I'm curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it's infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out. I encourage you to join in, and you can skip any and every question if you so choose. You can view the results at the bottom of the page.
Sorry I rushed it out after the first poll locked out. I had bisexual before so I'll add it as soon as I can. I wanted gay and lesbian so people who wish to see the divide can do so I was hoping it wouldn't clutter too much and that's also another issue. I knew making this people would question the western and English speaking biases and whatnot but understand I struggle to reconciliate all the considerations while maintaining the data interesting and useful to look at/ digest
It is not broken, it just completely stopped tallying. Apparently the free version of supersurvey has a limit of only fucking 25 responses, and of course they do not tell you this until you created an account and already sent out the survey and then asks you to pay $90 a month for this shitty webapp that breaks immediately.
I'm just going to have to make another survey; what a bust...
Yep I've been carefully looking, even when creating this one! They got me good, I'm actually surprised there isn't a free alternative webapp out there for such a simple concept. That is definitely something that I will develop myself in the near future. But so far I found one that has allows to share the result page. So I'm working on it!
Bearing in mind, of course, that there's a lot of biases in your sample. You're sampling the demographics of /m/kbin, not kbin as a whole, and you're primarily targeting English-speakers since that's the language you wrote in.
Yeah unfortunately it would be difficult to get a broad census on here. I would've posted in /m/askkbin, but that's explicitly disallowed. The English-speaking bias is a given, and that's why the countries list look the way it does, but kbin is probably vast majority English speaking, frankly.
They exist for sure, but the numbers are smaller and English speaking world has the plurality as well as the majority. Honestly I wish I could account for everyone equally as you would be surprised by whose on here.
I hate to lump Europe and Africa all together a well and then separate North America by country but as you can see in the results it's done out of pure necessity
Race was multiselect but picking more than one answer value did not display in the results. In that case it should've been radio buttons only for that question.
I'm going to mess with the settings to see if I can fix it ASAP. For now I see if you don't select anything and press 'Skip' and then vote it takes you to the results. Thanks!

I agree with you and I live in the US. I’ve been single for 20 years…but I was married before that so I’m divorced. I guess you can never be single again.
Yep, though the single option is often written as single/never married so that it's more clear. We don't have common law marriages (except a few states) so those 4 categories cover every situation, though without much detail.
I don't think so? I'm struggling to think of how it would enhance human rights. Isn't it the same as regular marriage without the trip to the local court? I always thought other countries had it as a penalty so that couples couldn't use cohabitating but not getting married as a tax loophole.
It's a human rights issue because of things like property law, adoption, next of kin rights. Sometimes people (often women) can be left financially vulnerable, especially if children are involved, if their relationship is not recognised under the law.
Couples don't get tax advantages over single people where I live either, so that part's a non issue.
Yes, I was going to add "complicated" and maybe other options, but ultimately I decided not to but maybe I should? This was a generated question so that should answer your question.
I think though if it's of interest of people maybe I should. What do you think?
Single, married, divorced, and widowed are legal concepts that cover everything that can without being overcomplicated with a million personal preferences and 'complicated' is meaningless without every single unique person's context.
Or add a separate question about whether they feel their situation is more complicated than that without muddling clear answers on legal status.
I think collecting the stats on it first is probably a big part of why we slowly changed our laws to give them all the same rights - when we saw how many people were being affected.
