Well I'm a straight female I'm actually surprised at the ratio of male to female fans, I avtually thought there would be more girls...although I do think this poll isn't the best representation...I actually can see the appeal to males rather than females though.

Murex wrote:Interesting. I would've guessed the ratio would be about 70-30 between guys and girls, sexuality aside. I remember reading a lot of posts by female fans before the game came out; I wonder if the fanbase has become more male since then. Or maybe guys are just more likely to respond to polls about gender.

I think this shows the forums are very male, but I don't think the fanbase at large is quite such a fête de la saucisse as all that. 70/30 sounds about right, though I have no means of supporting that.

Tangentially sorta related, here's a charming young woman who comes close to losing her composure when describing how beautiful KS is and how it dropped a feel-anvil on her:

Before this thread, I've seen exactly one poster identify themselves as female.

This is highly educational.

How does the female readership break down as far as favorite characters?

I don't see how any female could resist Hisao's sweater vest, to be honest.

This.
His swaggerrific sweater vest.

"The etiquette of Eroge is a single person's dark lonely pleasure. This is the truth!"

i know KS is more like a VN then an Eroge but you get the point. Considering the main character is male and there is no gay option and no way to have a female lead... (unless thats exactly what the bad ending is. dont spoil it. then again maybe im better off not knowing).

Laughed hard at the amount for straight males compared to the rest. But it was kinda expected

I want to know though. How do girls feel about this game? I didnt think many chicks would play it, because of what most people expect when they first start playing...

I know a girl who loves it, but she told me she only played because I suggested it to her.

But as far as the girls go, I find Shizune really interesting. I haven't played through all the paths yet though, sooooo...
Also, Nurse. *swoons*

If I were, which I'm not, I'd probably vote gay or lesbian just to split it from the plain straight group. Also, if the person is bi, wouldn't they put the one they prefer? I don't understand how it is for those that are bi so please don't rage at my ignorance.

Ehhhh. I don't think a bisexual person would very much appreciate having their sexuality not included in this. A bisexual person is neither gay or straight so why would they be compelled to choose that option?

It didn't have to be this way. The OP could have just let it be about gender as the thread title said it would be!

Still funny though. If the OP is 'what gender are most KS fans', doesn't that meant the only options available are:
-Male
-Female

Unless there's a new gender called 'Duke', 'Chuck', and 'Russian', then there should only be two options on gender.
Bisexual, straight, gay, lesbian, etc...those are preferences ain't it?

Come on, you're not gonna' find those in the immigration ticket if you're arriving on a foreign country! I'll eat that paper if I find more gender options rather than 'male' and 'female'

Oh dear. I'm sensing the onset of some university washroom politics.

On the whole you're correct, I probably should've just left it as male and female. Still, the intent of the thread is still clear so it's not THAT big of a deal.
