When the media lies to you all day you tend to get a warped perception of reality.
I'm torn between interpreting this as NPCs being NPCs and people just being really horrible at estimating using numbers.
Have you ever once seen any statistic at all where the general public was good at estimating it? Even something as simple as estimating lengths of time. I can't tell you how many times someone has described a two second interval as "half a minute", which would make them off by more than a factor of fifteen. Almost everyone I know does it.
Or how about a topical issue, the gas crisis? Every time gas goes up, there's a surge of new Prius buyers, even though if gas went from $2 to $8 and stayed there permanently, an average person would only be saving like $200 a month on gas, which means it would take over 12 years to break even.
Never trust an untrained person to be able to process numbers.
It's probably a combination of both. People aren't good with estimating numbers, but when almost every bit of western entertainment media shows disproportionately large amounts of minorities and LGBTQAHFKANSHDNADHSJ people, it definitely doesn't help.
It's hypereality.
The media didn't lie to anyone about the number of left-handed people. I think people just aren't good at estimating these things.
Well, kinda. The media talks about minorities non-stop. As such people overestimate how many of them there are.
I would like to see how these numbers compare to non-western countries that don't prioritize "diversity" or raising minority voices to be equal with the majority. I remember watching Sesame Street and learning that left-handed people are just as as normal as right-handed people and we shouldn't bully people because of differences. Even something as harmless as that makes us more "conscious" of those differences, and we might assume they represent a large segment of the population. Han Chinese don't give a shit about any of that and will bully anyone they please. Ask an Arab how many gays are in his country and he will say 0%.
and that 0% is still too high for him
1% trannies seems like severe rounding up
Since none of the statistics are below 1%, I would assume that is the case.
0.002% wouldnt look as good on a graph with nice whole numbers.
There's a 0% (averaged).
I think that may be a literal 0% though.
I dont think Billionaires have traditional household incomes, they just get everything from stonks and other investments.
Nah, there are at least a few CEOs with annual income over $1 million.
Don't even have to get weird with it. There are plenty of households with two working medical doctors in things like anesthesia or radiology that would hit a million. Lots of athletes. Way more than 0.
They're spreading like locusts in the younger generation, so I don't know. I'm always surprised by the percent of kids that are delusional enough to think they're trans or gay when really they're just faggy and misguided.
Grooming like faggots more like.
Kids dont naturally think "i'm attracted to butt "sex"" or "I want to lop of my penis".
All according to plan
It's pretty fucked too - if you look at the numbers, if you're of the 3% "gay", shit like TIkTok and Tumblr has convinced these degenerates that they're now part of an even SMALLER victim class - the troons, who are overestimated at 1%.
Too many gay guys have been convinced they're trannies.
I've yet to see any honest statistics on how the various segments of the Rainbow Reich are distributed. They can't even agree on the the percentage of alphabet people in the general population. I've seen from as low as 1% to as high as 5%. With troons the numbers are extra hard to come by because there's a constant struggle between the groomers and the 41 percenters on the troon population.
That gay percentage is way too high.
its more accurately about 0.5% for the entire LGBTQWERTY.
A lot of attention whores are pretending to be sexual deviants because its whats popular.
I wish I could find that article again. There are insane percentages of kids identifying as bi or pan or any of those other made up orientations but when it comes to actually hooking up they still act straight (because, well, they are).
I knew a libtard who identified as pansexual but he just dated women.
Over 6% already. It's mostly very young adults (and a lot more among children, who aren't being counted).
When you factor in how what feels like every second woman is 'pansexual' (a slut), you get silly numbers.
So I'm a faggot if I think Gigachad is indeed a gigachad?
Figures that a scale designed by a pedophile would be defective and degenerate.
I think they actually strap a sensor on a man's peener and then show him gay porn, and if he gets a boner he gay. Seems fair, lol
That's not what the Kinsey scale is in any way.
Asians, Blacks, Jews, Muslims, and Native Americans combine for 154% of the population. I guess we have a ton of Ethiopian Jews who converted to Islam.
That's what social engineering and brainwashing propaganda looks like.
Decades of social engineering, which culminated in Social media.
Social media gathered the most faithful cultists and unleashed them on an unsuspecting general population. It made everyone an agent of the culture war.
Social media is so effective because it allows fringe minorities to manufacture a false consensus that normies are unwilling to question because peer pressure is stronger than gravity.
The ones who put atheist are more likely actually anti-theists
Yeah, and they're the biggest pain in the ass to deal with.
I'm agnostic at this point and I used to be a militant anti-theist when I was young, dumb, and leftist.
Jew York City.
Also NYC apparently has the same population as the entirety of California.
I could see how they'd think blacks are 41% because despite being 12% of the population...
TWENTY PERCENT of the population are multi-millionaires? That's retarded, but might be true by the end of the decade.
stonksinflation
Or mass die-off.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/22/heres-how-22-million-americans-became-millionaires.html
22 million. so thats probably 15% or so. 1 in 10 americans is a millionaire.
What? The US has a population of ~340 million. If the number you cited is correct, that's 6%.
And I say "if" because being a millionaire and having "household income of over $1M" are wildly different. In the OP, yougov is claiming it's less than half a percent.
I wonder if the participants were asked to confirm some of their "estimates." For example, "are you sure 90% of Americans are either Muslim, Jewish, or Athiest?" Or, "do you really believe 92% of Americans live in either New York City, the state of Texas, or the state of California?"
On second thought, considering how many of the "estimates" hover around 30%, I'm more than willing to guess a bunch of people just fucked around and put 100% for everything.Edit: After looking at the full list, the second thought doesn't apply and I have now learned how to cross things out again.
It's two squigglies on each side of the text. ~~Like this.~~ =
Like this.Shows the influence of the social media nonsense on people. Look how much of it are the hot talking points. 29% are bisexual? What kind of stupid pill do you have to be on to think that's true? I'm not even sure that high of proportion would apply to Reddit users. Muslim + Jewish + Atheist + Christian add up to 160%. How can that work, since I presume these groups are all mutually exclusive. Same stupidity with their races. Pretty damn close with the faggotry groups.
People are stupid.
... according to Americans who have been brainwashed by Operation Mockingbird media.

If you do nothing but watch American ads and TV, that might give you such an impression.
40% of my family are lefties.
Bow to your new better handed overlords, you wrong handed plebes!
4% members of a union can't possibly be right, healthcare unions alone are probably over 4%.
Archived source article because OP is a screencap posting faggot who just missed a call and is likely either a nurse or military.

11% gang rise up.
Righties will get their payback one of these days.
Then why the fuck are we running into so many of these trannies in our gaming hobby and/or entertainment hobbies?
The numbers for these fucks are disproportional.
This I believe is accurate.
I also suspect a lot of heterosexuals are tricked into thinking they're bi, though this is usually harmless unlike being tricked into thinking your dysphoric.
