Wil Wheaton posts an infographic on Tumblr regarding a survey of this subreddit. Where did this come from? Is it legitimate?

LOL

This guy actually expects people to believe that the majority of MRAs are strong conservatives, but they are all atheists and support legalized pot.

That survey is fucked.

Funny how the feminists' survey wasn't maliciously bombarded with bots to manipulate the results while the MRAs was. I guess that is how they operate.

Marcruise · 2014-04-15T09:59:36+00:00

Any yahoo with half a brain could see that the survey was sabotaged. For heaven's sake, simply compare the final results with the results at an earlier stage of the process.

Look at political affiliation. At 20:15 GMT 10/04/2014:

Strong liberal - 38 or 15%
Liberal - 39 or 15%
Independent - 107 or 41%
Conservative - 44 or 17%
Strong conservative - 31 or 12%

Final results:

Strong liberal - 51 or 2%
Liberal - 62 or 2%
Independent - 314 or 11%
Conservative - 59 or 2%
Strong conservative - 2497 or 84%

Are we really expected to believe that organically 2714 people showed up and only 1.4% of them chose 'strong liberal', 'liberal', or 'conservative'? You hardly need to be a professional pollster to realise that the survey was sabotaged. It's a testament to just how desperate the MRM's enemies are that they think they've achieved some sort of 'gotcha!' here.

As for Wheaton, how is it he manages to fail his own law with such alarming regularity? Or was his intention to underline the importance of the law by using his own life as exemplar material? Sort of "Don't be dick... If you're struggling to understand what that means, allow me to demonstrate."

Dumbass needs to learn the issues.

Due process trampling rape policies put in place at colleges.

Studies that show false rape allegations to be in the double digits.

Boy crisis (men represent a whooping 42% of college attendance) in education that is getting no attention from policy makers

Boys forced to pay child support to their statutory rapists

Sentencing disparity - women, on average, receive 1/3 the sentence a male receives for the same crime

Death Penalty that almost exclusively targets male criminals

Domestic violence that is roughly 50% but is never discussed on the male side. In addition federally funded DV shelters refuse to take men in

“Arrest the male” domestic violence policies – coupled with “mandatory arrest” (someone has to be arrested when a DV call is made even if it looks to be false) policies

Child custody

Paternity fraud

False restraining orders that are extremely easy for women to get (when David Letterman asked a judge why he granted a female a restraining order who claimed he was sending her “messages” over his show the judge responded “Because she filled out the form correctly")

50% – the number of restraining orders that are given without so much as an allegation of physical abuse

70% – the estimated number of restraining orders that are false based on several studies by state.

Title IX’s proportionality requirement crushing mens sports programs so much so that the US Commission on Civil rights advocated it be reformed to stem the “unnecessary reduction of mens athletic opportunities”

Scholarship discrimination (in every gender symmetric sport except gymnastics there are more scholarships available to girls than boys)

War dead, workplace deaths, suicide, homicide, violent assault, homelessness – all categories where men are negatively affected far more yet EVERY federal level gender specific law and program is dedicated to women.

Clearly we are just "disconnected from reality" tho, according to the mangina.

Allevil669 · 2014-04-15T10:36:43+00:00

SRS freeps results, then pretends results are real.

Also, Wil Wheaton is either a gullible fool, or an outright liar.

ThePigmanAgain · 2014-04-15T10:20:55+00:00

Looks like bullshit. No way are 87% of us 17-20. I also find it hard to believe that a group can be mostly conservative yet also mostly in favor of legalizing pot! This Wheaton guy is a clown and a has-been and the only people who take him seriously are the other clowns.

BrianGoethe · 2014-04-15T12:19:11+00:00

Young, very conservative atheists that mainly are into marijuana legalization? I'm not gonna say those people don't exist, but you'd be hard pressed to come up with a couple of thousand of them right away

2014-04-15T12:18:04+00:00

Pretty much what you'd expect from an actor with an opinion. Smug, gullible and absurdly influential.

AtomicBLB · 2014-04-15T12:52:24+00:00

I guess I'm the weird 1% who thinks men and women are disadvantaged in many DIFFERENT ways to each other... I like this subreddit because I can identify with many of the stories and get mad at the injustice (in general, not because it happened to a man) that so many are facing over stereotypes. Men are allowed to say no and shouldn't be victims to extremist feminists.

It's the stories like the MARRIED cab driver who was stabbed after being sexually assaulted (I'd say rape, but definitions and all) that are the reason men need some protection. She got off because of her medicine, no, that is unacceptable. Just as it would be if the roles were switched. A friend on Facebook posted it and was laughing, he thought it was amusing. It pissed me off so bad. He was a guy too.

liquid_j · 2014-04-15T13:50:23+00:00

I'm a 36 year old liberal. So this is what its like to feel alone.

nobody2000 · 2014-04-15T14:49:13+00:00

I write surveys for a living. This must've been one of the worst crafted surveys in the history of the practice.

An example of how shitty this survey is: "Which of the following issues do you support?"

Now - either this is one of the world's most incredible coincidences, or this question was worded like shit. The percentages add up to 100 AND THEY SHOULDN'T. I support a few of those issues - I'm sure others do too. Nope - this was a single-answer-radio-button question.

"Which issue do you most support" would be better, but it seems that there was no rhyme or reason behind selecting the 7 issues on the survey. Why that mix of choices? Why not something else? What are you trying to find out?

It sounds like it was either just a shitty survey, or it was created to make us look bad - or the results are just falsified.

Unfortunately, shitty "information" like this is what arms people to argue ridiculous shit. This sort of shitty methodology has created the 77% fallacy and the numerous exaggerated rape statistics from women, and the underrepresented rape statistics from men.

_LegBeard_ · 2014-04-15T12:49:38+00:00

What happened to his whole "don't be a dick" thing? I didn't particularly value Wil Wheaton's opinion to begin with, but neither did I think he was an idiot. I considered him to have above-average conscientiousness as far as celebrities go in that he never seemed to purport to know something he didn't.

I wouldn't say his posting of a survery that is so obviously tampered with is Jenny Macarthy-level foolishness but I'm still pretty disappointed.

I'm interested to see what level of backlash he'll get and what his reaction (retraction, I hope? apology?) would be.

haharae · 2014-04-15T12:19:29+00:00

Honestly, I'm not surprised to see this on Wheaton's tumblr. He lost his spine and his sense to feminists years ago when he began worshipping them. He doesn't see the irony in being rich, white, and famous and discarding others' beliefs based on a (rigged) survey that says they're also white. I bet he's actually a strong supporter in not discarding someone's beliefs like that on the basis of sex or age...providing that someone is a woman.

As for the survey, even if it were real, why does this give anyone the right to discount anyone's opinions? People like Wil are saying "LOOK! THEY'RE WHITE AND YOUNG! THAT MUST MEAN THEIR OPINIONS DON'T COUNT, THOSE OVERPRIVILEGED SHITLORDS!" But isn't that the same thing as saying women's opinions aren't valid because their women?

Furthermore, if the survey were true, why is it surprising to see that the majority of people who are part of this sub are white men? I mean, it is a sub that focuses on the issues of men, white or not. That's like going to SRS or /feminism and saying "HA! LOOK! THE MAJORITY OF THEIR MEMBERS ARE WOMEN! THEY CLEARLY HAVE THEIR OWN INTERESTS AT MIND!"

ebonlance · 2014-04-15T15:19:56+00:00

The thing that bugs me about this whole thing is: why does the demographics of the subreddit matter at all?

Let's assume it was 100% legitimate and not rigged. Why would it matter that we're overwhelmingly male and white? Our opinions don't count because we're white men? Gee, and here I thought making sweeping generalizations based on race and/or gender was a Bad Thing.

Fucking hypocrites. They can't put their tiny little dogma-drive brains to constructing a legitimate counterargument, so they resort to this bullshit and somehow we're the bad guys.

AeneaLamia · 2014-04-15T12:09:46+00:00

Perhaps this could be looked at as an 'all publicity is good publicity' scenario.

The poll was obviously tampered with, but if it makes people interested enough to look here, they won't find the hate they are looking for.

vikingz0mbi3 · 2014-04-15T15:26:57+00:00

First Adam Sessler mocks us and says we're part of the problem, and now this from Wil Wheaton? The whiteknighting is real..

YetAnotherCommenter · 2014-04-15T10:09:45+00:00

Wheaton is an SJW. Anything he says is ideologically manipulated. Plus, he played Wesley Crusher.

Ignore anything he says.

HolySchmoly · 2014-04-15T10:45:13+00:00

This is an interesting first effort in how to do a survey of ourselves, principally for its mistakes, from which we can learn.

If the survey is anonymous it is wide open to abuse and its results are unreliable. Here is a perfect demonstration of that problem. The question is how to address it for the next time.

Magicslime · 2014-04-15T17:37:33+00:00

Wil Wheaton's correction:

Turns out that /r/mensrights survey I posted yesterday was rigged, and the person who set it up has withdrawn the whole thing. So … now you know.

Not an apology, but at least he's admitting he was wrong.

2014-04-15T12:38:51+00:00

That survey was trolled. The results are painfully obvious.

2014-04-15T12:51:53+00:00

So is this just a public, open survey, that anyone can take, without any sort of way to tell whether or not it's valid after the fact? Fantastic science at work here Mr. Crusher.

DerekAcorah · 2014-04-15T13:45:08+00:00

If you can't directly and clearly point to a problem, just make one up. It's the SJW way.

If this place was really as bad as any of them try to make out, they wouldn't need to come here with troll accounts trying to make us look racist, sexist or whatever else. They probably think that their upvoted troll posts, which are upvoted by other trolls, are proof that we really are the way they think we are. If they really think we're all such hateful people, creating troll accounts is the worst way to expose that. They're creating a cover for us "hateful misogynists" to wave away anything too blatantly offensive as just trolling or irony and shooting themselves in the feet.

Space_Ninja · 2014-04-15T15:31:27+00:00

I'm gonna have to call horseshit based on religion and political affiliation.

Atheist, and mostly strong conservative? That doesn't add up.

Give this a look and see if you spot any suspicious patterns: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsASPwogRzA9dHJ1eWNHTjBXZGVUOUowckpnc093Mnc#gid=0

2014-04-15T16:34:33+00:00

Confirmation bias much, Will?

2014-04-15T13:49:08+00:00

All the shit flung at him the 41 year old man by the social justice crowd, you'd think he'd know better then to do this but he's just a feminist for populatority. Such a hypocrite he has no place telling others not to be a dick when he is one all the time.

mycatatemyface · 2014-04-15T14:42:28+00:00

What is that guy's problem? I mean really? Why is he exposing himself so much with that clearly biased infographic. Like seriously. Why do that?

smokeybehr · 2014-04-15T15:13:07+00:00

Sounds like the tumblrinas are at it again.

AlongAustower · 2014-04-15T15:57:36+00:00

well if a movement is mostly white and male then it is automatically wrong. Luckily feminism is mostly white and female

2014-04-15T20:20:16+00:00

This isn't the first jab he's taken at MRA's. I could only speculate what his true issue is with Men's rights...

EJSpurrell · 2014-04-15T20:25:40+00:00

Reading through some of the reblog comments on the retraction.

I've now seen two or three comments that read "I guess it was too good to be true."

These people PREFER we be strong conservative atheist potheads. Faith in humanity waning...

2014-04-15T15:24:00+00:00

You guys are over analyzing this.... I'll keep it simple. It was posted on Tumblr for a reason.

aussiepowerranger · 2014-04-15T11:28:54+00:00

That's strange is only describes two of my characteristics.

souciant · 2014-04-15T12:31:48+00:00

Where was the survey? I'm older than 20 too.

2014-04-15T13:12:12+00:00

Anyone with half a brain can look at the final graph and immediately say "Oh shit something's up".

Damn it Wil, sometimes I like you - sometimes I can't stand you.

SPOCK_THOUGHT_FIRST · 2014-04-15T13:23:54+00:00

A mod should make their own survey and sticky it at the top for a while. I'd honestly be interested in seeing these actual statistics.

TheresanotherJoswell · 2014-04-15T13:41:32+00:00

Surely to survey mensrights, you would need to post here to direct people to the survey.

If there's no post, call bullshit.

JohnPeel · 2014-04-15T15:20:22+00:00

I don't recall ever filling out such a survey.

2014-04-15T15:41:50+00:00

These graphs are so one sided there obviously fake, just to stir up a reaction.

holzy444 · 2014-04-15T16:03:16+00:00

Wow that's pathetic. He cares more about pandering to his fans than he does about his integrity.

BreakfastX · 2014-04-15T16:09:24+00:00

What saddens me the most about this is that he is attempting to minimize a group of people who have likely all experienced real injustice in their lives due to their gender. I feel bad for you, Wil. Considering everything you've been through I really expected you to know better.

totestokes · 2014-04-15T16:15:25+00:00

Lol, I just read a tweet of his about hosting some BBC thing about the show Orphan Black, you know, that show where a wife knocks her husband unconscious with a golf club for no apparent reason as he's trying to walk out the front door, and then ties him up and tortures him with a hot glue gun, only to have him apologize to her, tell her how much he loves her and she is the rock of the family, and then stay with her inexplicably, and none of the 3 or 4 other characters who knew about the torture find that odd...

2014-04-15T17:52:11+00:00

For everyone's information, he posted a retraction on the Tumblr but I don't think it'll really matter; the damage has been done.

God damn it Wesley.

iongantas · 2014-04-15T18:04:19+00:00

Wil Wheaton is a douche. We've done our own survey and it doesn't look like that.

bat_mayn · 2014-04-15T20:14:26+00:00

TIL Wil Wheaton is not worth any of my attention.

2014-04-15T20:39:04+00:00

Ah yes, the mighty MANGINA strikes again!

fack_yo_couch · 2014-04-15T20:50:45+00:00

No wonder Sheldon Cooper hates that guy.

kragshot · 2014-04-15T21:26:47+00:00

Hey...Wil Wheaton...I never saw that damn survey.

I'm 49, African American, an active figure in American fandom, a veteran, husband, survivor of a false rape accusation, and far more connected with reality than you ever will be in your Hollywood, faux-celebrity existence, punk.

So you and your survey can kiss my black ass, you rat soup eating, no-business-doing, bitch-type motherfucker.

cuteman · 2014-04-15T12:34:55+00:00

You guys are looking at this from the wrong angle.

Didn't he just come out with a new show he hopes is successful? Bad time to be trumping up false information.

iethatis · 2014-04-15T09:30:51+00:00

It was rigged, probably by the same people who made the survey.

2014-04-15T12:32:29+00:00

As long as /u/wil does not call out Adele Mercier as a rape apologist, I guess it is all good. /s

TheMuffnMan · 2014-04-15T15:00:33+00:00

Well, there goes any respect I had for /u/wil

modernbenoni · 2014-04-15T10:07:16+00:00

Even if it were true... hows it change any of the issues? It fucking doesn't.

najjhhan · 2014-04-15T13:28:27+00:00

so we all know that this survey is to say the least odd, the irony I find is honestly what did he or anyone else expect to find with questions 1,7 & 8?

I mean really a subreddit majority about discrimination against males holds the opinion that males are discriminated against & is populated by males?

This isn't even on the most basic levels of survey integrity, its just so obviously "confirming my prejudices 101"

warspite88 · 2014-04-15T13:36:00+00:00

lol this guy

slideforlife · 2014-04-15T15:55:12+00:00

Now, now, now... just because he set out to find out something and ... low and behold... HE FOUND IT (!) is no reason to impugn the findings.

"Survey of /r/mensrights turns up pretty much exactly what you’d expect. White, male, 17-20 years-old, and disconnected from reality."

God, what an ignoramus.

iMADEthis2post · 2014-04-15T16:13:57+00:00

Nobody really gives a fuck what Wesley Crusher thinks. I think he just likes making noise so people remember him.

Meistermalkav · 2014-04-15T16:16:22+00:00

... who the heck is will wheaton?

I mean, sorry if I am missing something, but... it seems like one of those posts to me that troll.

if so, I can do a survey of the feminist movement, and without revealing my sources, can predict that a lot of them own cats. Who would have thought it would pan out exactly like I wanted?

Edit: so, will weaton is known for making money by having been in star trek, aND IS MOSTLY KNOWN WRITING THINGS THAT BORDER ON FANTASY 7 SCI FI; BUT WITH A SOAP OPERA TWIST?

And HE is calling ANYBODY removed from reality?

Lol'ed. Hard.

awwwwyehmutherfurk · 2014-04-15T16:34:51+00:00

This guy was the worst thing about my favourite show, whiny, annoying, couldn't act for shit, was made into a god in the show (and in real life if you look at his fanbase) for some reason. I literally could not care any less about his opinion. He could actually be agreeing with me about something, and I still would not care.

ametalshard · 2014-04-15T16:51:03+00:00

I literally just posted a story about this about 2 days ago, but a mod on this sub had it removed for no reason whatsoever.

The exact same story except that it was posted earlier and not by Wil Wheaton.

http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/22xfop/everydayfeminismcom_staff_writer_not_mentioning/

Explanation is in the comments, and you can find out more just by looking for the original poster through the tumblr link provided on my original post.

JayFTL · 2014-04-16T01:19:35+00:00

He took it down.

"Turns out that /r/mensrights survey I posted yesterday was rigged, and the person who set it up has withdrawn the whole thing. So … now you know."

Apology? Nary a trace. Idiocy? Rampant.

Theophagist · 2014-04-15T13:33:49+00:00

Whiteknight Will at it again huh? That cock sucker has his head so far up his ass you would need a teleporter to get it out. And to think how many people his character inspired to get into science.

As a man who grew up with TNG, I could not be more disappointed. Sad to say I've heard similar neofem rhetoric from Patrick Stewart.

zbot68 · 2014-04-15T13:53:04+00:00

The legitimacy is directly correlated to Mr. Wheaton's acting ability and relevance. So, squat.

nicholmikey · 2014-04-15T14:51:07+00:00

/u/wil why!

Also, strong con? yeah right...

2014-04-15T16:16:20+00:00

/u/wil is a snitch eunuch. Nothing new here. We should never give any weight to anything a celebrity or musician says. Why do we care about who they think I should vote for? Why do I care about what cause they support? Because he was on that thing I liked?

Btw: did any one answer OPs question? Where did this survey come from?

Juls2500 · 2014-04-15T14:17:15+00:00

Why don't we actually do a survey like this that isn't tampered with?

woodsywoods · 2014-04-15T15:46:43+00:00

wtf... when was I polled onthis?

2014-04-15T15:50:07+00:00

So this Wil Wheaton must be a real piece of garbage.

konoplya · 2014-04-15T16:03:08+00:00

who the fuck is wil wheaton and why should i care?

2014-04-15T16:07:30+00:00

So the overwhelming majority that identify as strong conservative also overwhelmingly support marijuana legalization... right

2014-04-15T16:07:53+00:00

Why does anyone care what wil wheaton has to say?

electricalnoise · 2014-04-15T16:38:51+00:00

Someone should do a new survey with the exact same questions and have the current tally automatically posted hourly.

MerfAvenger · 2014-04-15T17:28:07+00:00

First things first; I haven't seen this on the thread yet: http://youtu.be/bUWXjs2jPQI?t=13s

Secondly; how has noone outside of this sub even considered that there are almost exactly 2500 extra incidences of the typical "weed smoking teen conservative"!? in each of the suspect areas. 2500 extra whites, 2500 extra consertaves, 2500 extra atheists. There would have to be some sort of variation.

Thirdly; Wheaton, you have lost all my respect now. Congrats.

Edit: Clearer argument.

2014-04-15T18:29:01+00:00

Not only was his character Wesley an annoying shitkid, he's not much better himself. Ugh.

spacedogg · 2014-04-15T19:38:38+00:00

White knighter

samus1225 · 2014-04-15T19:48:14+00:00

i really find it hard to believe that such a large majority of 17-20 year olds are strongly conservative. i find it even harder to believe that such a large percentage of any group on reddit are strong conservatives, save for the ones on specifically conservative subreddits. furthermore, i always imagined the biggest portion of reddit would be the 18-20 year olds from 2008 who are now 24-26 year olds.

SweetSonOfABitch · 2014-04-15T20:26:34+00:00

The only response this deserves

adorkable93 · 2014-04-15T20:54:06+00:00

When was this survey taken? And where for that matter?
I refuse to believe I'm one of only 40 women on here...
The question "Which of the following issues do you support?", why can you only pick one? Does supporting gay marriage mean I'm pro-life now?

This "survey" is ridiculous. And I thought Wil Wheaton was smart... :(

Rabbit_TAO · 2014-04-15T21:27:40+00:00

His reaction after a careful analysis

7hunderpants · 2014-04-15T21:32:39+00:00

Wil Weston is a mangina , do not listen to him.

Aerobus · 2014-04-15T21:57:30+00:00

Lost it at 83% strong conservative. No way that describes reddit.

oshout · 2014-04-15T22:05:02+00:00

Wil lost a lot of my respect - he's been harping blindly on MR for about a year.

He used to be one of the few I liked on FB and followed on G.plus, but I've removed him after reading his pigeon holing of mensrights. I roll my eyes when I see him on TBBT now, what a jackass.

2014-04-16T01:49:39+00:00

Damn. I feel like i just got slapped by an idol. I'm honestly crushed that he's done this, it's such a lie.

Crimson_D82 · 2014-04-16T06:54:57+00:00

I don't take anything this guy says seriously. The height of his career was acting as himself; a know it all awkward loser. His legacy is basically "Won't someone please shut this damn kid up!?"

Watermelon_Salesman · 2014-04-16T15:41:54+00:00

I'm 33, male, white, independent, agnostic, in favor of all the causes in purple except increased gun control. Men have it worse in some areas, women in others. Problem is men's disadvantages aren't talked about at all, whereas we are all getting sick and tired of hearing about women's issues.

giegerwasright · 2014-04-16T15:45:06+00:00

Remember what I said the last time I had to smack down Wil Wheaton.

He is the stereotypical privileged white male that the feminists are always railing about. He loves the idea of having less empowered males, especially white heterosexual ones, to throw under the bus while he keeps collecting those checks and dividends (speaking of dividends, if little Willy is such a saint, let's see what companies his investment portfolio contributes to and relies on. Anyone wanna bet there are some problematic and oppressive companies in there? I do.). Of course he's going to salivate at the idea of a brigaded survey to back up his erroneous dismissal.

Problem is, this shit is working less and less for him and the only reason he recanted is because it was impossible to ignore or deny just how stupid and blatant his dismissal has become. He never believed it in the first place. He just had to admit it this time. Wait for next time...

His 15 mins of fame are over. He'll do anything for an extra few seconds. Even guest star on a show as horrible as BBT. Ignore the clown.

2014-04-15T17:27:57+00:00

Jesus, I always thought Wil was a complete tool, but this proves it.

Having been in Star Trek is no longer an excuse Wil.

Mrmojoman0 · 2014-04-15T17:54:23+00:00

and i thought the old survey was unreliable.

love how in 9 months conservatives moved from the least represented to the overwhelmingly most represented.

haven't seen such fudged numbers since a DPRK election.

analt223 · 2014-04-15T16:27:45+00:00

I love when mid 30s to mid 40s men act like they are in touch with fresh out of high school/early college aged men.

The facts are, younger men in this country (17 to mid 20s) are very underrepresented in almost all forms of societal leadership. The only avenue where we are over represented is sports (and it is by a large amount), and deaths in Iraq/Afghanistan. But you wonder why there are so many "sports bros" out there these days? Because its the only place that makes room for young men, that is entertaining.

I turn on the news (MSNBC, FOX, CNN or local), its all 40+ year old men and young women. I watch a movie and its the sexy older man with his younger 20 something hot girl. Colleges and universities are older men making rules to get "on the good side" with young women.

When I say this to my Dad, he always just says "thats the way its always been, men have to deal with it". Well, women were always relegated to teaching, nursing, or being a secretary if they wanted a career. That's not fair is it? Generation Y is the first generation where just about all legislation and social groups were to help girls out, and boys got screwed over hard. Now generation Y(early 80s to early 90s births) are entering our 20s and 30s, and ya.....we have the right to be pissed off.

Good god he's so pathetic, he's caught by lies becauses he's so eager to hate and stir other people into hate and can't even apologises properly....again so much for "Don't be a dick", if your an irrelevant "star" it's fine to be a childish pratt.

July29thPrattDay.

Seriously hope people stop giving him cameos, maybe they can hand everyone they'd give to him to Felicia Day, surely he can't have a problem with that, right?

VortexCortex · 2014-04-15T14:41:20+00:00

This sums up my thoughts on all things Wil Wheaton.

masterdingo · 2014-04-15T16:03:59+00:00

I didn't take the poll, but I'm fairly sure that there are more than 14 other forty year olds on here. Also, I'm Independent, pro-choice, I support everyone of the issues listed, etc.

I don't think that I'm that far removed from my brothers on the sub. If I am, I'm honestly very happy that we all seem to get along so well.

djrocksteady · 2014-04-15T16:11:30+00:00

This is also skewed by being a selection of the reddit audience, which does not have a normal distribution of any of these qualities/categories.

I feel like Wil would say ANYTHING that his followers would agree with. This is such a pussy thing to do. What a douche.

32, M, Independent here.

See-9 · 2014-04-15T17:57:20+00:00

And to think, I used to be a fan of Wil Wheaton. I even have one of his books.

sigh - Welp, who's ready for a bon fire?

life036 · 2014-04-15T18:02:28+00:00

Damn it Wil, everyone said you were cool.

logic11 · 2014-04-15T18:23:31+00:00

So... 40, extremely left wing, but yeah, I'm white, male, and an atheist. Also pro pot legalization even though I don't partake

Bobarhino · 2014-04-15T18:24:09+00:00

I didn't see disconnected from reality in the form of a question.

Goatsac · 2014-04-15T18:40:32+00:00

Wil Wheaton needs to choke. It's been the case for a while.

Not choke so bad he dies, just enough that he learns a lesson.

saltytrey · 2014-04-15T18:58:02+00:00

Pot smoking, atheist conservative. That's a guy who can't decide whether or not to attend and support the GOP national convention or go to Burning Man. In other words, he doesn't exist.

circuitology · 2014-04-15T19:08:59+00:00

How could anyone see this (link) and believe these results are legitimate?

I don't even. Just some more shit we will have to deal with whenever a smug looking moron bring it up as 'evidence' against the MRHM.

kaluh_glarski · 2014-04-15T19:21:22+00:00

Can't we just take the spreadsheet with all the untarnished data and remake these graphs?

nr1988 · 2014-04-15T19:44:21+00:00

Should we have a survey ourselves? Would it even matter? I can tell you at least I doesn't fit with most of those answers

lenspirate · 2014-04-15T20:02:02+00:00

Wow, I am in almost none of those categories. So, is it safe to ignore me too, Wil?

I used to respect him. Forget that now.

2014-04-15T20:47:47+00:00

I say the mods host a legitimate survey, because his one... Well

Something smells fucky

zap283 · 2014-04-15T21:05:08+00:00

What we don't support gay marriage? My bad. I forgot gay men's issues aren't men's issues.

Durgals · 2014-04-15T21:37:07+00:00

Maybe we could do an actual poll? Show him up with facts. Invite him to vote, or even co-count votes. Live stream it, like a telethon.

funnyfaceking · 2014-04-15T21:42:53+00:00

Did he take it down?

miaSissy · 2014-04-15T22:11:15+00:00

I wish I had enough time in a day to spend to make an info graphic. Guess I am not a rich biased child star.

P.s.: I love Star Trek but always thought the Will character was just too god damn straight ace for my own liking. His character was always just to much of a suck up.

TheBrohemian · 2014-04-15T22:24:39+00:00

This tells me nothing without comparing it to r/feminism or a comparable subreddit, even if it is legitimate.

FruitierGnome · 2014-04-15T22:27:22+00:00

Just because they get a lot of attention doesn't mean celebrities are intelligent.

jpflathead · 2014-04-15T22:59:02+00:00

I am curious - I must have missed it.

Where is the original /r/MensRights thread opening this poll?

man_and_machine · 2014-04-15T23:34:32+00:00

I'd be really curious to see a legitimate survey of this subreddit. I've always gotten the impression that the userbase of this subreddit was widely stratified, but I'd like to see just how much, and in which areas the most.

Ocinea · 2014-04-15T23:55:22+00:00

Man, I liked Wil Wheaton for twenty fucking years. He posts this vitriol and I lost any and all respect I ever had for him.

Go back to Far point station ya prick.

If he acknowledges he was wrong I MIGHT forgive him. Still

KngpinOfColonProduce · 2014-04-16T00:51:02+00:00

There is also a problem with the "which of the following issues do you support" part. The percentage shown is out of the total points all the issues got, rather than what percentage of people voted for a given issue.

Let me put this another way: hypothetically, imagine everyone polled voted for every single issue. Then each issue would show 14% (1/7, as there are 7 issues), not 100%.

TheDongerNeedsFood · 2014-04-16T01:00:29+00:00

2 things:

1. This is really too bad since I've always liked Will Wheaton

2. I don't remember ever seeing this survey

deaduponaviral · 2014-04-16T02:56:18+00:00

hahaha labels

johnmarkley · 2014-04-16T06:59:20+00:00

This is a shame. I used to really like Wheaton, but I guess he's made it pretty clear how he feels about people like me.

ZANY_ALL_CAPS_NAME · 2014-04-16T09:23:09+00:00

Wow. I actually really liked hwil hweaton as an actor and as a person before. But this, this just makes me lose all respect for him.

pooinetopantelonimoo · 2014-04-16T14:23:31+00:00

Shall we set up a legitimate poll?

2014-04-16T18:48:14+00:00

What an idiot.

2014-04-16T19:22:07+00:00

Who gives a fuck? Know what the best countries to live in in the world are? White ones. Does that make me a racist? Simply because we're primarily, allegedly, young white men, makes our discussions invalid? Fuck that kid.

KillJoy575 · 2014-04-17T03:45:07+00:00

Wow, sabotage.

uberpower · 2014-04-15T15:08:23+00:00

Either Wil corrects himself and links previous non-sabotaged surveys, or he is a dick.

He's been a dick for a long time. I started really hating him when he tweeted Fuck the NRA. However his terrible acting on TNG was a show-ruiner.

Fallout · 2014-04-15T17:30:53+00:00

Just messaged this to /u/wil, you guys may want to do the same until he pays attention:

Hey Wil,

I just saw your tumblr post about the /r/mensrights demographic poll and wanted to inform you that there is quite a lot of potential that the poll was sabotaged by a group such as shitredditsays or againstmensrights, which have been known in the past to vote brigade. I wouldn't put it past them to sabotage a poll, and I wouldn't put it past 4chan either, they just love to stir the pot when it comes to things like this, and ruining polls and creating drama are 4chan's kinda thing.

Now, if you look at a poll from 9 months ago, results of the recent poll at an earlier stage and the poll timestamps around the time it started being sabotaged [source] (look from row 443 onwards too) then you'll see a pattern emerging. Also it doesn't take much brains to notice that the demographics of teenage, pot-smoking, atheist strong conservatives don't really intersect.

I know it's impossible to check every fact before posting, but in this case you're lucky you have your fans to check them for you. I watch all your stuff and appreciate you're quite a big name and have a lot of followers. I'm just a bit disappointed that you've now gone and given entirely the wrong impression to a bunch of your followers. It'd be great if you could take the post down and post some kind of apology / correction, because currently even the /r/mensrights community is confused as to what is happening.

stools · 2014-04-15T15:29:10+00:00

Wil Wheaton sounds like a totally reasonable and responsible human being.

Tastysalad101 · 2014-04-15T15:43:43+00:00

Obviously fake.

rg57 · 2014-04-15T22:37:08+00:00

Wil Wheaton is a feminist, aka a liar.

But he's not a good liar (why bother when all his fans eat up his lies?).

Look at the final chart, which clearly shows someone attempting to rig the internet poll on 4/11/14.

By the way, ... it's an internet poll. None of them are trustworthy, even regarding their own area of the internet.

Wil Wheaton is most likely a fan of Pharyngula, and would surely know this already, through personal experience in manipulating polls.

slvdr · 2014-04-15T22:06:29+00:00

Stay strong white man, we know you have it tough.

longshot · 2014-04-15T13:50:51+00:00

What?! I can't hear you guys over all the echoing going on.
