On my upcoming survey, I will ask the following question:

Are you a furry?
Yes, definitely
Yes, but I am in denial
Maybe, I am furry adjacent
No, but my interests overlap with furries
No, not at all

I will consider these results, respectively, to represent a person being 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% furry. Resolves to the average furriness of respondents. If it's exactly on the boundary between two bins, both bins resolve to 50%.

See Plasma's Manifold Survey for other questions about the survey.

A couple months ago, I started writing a survey of Manifold users, inspired by a similar one run by Pat Scott. After being open for a full month, from Sept. 7 to Oct. 7, the survey has finally concluded, with a total of 168 respondents. I already wrote

@JosephNoonan @evergreenemily See??? Not entirely a hell website!

It needs an "I don't know what furry means" option for the dinosaurs like me 🦖

@Odoacre I assumed from your pfp that you probably were a furry. Though if you don't know what one is, that means you're probably not, at least not fully. You could still be furry-adjacent.

@JosephNoonan I'm not sure I understand the concept of furry. I've tried reading up on it and I don't think I am, but I don't think I really get it either. My pfp is fluid and does not have any true relationship with my identity. It used to be a picture of my cat, but then I changed it to an AI generated image just in case someone could recognise me from my cat.

Yes, but I am in denial

What state of mind do you have to be in to give this answer?

@Shelvacu Presumably, someone who claims not to be a furry, or at least doesn't affirmatively adopt the label, but deep down knows that they really are one. Or someone who uses some technicality to say that they're not a furry but still has too strong of an interest in anthropomorphic animals to really be considered "not a furry".

The existence of this question might affect how furry Manifold is:

Busted

Furries kinda make the internet run, so I would expect high numbers

@LivInTheLookingGlass it's true!

Maybe I should have split the bins up differently. I was assuming that furries would be overrepresented on Manifold due to a combination of Manifold having lots of tech-workers and nerds, as well as fact that I've seen multiple users who are open about being furries, but maybe I didn't adjust enough. I think the scale I'm using probably also pushes the percentage higher because even if someone isn't a furry, they can still be counted as partially furry.
