This week's poll, suggested by F_J, is very similar to one we did a couple of months ago. Instead of scandals or controversies though, the focus is on morality or the agenda the author is trying to push.

Choices:
Yes - votes: 586 (19%)
No - votes: 2506 (81%)
There were 3092 total votes.
The poll ended: December 19th 2021

Could one argue that the mass media is already creating a lower form of collective consciousness?

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Possible side effects of joining a collective or hive mind

• Instant communication
• Community
• Sense of purpose
• Loss of individuality
• Loss of free will
• Mutual trust

Resistance is futile.

Sorry, forgot fishing pole. And South Pole isn't an option because the North is objectively better since that's where Santa lives

This fun little poll was suggested by oddlyy. There's nothing serious about it.

Wow, almost 50/50! Somehow this poll got more forum comments than the recent polls about offensive speech and artistic controversies

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. You know all those 4X games where you control the world or a civilization? Would you want to do that in real life?

Deaf - votes: 2970 (89.6%)
Blind - votes: 344 (10.4%)
There were 3314 total votes.

So mute > deaf > blind

The "mute" option so overwhelming won that it's not interesting, so we're redoing the poll without that option. Now struggle with your choices.

Simple poll suggested by FeaRimbor. He didn't originally include mute as an option (probably because it doesn't seem as detrimental), but I wanted to go with the theme of the three wise monkeys.

No one gave suggestions for a poll for cancel culture, so I won't do it. And I might end up banning some people from the forums

I came up with this week's poll. There was some interest in doing a poll related to cancel culture, but I need assistance in what the exact question and the poll options should be.

Pretty good split, I'd say

This week's poll was suggested by Transdude1996. Of the series you're presently consuming, are you mostly keeping up with new releases? Or are you binging series that have already been completed?

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Should an artist's scandals and/or controversies change opinions about their works (e.g., Bill Cosby, Michael Jackson, Tatsuya Matsuki, Nobuhiro Watsuki)?
Choices:
No, the key to art is how it affects those experiencing it so it's separate from the artist - votes: 1966 (66.6%)
Yes, art is an expression of the individual so who they are and what they do matters - votes: 985 (33.4%)
There were 2951 total votes.
The poll ended: October 23rd 2021

I'm tempted to do a poll about cancel culture

This week's rather serious poll was suggested by jacob66. If an artist is involved in some scandal or controversy, does that affect how you view their works? For manga examples, there's MATSUKI Tatsuya and ACT-AGE and WATSUKI Nobuhiro and Rurouni Kenshin.

I'm curious if MangaDex has public stats on what settings users have
