Do you think GAG represents the views of the general population?

[Kykiono1]

Yes

No

Not sure

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I'm unsure about this honestly. I mean, some people here just seem to be a more traditional society. There's lots of things asked in dating stuff that I could care less about. For example: "What color of eyes do you like?" "What color of hair do you like?" "Do you want your partner to have a big package?" "Do you care about money?" and so on. Like, some of this stuff I just don't care about or think much about. As I know my future partner will be a friend of mine and I'll love them just for who they are as a person.

[Cynicaldreamer]

HAHA, NO.

This is just a small percentage of users compared to so many other social media sites out there-

Plus, you have to keep in mind most people are hiding behind the anonymity of the internet, so their opinions may or may not be as honest as you would think. By that I mean, they might say something completely different if asked the same question in person compared to online where they can be as blunt... or facetious, as they wish to be.

Basically I take most opinions on here with a grain of salt. Even if someone claims to be an "expert" or have experience with someone. Most things online should be treated that way.

[Kykiono1]

What about Reddit do you think they present the general population?

[Siri137]

Hell no. The people on 'Reddit' are insane.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, if you took a poll you would get the same results. You have to remember gag is not a world of dysfunctional rejects they come from the normal regular world. Every website that I have been on is pretty much the same. You have your different kind of characters. The difference between online and in person is, you can speak your mind online which in person you probably wouldn’t say it what you’re thinking

[JacobJordan]

I would say certain people on GAG represent the majority of the populace. Difference being some of us are willing to say what we say on here irl as well

[Kykiono1]

How do you know which people it is?

[JacobJordan]

Tends to be the ones that always give decent answers even if you don't agree with them. Also the people who aren't afraid of upsetting people with the truth. Some people it is pretty obvious others it takes a little while to get a sense of where they stand.

[midnightmoon05]

Yup!👍

[ManOnFire]

@jacobjordan Very well put.

[bobalife]

nope, it’s a small community with certain parts of the world and demographics that does not represent the majority. I can recognize most people here is not like where I’m from and they only represent from their individuality, experience, knowledge, and their upbringing in that area mostly.

[Kykiono1]

What about reddit?

[bobalife]

I can’t speak about Reddit since I only use and here on Gag on short periods. I prefer social medias than gag lol.

[Kykiono1]

And you think they represent the general public?

[bobalife]

Social media or gag?

[Kykiono1]

social media whatever you're on

[bobalife]

Social media: twitter, facebook, instagram, snapchat, etc lol. I like Instagram and Snapchat mostly.

I think yes and no, it’s a given on trends. But no, I don’t think it represent everyone because the vast majority may and may not be on social media.. and social media also likes to show this fantasy of what people can be like in comparison and there are some truth yet there isn’t some truth… it’s a gray area tbh.

[Kykiono1]

People on social media can act different than in real life too, basically everything you said about GAG applies to any social media sites.

[bobalife]

Well if that’s how you wanna perceive it, sure. But I disagree since gag is a small community from certain areas compared to social media that has zillion people from literally everywhere possible.

Gag is not social media, but some people confuses this as one. But people can perceive however they want.

[Kykiono1]

We have people from all over the world here, lot of big cities

[Kykiono1]

But i understand what you are saying about the small community

[bobalife]

Yep it’s international, but it does not mean it’s not as much as representations from all over the world as you think… 🙄 literally people in the u. s. here is mostly East and Midwest, does that rep the whole u. s? Nah. I’m one of the smallest percentage people here not from that area in the u. s. and I can confidentially say how most individuals communicate, view, values, styles is way different than those in that area.

[Kykiono1]

Yeah i understand

[bobalife]

Confidently *

[Babygirl_S]

I don't think so because it's mostly a small proportion of American people who use this website. People here seem to like my ethnicity more than the majority I read about on the Internet. Many countries are not represented well here. For instance, most human beings are Indians but only some are using this app.

[laly520]

no

what I keep seeing on here is different from what I see irl

people r obsessing over sex n genitals for example

[Kykiono1]

I mean in terms of what people think in general

[laly520]

in my opinion it doesn't represent the views of general population

[RebelinSteel]

Nope not even close, no matter what you see on social media the real power rests with those large numbers of people that don’t overly protest, don’t shout about things.

[Kykiono1]

So you think social media sites like reddit and GAG are in the minority?

[RebelinSteel]

All social media sites are. There is soo much fake news, bots etc that what you see on social media does not really reflect the masses.

[Kykiono1]

What fake news?

[RebelinSteel]

Seriously? There is a huge amount around, entire bot farms

[Siri137]

Highly unlikely. If it does, then humanity is doomed.

[msmissydc]

No, not at all.
Its on average younger, Its super U. S. Focused, and with the ammount of fake pink accounts I dont think the gender ratio is real.

[Kykiono1]

Its not super US focused

[Still-alive]

There’s a sizable far right population on here too.

[Kykiono1]

@Still-alive Lot of leftists too

[msmissydc]

Well yes it is when ut comes to politics its mostly about U. S.
Yes I dont think the political left and right ratio is close to reality. Also the ones closer to the mid are mostly silent even if they exist.

[Still-alive]

Actually I haven’t noticed nearly as many leftists on here as right wingers but maybe im just blind lol.

[msmissydc]

@Still-alive I agree. That does come with the U. S focus though as america doesn't really have a left.

[Joshydavid25]

Nah, Gag doesn't even represent it's own population is a lot of answers are probably to make ourselves look a certain way.. But a few thousand active people can't represent millions..

[Joshydavid25]

As a lot of answers..***

[TonyMetal___86]

Yes it does, because there are members here who are from all over the world, cultures and religions...

[JoePro_]

No. I think you have a decent mix of voices here, but that they're still only a small sampling.

[Infinity_Soup]

People on social media platforms like this tend to flock into groups. This is especially true the nicer a site is

[Kykiono1]

What do you mean by flock into groups?

[Infinity_Soup]

There's a cognitive bias to stick with similarly minded people, and most social media platforms form groups with very similar minded people because of this. And example would be subreddits on Reddit

[WhitneySnow]

I think they’re a little more conservative than the general population

[Guanfei]

Not, because of the moderation and usually restraint in social interactions (which G@G is, in a way), many opinions are either toned down, or never posted/deleted.

[Kykiono1]

Right i agree about the opinions

[4ngelic]

NOOOO and thank god or else as a species we're doomed

[chrissykerdock]

a little off they say 75% swalllow cum on here its 85%

[Maddy5]

Naw we’re too weird on here

[Ironco]

I was thinking the same thing

[Anonymous]

To some dgree, but it is skewed toward the views of younger people who have too much time on their hands, and those people are not the majority.

[9in_Serpent]

no way lol in general people on gag are more conservative and right wing

[zagor]

It represents the views of those with too much time on their hands.

[OtterMan68]

no, more trolls on GAG as online forums attract trolls

[msc545]

No. GaG has a lot more fascists than are present in the population.

[BLP11520]

Most people don’t think about boobs and dicks this much,😐

[WindyandWarms]

Fuck no! lol Biden is a genius.

[patrick994]

Fortunately not.

[Kykiono1]

How do you know

[patrick994]

It is a small community, most of the women and men registered here are toxic people.

[Kykiono1]

What about reddit?

[patrick994]

Reddit is larger as a community, but it is very possible to come across people with toxic personality traits, however, it is possible to make requests in the appropriate subreddits related to the question.

[Kykiono1]

Do you think reddit represents the general population?

[patrick994]

Well not the entire population, but a large part of it is, of course if we take into account all the categories of the social.

[Kykiono1]

Why would reddit be representative of the general population?

[Kykiono1]

Reddit is just as toxic as GAG

[patrick994]

I said the reddit community does not represent the general population, but it is larger than GAG. I agree that reddit and GAG are toxic.

[Kykiono1]

Oh ok

[douride2]

No not really.

[Jennz6]

I’m not really sure

[Sharkstealth]

It represents the views of the female mind.

[IloveWinters]

Nopes it doesn't

[Kykiono1]

Why not

[Anonymous]

God I hope not or society is doomed.🤣

[Celticwolf78]

No because people just like to bully others

[Danny_dan92]

Don’t think so

[Kykiono1]

I hope most people don't think like you too as well

[Danny_dan92]

Thanks. I appreciate that

[eagle1951]

no not really
