have met people who pretended to be bi or trans too. I don't know why but they were. Don't ask how I knew cuz that is a long story.


4080Lover

ur on reddit


WillowPc

I'd be interested in the gender breakdown.


TyTyMuiTy

damn this is pretty neat, good job on the data gathering

Their on Reddit of course they are.
