Poll Result
Dec. 22nd, 2006 11:24 amAlmost two weeks ago, I posted a poll about various fictional characters' sexual orientations. What I was curious about wasn't so much the actual answers (I already know what I think about that), but the variation in the answers. How similarly (or not) people see the characters.
The character with the least variation of opinion on was Buffy Summers, and by and large you people seem to think that that girl is pretty much straight. She got an average Kinsey number of 0.95 with a standard deviation of 0.59.
Second least variation had Vala Mal Doran, who consensus thinks is pretty much bisexual at an average of 2.64.
In third place is Tara McClay, who at an average of 5.25 is even gayer than Buffy is straight.
I think the variation here matches my interpretations of the source material quite well, actually.
The three characters with the least consensus were Sam Carter, Callisto and Gabrielle, in that order. They get averages of 2.07, 3.6 and 4.18 with standard deviations of 1.65, 1.62 and 1.38, respectively. Callisto I can understand. She doesn't really fit on this scale, since Hudson Leick quite convincingly played her as not mentally healthy. Callisto is obsessed with Xena, and nobody else is interesting to her (this, by the way, makes it fairly hard to write convincing Callisto slash). For the other two, I'm surprised that Sam got such a high average, and I wonder if the people who think that Gabrielle is even a little bit straight were watching the same show I was.
The three least gay characters according to the poll are Rose Tyler (0.89 average), Buffy Summers (0.95) and Laura Roslin (1.71). The three gayest ones were Tara McClay (5.25), Gabrielle (4.18) and Willow (4.05).
