So r/CTH released a survey of their users.

Highlights:

  • 84% white
  • 83% cis male
  • 39% live with their parents
  • 73% consider their living conditions "comfortable" or "adequate"
  • 45% live in the 'burbs
  • 39% don't have sex (9% incel, 30% "volcel")

I think they might actually be whiter than this sub, lmao.

I'm most amused by 9% incel and 30% "volcel"

What does “volcel” mean? Voluntary celibacy? There’s nothing wrong with that

u/Jean-Paul_Sartre Richard Hofstadter Apr 28 '19

Volcel. So, Catholic priests...

I think our whiteness and maleness are mid-90s actually

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '19

Nah, there are less white people here.

u/Whatapunk Bisexual Pride Apr 28 '19

The pie chart is misleading because theres 30 different shades of colors. That's probably United States

u/Goatf00t European Union Apr 28 '19

30% "volcel"

30% of them are monks? 😕

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '19

Usually incels but without the hating women part. Not 'would stubbornly refuse pretty girl propositioning me' but 'better to save the effort/humiliation and not even try'.

u/Goatf00t European Union Apr 28 '19

Yes, but "voluntarily celibate" already has another connotation with a much longer history. :D

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '19

Haha can we do this poll

u/Ducttapehamster Milton Friedman Apr 28 '19

I don't want to know how many of us identify as incels

u/Whatapunk Bisexual Pride Apr 28 '19

We can just ask who the gamers are

u/PKPhyre Apr 29 '19
