I remember a few months back there was a similar poll where women said video games were a turnoff. Just makes me laugh considering for over a decade they have been really pushing the idea that there are waves and waves of women who want to buy super hero comics or waves of women just dying to play video games that generally appeal to men.
I know with comic books there was a poll during the height of the MCU that showed that 50 percent of women liked the movies. Which anyone could see that the people going to the movies weren't reading the comics. Of course Gail Simone and her fridging nonsense caused comic book head to bend the knee to this nonsense instead of seeing who actually buys comics. As for gaming, I remember it being 2018 when I finally cancelled my Game Informer subscription when every issue was either something about women in gaming or some ridiculous lecture about toxicity or lack of diversity in gaming.
Don't forget the sob stories of women who cried about going into a comic book store and having to "be quizzed" by nerds (i.e. an unattractive man asked her what comics she liked). All this is why with rare exception I just watch stuff that was made 2014 and prior. Just with the 80s and 90s there is so much I didn't see growing up and I am catching up on (like I am currently watching the Sleepaway Camp movies on Tubi).
Sorry for the long message, but I found that poll to be pretty funny.
Women's stated preferences are absolutely worthless. Do we have data on how many women are currently dating comic book nerds?
I remember when MCU/Big Bang Theory and pretty much nerdy stuff were at its peak popularity I had this very attractive co-worker who would wear a shirt that said I love nerds or talk nerdy to me. I used to chuckle imaging some guy approaching her and trying to discuss the three laws of robotics
Or going off about how removing damage from the stack was a terrible decision and how mana burn was an obscure but valuable rule to keep certain edge case decks in check back when Mana Flare was the big ramp game in town.
Bunch of posers man...Anyone who's actually nerdy and advertising is doing it with a t-shirt referencing obscure things that the normie isn't going to even have heard of, much less recognize.
Those WERE both important issues! I miss mana burn and damage on the stack, MTG has been so kiddie-fied lately.
Those were just 00s/early 10s hipsters? Scott Pilgrim fans?
