The "average" OT poster

[aimeeandbeatles]

What would you describe as the average OT poster? Or is there an average?

Also, no comparing specific users (to keep this within the rules)

 

[Bill3000]

By average, do you mean most normal, or average as in the mean of all OT posters?

 

[kulade]

More importantly, what is the standard deviation of OT posters?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well, I mean such as political scales (e.g. left or right) or religion or opinions or stuff like that.

Probably the one that makes you attracted to cartoon women. Or is that not considered a deviation in modern society?

In that case, the median OT poster is slightly left leaning and quite anti-authoritarian agnostic I guess.

In modern society, yes. But this is the internet.

Male, college aged, American (although the board is pretty international), socially very liberal, slightly left leaning economically, obnoxiously non-religious, good language skills, somewhat introverted, etc.

Age.. 25?

 

[Flying Pig]

I think I drag the norms away a bit - but I'd guess adolescent, educated, unfit, and American with very strong political views. Probably never had a girlfriend

Hey, I'm big-boned!

Probably never had a girlfriend

Um... dang-it!

 

[Miles Teg]

Um... dang-it!

I think he meant SO. The rendering of that as girlfriend is an artifact of the fact that the vast majority here are heterosexual males.

Nah, Miles' one is better.

 

[Mowque]

Probably never had a girlfriend

My girlfriend is a member!

 

[Bill3000]

My girlfriend is a member!

You're not average!

 

[Earthling]

The average OT poster has probably directly contributed to the deaths of 0.5 human beings. Of course, as an average this is likely skewed by some extreme outliers; the median OT poster has probably never purposefully killed anyone.
