This week's poll was sparked by something the user marchRy suggested, but I didn't like the question he posed, so I came up with something myself.
You can submit poll ideas here

Previous Poll Results:
Question: How do you feel about racist content in manga?
Choices:
I feel indifferent - votes: 1165 (29.1%)
It's kind of funny/interesting, because Japan seems to come up with very unique stereotypes - votes: 653 (16.3%)
It's a little shocking, but I understand that Japanese racial humor tends to be different from the rest of the world - votes: 748 (18.7%)
It's as offensive as racist content found anywhere else - votes: 1440 (35.9%)
There were 4006 total votes.
The poll ended: September 14th 2019
Sparked about as much debate as I expected it would

Pessimist, mostly. I can occasionally be optimistic, but this world is overall too damn crappy to set much stock on sweet things like "hope."

What a poll that was. We all learned a valuable lesson that week. The Holocaust was in us all along.
I mentally prepare for the worst to never be blindsided while wishing for the best, so in the middle it is. Don´t be an actual negative nancy though. Nobody likes those and a bit of hardship in life won´t kill you either unless it´s deadly. Adversity can build character. It sure molded me.

Up until a year ago, I'd say optimist.
Now...
Pessimist.
Also cynic.

I try to be an optimistic realist. Most of the time I end up being cynical though. So yeah, I think the middle ground will suit me just fine 😛

Oh hey! I like doing that, too. When I first heard about it, it was summed up as "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" and it stuck with me.

In the middle, I guess? Usually I don’t speculate much about outcomes I’m not able to predict.

If it's too much for you to face at the current place and time. Certainly makes sense.
You can't grow without challenges and adversity, but too much of something can break a person, too. Maybe not completely, but certainly some parts 🙁
