This week's poll was suggested by Akemi Mokoto. We've actually done similar polls back in 2014 and 2016, and the majority said that they should not be banned. I reworded the question slightly to emphasize the sexual content and see if that makes a difference.

Survival of the fittest? Or will ethics dictate things?
This week's poll is a bit morbid especially with Christmas coming up, but it just happens to be next poll that caught my interest. How detestable is cannibalism to you?

Why do 10% of you read so much manga?
This week's poll was suggested by vivant. How many weekly series do you regularly read? We'll define "regularly" as a series that you will new chapters before the next chapter comes out. So you're not binge reading, but you're reading them as they come out.

This is the exact same poll we did back in 2014, but online readers have really taken off. Let's see how the results go!

The more fantastical job that doesn't exist in the real world
This week's poll was my own, but it was prompted by something that jacob66 suggested. We actually did a similar poll back in 2013, but isekai has gained a lot of popularity since then, so we'll see how this poll goes. I did reduce the choices to the classic trio though

You are the chosen one. Oh wait, wrong topic
This classic problem was proposed as a poll by jacob66. I had to shorten the text a bit because the database text field is too short...

Why can't it just end? (referring to the US elections)
This is a rather odd question asked by vivant. Of the 6 basic questions, which one annoys you the most? Maybe it's about you asking that question to the world. Or perhaps it's your reaction to getting asked that question by your child?

Doesn't make for a good story if there's no challenge, right?
I took a suggestion from jacob66 and simplified it. Should there be a single government that controls all of humanity? You could look at examples in science fiction such as the Hegemony in the Ender's Game universe (Enderverse) by Orson Scott Card, or the Atreides Empire in Dune by Frank Herbert. Or instead of spanning the universe, or the Federation in Star Trek. Maybe it could be just a global government that's united against an alien threat. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head that's outside the realm of science fiction...

Better safe than sorry?
jacob66 gives some good poll suggestions. For the scenario, just imagine you've already won a good amount of money (like $50k USD) and you're potentially doubling it.
