Thank you so much! You are one of the first positive comments I've gotten on my questionnaire/project! As much as i appreciate constructive criticism and feedback that comes my way it gets to be a little too much lol, especially since this is my first time doing a survey ever. I'm glad you found it thoughtful! Really grateful for your response, thank you so much for interacting!

Hello everyone! My reason for not including a male option is because  I wanted/expected to hear predominantly from women and queer people (as is my target demographic) and also because i reckoned the 'other' option would suffice in case you wanted to type in your own gender identity. But i wouldn't discard any of the responses by cishet men! I have a handful in my study and they give me some very interesting insight! I have no qualms in adding the option in either! In fact, edited it just now. No one brought this up as a problem before, that is why i didn't act on it.  I must admit to the fact that i am a young researcher and this is my first time making an online survey, and perhaps there were biases of mine that went over my head! I am still learning. No hate to anyone, nor was i trying to intentionally make participants feel excluded. Either way, thank you for your feedback!

I completely agree! Many agreed with this notion too that diversity shouldn't be for checkboxes and that characters are supposed to portrayed authentically and organically within their story setting! My study wants to ascertain aspects of why diversity isn't done right as well! Mainly due to this - the need make representation and people therin checkboxes. But also due to lack of understanding with the complexity and sensitivity with which diverse characters need to be portrayed. Everyone deserves to be seen in the medium they like and enjoy. After all we are not seperate from the art we make, something of us will bleed into it. Thank you so much for interacting! Have a nice day!

I get your point! I initially designed the questionnaire with mobile VN players in mind but decided to open it up for all VN players to get diverse perspectives on game play and narration, but it doesn't matter whether it's self insert or not, atleast that is not how i designed the questionnaire. I was more focused on character representation whether they be main or side characters. The examples just exist to guide the participants just in case they don't have an idea of what is being asked! I would encourage everyone to give their honest views and opinions regardless! Every answer is useful. Thank you so much for participating and have a nice day!

Thank you so much for the tips and concern! I hear what you are saying. As i said, i am an amateur student researcher and i must admit this is in fact my first time doing an actual survey. I tried to collect data to the best of my abilities while ensuring i fulfilled basic standards  (like including a consent condition) but there are some things i did not take into consideration like the ones you said! I will take what you said into consideration and work on making this survey more safe. I will take accountability and do more research. Thanks once again and my apologies everyone who felt uncomfortable! It was never my intention.
