Oh. Huh. That seems important. I wonder what they have to say in response.

SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groupsEnglish1·3 days agoWhat a weirdly specific way to phrase that.
But anyway, a quick search popped this up: https://today.yougov.com/society/articles/23914-kinsey-scale-sexuality-millennials-2019-poll
Same-sex attraction is more widely reported for Millennials than older generations. In fact, fewer than half (46%) of Millennials say they are completely heterosexual, according to new research from YouGov RealTime.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groupsEnglish1·4 days agoAh. I missed the fine print part that says the actual data is from census polls, rather than what is actually likely. When you said “that doesn’t mean all those people identify that way”, I was like BUT THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT. That does change my impression of the graph significantly, because that would not necessarily mean the numbers are “actual”, but rather, should read “actual poll data”.
Most of the graph I feel is about right, too. I just find it hard to believe a lot of the upper half of the stuff is so wildly wrongly estimated AND that non-hertero sexualities is still portrayed as basically legacy data, rather than trying to forecast what we all know would be if people weren’t repressed by society. Again, though, it’s this way to fit a narrative, thus my minor issue.

I was going to ask what percentage were just visitors, specifically tourists.
That place just hates everybody. Gay? Death. Lesbian? Death. Drugs? Death.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groupsEnglish213·4 days agoI feel like a lot of these numbers, both the “estimated” and “actual” are just outright fucking wrong. Every single person I grew up with was at least some level of gay or bisexual. I get what they’re going for, but they’re also dramatizing it by picking more extreme numbers. Like I’d bet that only 30% of people are actually, truly cishet, if not even lower.
Then there’s the problem of a single number of “estimated”, which can only be an average number. Which contains, likely, some juicy demographics data, assuming they actually polled enough people and kept all the information. I’d be curious to see graphs for each and every number presented here.

I scrolled too far to see this… I didn’t know people were doing stars so differently.
If #1 were also internally screaming to the point of needing to then find comfort in distraction, #1.
Try to figure out what makes them go harder and do more of that >:)

(Details on how to help in text body of post)English41·15 days agoI haven’t really been following it or him (I don’t really even know much, other than the gist of not wanting games to disappear when devs decide it’s too expensive to keep the servers). What did he do? Because normally he gives pretty good takes.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamersEnglish2·17 days agoMaybe SE should set aside a smaller team to make FF games that are turn based? Just the zealots and the necessary people. Sure it would splinter the company essentially, but I’d rather them be splintered and still make games that I want to play, then be cohesive and be all animations and bad.
Personally, due to the roots of FF, I think the core team should be turn-based, and the spin-off titles can be non-turn-based.
Edit: (Fuck. What am I even arguing against… I don’t even give a shit if they’re turn-based or not, I just want them to be fun again and not shitty.)
But… Why is the logo for this community a Bad Dragon?
