I am assuming the only reason it was accepted is because the corresponding author is a professor at an ivy league school and probably knows the head editor.

If I draw a trend line through a buckshot pattern it's making poo poo up, but if I run it through a computer and it draws a trend line, that's data analysis.

The main advantage of the Yellow/Amber/Red warning scale is that sometimes we get the Met Office issuing, with an entirely straight face, a Yellow Snow Warning

Not exactly terrible but for the sake of clarity I would probably have grouped those differently

They really ought to have grouped the bars by participant's gender and then color-coded the preferences rather than the other way around.

The annoying thing is another graph in the article does that! So it's just more confusing. This one tracks the average age of people in each category.

i was hoping for more on the metholody b/c there's also a significant difference between having a preference in a game where female and male presenting characters are options (like mass effect) or having a preference across games (i do/don't seek out and play games with women as protagonists). the fact that nb characters are even an option in the poll is a bit wild

Some of the newer games will let you pick they pronouns, and some games just don't clearly portray the character's gender.

It's weird that Forza Horizon 5 was the first game that came to mind with that, but I guess it makes sense given that the "story" mostly revolves around people talking at you and telling you that you did a good job when you win.

Pyre and I Was A Teenage Exocolonist let you be nonbinary off the top of my head - Exocolonist has an androgynous-looking protagonist whose appearance doesn't change with your gender options, and Pyre's protagonist isn't given an appearance at all. There's also Wildermyth, but there no one character represents you so I'm not sure how that would play into the stats they're counting.

Saints Row's gender slider was such a big step forward, it was a drat shame they rolled it back to a binary choice for 3 and onward

Yeah it was definitely played for wacky laughs, but if they weren't cowards they could've just stuck with it, and in future games it could just be a way to make your character nonconforming without making a big deal of it. Could've even potentially started a trend, and even if SR never approached it properly, someone else might've
