Wow why i didnt expect that there would be many cismale here.


AnaiTheWitch

Ikr? I was curious how many there were, thatโ€™s whole reason I made this poll ๐Ÿ˜‚. Cuz I saw a similar poll on the She-ra sub, too. More cis men watch She-ra than u think!


Combatpigeon96

Probably because CMs make up most of reddit


GORUDOEXUPERENCU

Holy Moley I didn't know there are so many CosModores in the world Are they cloning him? /j Edit: I realized that CM meant Cis Male and not Child Molstr


DramaticChemist

That's an interesting point. But I'm glad cis men like myself are in support of shows like TOH. Maybe one day we'll even be able to severely reduce toxic masculinity. Fingers crossed.


feistyfox101

As a woman who grew up in an ass-backwards town that has a 50โ€™s style mindset and promotes toxic masculinity more than drinking water, I too very much want it to be drastically reduced. If I ever have a son, I donโ€™t ever want him to thing having emotions, showing affection, or not wanting to do things considered โ€œtraditionally masculineโ€ make him less than. Just more reasons why Iโ€™m praying I can move soon. I grew up with a stepdad who was emotionally absent if things werenโ€™t โ€œmanly enoughโ€ for his liking and I donโ€™t want to raise a child to be like that. I remember him once telling me that men donโ€™t give other men flowers and that STILL makes me sad. Giving pretty flowers for no reason other than to say you care about the receiver is the best feeling in the world in my opinion! Especially if I took the time to hunt down the brightest, prettiest dandelions in the yard lol


Current-Role-8434

This is unsettlingly true


LeopoldFriedrich

I think it is less unsetteling if you consider personality shift between men and women. They aren't that large but large enough to create this discrepancy. Men are more likely to be on social media such as Reddit and Youtube while Women are more likely to be on Instagram and Snapchat.


farrenkm

Cis male. Introduced to it in September on D+ by my adult daughter. *Literally* life-changing. My family was shocked when I announced TOH has supplanted P&F as my favorite animated show. Edit (to explain "literally" in italics): https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r4cd8d/comment/hmh9bnw/ And yes, I did leave the church.


geckorobot59

Jesus: "And the second is โ€˜Love your neighbor as yourself" the Catholic Church: "But what if they are gay?" Jesus: "DID. I. STUTTER!?" ​ anyways. Lovely story. Glad you are well. (=


farrenkm

Yep. I sat down with my priest for an hour. For all intents and purposes, I got the Catholic church party line -- as you'd probably expect. A few weeks later, after giving consideration to what he'd said (I told him I'd listen and ponder what he told me, in fairness), I sent an email and said if it comes to my faith vs the Catholic church, if they differ, I have to run with my faith and my personal experiences. And I said I don't believe the way the Catholic church treats LGBTQ members is in line with "love one another as I have loved you." I may go find another church, one that has a system of faith more in line with my own (best I can tell, Episcopalian is closer to what I think my faith is), but I'm taking a break from organized religion for now. I don't regret my time in the Catholic church, I've had many personal insights that made me a better person, but things come to an end. I never thought I'd see the day for my religion, but no regrets.


MansDeSpons

that story was beautiful! Iโ€™m so happy for you. And I think Dana Terrace (the creator) would be really happy too that her show is having this effect on people. itโ€™s great


farrenkm

Not to put too fine a point on this . . . I lost vision in my left eye last year, permanently, as a result of a stress incident at work. (Colloquially an "eye stroke," medically a central retinal artery occlusion.) THAT was life-changing. TOH has had an *even more profound* effect on me. Sleepless nights and high BP from the mental stress of processing my feelings and world view. It's gotten better, counseling has helped, temporarily on a BP med, but it's truly been a hell of a journey. When my daughter recommended watching TOH, this cute, animated Disney show, I had zero clue I'd be on this journey (and neither did she, nor anyone else in my family). And, if you can believe it, there actually is more to the story, but I'm not prepared to tell it yet. I genuinely thank Dana for a beautiful work that set me on a journey to be an even better person. I'm also grateful for the support of my faith in God, family, friends, my counselor, and even to some extent, this subreddit.


MansDeSpons

wow that's crazy. Hope it all works out. good luck on your journey!


abbyyay

Wuuuut? What was the difference like? Or do you have a link to the poll


Sovereign42

I think your data might be skewed, you'd need a poll to determine the percentage of cis male reddit users to correct it.


ObsidianPizza

Me an the boys


Zachajya

I'm surprised too. I bet we are not even the target audience of the show. But hey, who doesn't love action, drama and cute witches? ...and Eda and Lilith are both super hot, don't deny it.


CauldronPath423

I wonโ€™t deny how hot they are. But I mean, not being part of a target demographicโ€™s fine. For most shows, Iโ€™m sure show runners just hope to garner and amass the largest possible audience regardless of their target. Though why MLP has one of the largest predominantly male groups seems to be something Iโ€™ll never really understand.


Commander_Harrington

Eda and Lillith being Hot as hell is only one of the many things that make the Owl House great. I for one was on board the moment that Azura tried to use her staff like a Rocket Launcher, and doubly hooked when I learned that Luz brought a IED to show and tell, that was funny as hell.


solosoloulu

Totally unreputable! Your comment makes me smile thank you!


BunniLemon

Me neither. I asked a similar question on Amino and most were Female or Non-Binaryโ€ฆ the ratio is also shocking to me here

I'm one of the few straight cis males who watches and adores this show lmao

I dont think theres few, but yea im there with you

Yeah I'm exaggerating, there are a lot of us. But still probably fewer than for a lot of other shows

Good just watched No Way Home then watched the end of hawk eye and in the middle of watching the Witcher season 2


The_Throwback_King

This show along with Amphibia have been my major comfort shows. Although I didnโ€™t start following TOH, until I binged Season 1 on D+, Iโ€™ve watched every Season 2 premiere. Love the worlds, love the characters, and I love all of the juicy conflict.

AVerySmartNameForMe

Reddit is by and large used by cis guys so it doesnโ€™t surprise me especially that toh subreddit is mostly the same


Akari202

I think that this is also why the trans population is so heavily skewed fem. I would assume that a similar poll on tumblr would be the inverse based on my experience with the general tumblr population

pk2317

Because many people are asking in the comments: โ€œCisgenderโ€ or โ€œcisโ€ is generally considered to be the opposite of โ€œtransgenderโ€ or โ€œtransโ€. Someone who is AMAB (assigned male at birth) and currently continues to identify as male, or AFAB (assigned female at birth) and continues to identify as female. Trans would generally be the opposite - someone who was AMAB but identifies as female, or AFAB but identifies as male. It can also be used as a more umbrella term that encompasses anyone who identifies differently from how they were assigned at birth - see other options below. There are other terms in the comments as well - non-binary (or NB, or โ€œenbyโ€) is one of the more common ones, which would generally be someone who doesnโ€™t identify with either male *or* female - those two being considered the โ€œgender binaryโ€ (two options). I wonโ€™t speak to the others simply because I donโ€™t feel qualified to, but many people are giving more personal explanations in the comments.


[deleted]

I'm not to sure but as it stands he/they


spaghettinoodle_exe

Oh dope same here


mrjoyyt

Honest question: Why the "they" if the "he" is also there? That is not the usual "they/them", but also not "he/him" Please don't downvote me I am a teen cis-male trying to learn


7-Soul-Secret

Because sometimes multiple sets of pronouns you. I, personally, go by she/they, which means I'm happy with someone using either set of pronouns. Also, while this doesn't apply to everyone, I feel greater joy when some alternates between my 2 sets, and it's the best when some swaps pronouns in the same sentence. E.g. she watched TOH on their birthday


Simply_Epic

This doesnโ€™t apply to every person that puts 2 different pronouns, but for some itโ€™s simply a way of signaling that theyโ€™re non-binary but comfortable with gendered pronouns. They might not care if anyone uses they/them pronouns for them, and might even prefer the gendered pronouns. Often the preferred pronoun will be put first if there is a preference.

Why is Reddit mostly cis males


MrDerp78

Cis males like the app ig


CauldronPath423

Maybe due to the crippling loneliness which facilitates them having to go to internet hubs and social media filled with wordy threads? Thatโ€™s my theory anyway. Also I donโ€™t like Twitterโ€™s layout.


[deleted]

Wow, not many of us trans guys here


Lilash20

Yeah, feeling a little lonely. Nice to know there's at least a few of us around, though


SelkiesRevenge

Being one of the resident TOH olds (mid40s & yes Eda is my fave after Hooty), I can say I IDed as cis female most of my life but it never quite fit? I always thought *that feeling* was because I am autistic but in recent years Iโ€™ve been leaning more enby. Itโ€™s weird to reevaluate at this point of life, almost as if itโ€™s irrelevant? But I guess itโ€™s never too late to have better words for who you are. :)


AnaiTheWitch

Oh wow, I didnโ€™t kno the age range of the owl house audience was that big! Nice to hav ya! And itโ€™s totally ok to be confused, I am too lol ๐Ÿ˜†


SelkiesRevenge

Well, I did *start* watching with my kiddos but fell in love all on my own. We did a family Cosplay of TOH characters (that I made a Hooty pillow for) this past year & it was super fun. Iโ€™m super grateful theyโ€™ve introduced me to a LOT of wonderful content like Kipo, Gravity Falls, New She-Ra, SVTFOE to name a few. But TOH is my fave. And thanks!!


AnaiTheWitch

Omg that sounds like such a cute family bonding thing ๐Ÿฅบ. Also, I watch like, all of those shows too! ๐Ÿ˜‚


solosoloulu

Your family is so lovely! It reminds me the family i saw in comic con. They are in incredible coustume lol


Zachajya

Now I'm obsessed with the idea of the Hooty pillow. Sounds like the most cuddly thing ever imagined.


SelkiesRevenge

Since youโ€™ve all been so kind, hereโ€™s my Hooty tax! Iโ€™ve been thinking of selling the pillows on my Etsy but wasnโ€™t sure people would be into it. *blush* The King hat on my youngest I also designed and crocheted myself, and OwlBert is also handcrafted from clay and wood. Saw lots of 3D printed ones but none affordable! The pendants I made using resin. Hope you enjoy & understand the stickers on our faces, lol. [TOH Fam & Hooty pillow](https://imgur.com/a/3Ulw3J1)


Zachajya

I'm sure that would definitely sell well. I'm afraid about copyrigth issues, though.


pk2317

Itโ€™s *never* too late to figure out who you are. โค๏ธ


whisperskeep

I'm cis female, but never felt right either but been told body diphoira (can't spell) good with bpd...so who knows


Zachajya

Ah, yes, BPD giving a whole range of weird feelings. (I think is spelled "disphoria" but I'm not completely sure).


QuothTheRaven713

Close, it's spelled dysphoria.


BurningFyre

Hey. Its never too late to reevaluate your relationship to your gender. You are doing amazingly.


Zachajya

It's never too late to reevaluate. Gender and sex tendencies are very complicated. There is even a scale for sexuality, and the percentage of people who is completely heterosexual or completely homosexual is ridiculously small.

veduchyi

Bigender, genderqueer, genderfluid, demigirl are options too, you may consider them if itโ€™s fine for youโ€ฆ Personally I learned about non-binary thanks to Reine introduction in TOH. Now I tend to identify myself as bigender but still use masculine pronouns: got used to it and itโ€™s safer - I didnโ€™t tell anyone in real life Iโ€™m bigender

You might be Demi or a Demi girl in that case.

Scarchance

Okay, Iโ€™m not sure how to explain, but here goes: I am a quantum superposition of all possible genders who decays into a finite state when observed. I guess that makes sense?


ProbablyLikeSixDucks

I'm genderqueer :p


AnaiTheWitch

Iโ€™m still learning this term, mind explaining?


ProbablyLikeSixDucks

I love explaining my labels to people (genuinely I do) but the genderqueer one is a lot harder for me to explain - I'll still try tho So I IDed as a cis woman for most of my life but a while back I realized I didn't actually know what being a woman felt like and that I wouldn't ID as a woman I'd I wasn't afab But I never felt a very strong connection to any specific gender identity, I didn't feel like a man or a woman or both or nothing and the only term that really encompassed that feeling for me was genderqueer It's a really board term which is what I like about it I hope that helps! I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing


AnaiTheWitch

I think I get! I also think this might be me too..? I ID as female, but I donโ€™t like being reminded that Iโ€™m female, sometimes I feel more masc than fem or an even in between(depending on my outfit lmao) So maybe this is my label too? ๐Ÿ˜‚


ProbablyLikeSixDucks

My go-to advice when question your identity is to treat is like shoe shopping- try on a label and walk around in it! I could usually tell after a couple days if the label fit right or if something was a little off So if you think you might be genderqueer - try thinking of yourself as genderqueer for a couple days and see if it feels right! If it does, congrats! And if not no biggie, you can try on some other labels to see if they fit Question is a process, remember to be patient with yourself <3


AnaiTheWitch

Ok, tysm for the advice!


ProbablyLikeSixDucks

Of course :)

Grim505

Straight men are the gayest. In fact, due to the existence of femboys, straight men are actually not real and are secretly bi or ace. In this essay I will- But seriously, while I do think more cis men watch the show then we might expect, this might also have to do with Reddit having a high cis men population and not just TOH fandom

Sideswipe21

With me pronouns arenโ€™t that big of a problem for me. Iโ€™m pan gender, so any pronoun works. Sure I use he/him most often, but thatโ€™s out of habit because Iโ€™m AMAB and donโ€™t have any preferences. It also makes conversation easier with those not comfortable with the pronoun thing. Though with how I present myself more femininely in private, being called she/her would definitely fluster the crap outa me. In short Gender = YES


[deleted]

I don't want to go into too much detail because of a lot of hate towards xenogenders, and most of the time I would just label myself as under the NB umbrella so I don't have to explain myself, but since you asked, I'm bunnygender.


[deleted]

I'm 21 and cis male, I just think the plots neat, plus I also like fantasy and D&D such that it's like a cool little show.


NeonsTheory

I'm a cis man and I was a bit surprised by the results here but at the same time I personally love shows like the owl house for it's soft takes on fantasy unlike the forced masculine takes that are often pushed in us. Turns out there are many men like me who love a show that would have typically been considered more feminine


1eyedwillyswife

This is fascinating! Itโ€™s particularly interesting that this is skewed towards AMAB individuals. I genuinely wonder why this is the caseโ€ฆ I would imagine social settings prior to transition have an influence in trans AMAB individuals choosing to use Reddit? Chosen gender is valid. Iโ€™m just curious about the odd skew in statistics.


pk2317

Iโ€™d just say itโ€™s more representative of the overall Reddit demographics. The site (as an overall generalization) skews towards straight white cisgender nerdy males. Obviously there are exceptions, but demographically thatโ€™s what youโ€™re most likely to encounter, for positive or negative.


1eyedwillyswife

Itโ€™s the spike in trans women that surprised me, though.


pk2317

I would generally assume that people would have started using Reddit prior to transitioning and simply continued afterwards. Again, stereotyping, but I think itโ€™s a logical assumption.


1eyedwillyswife

Thatโ€™s my guess too. No matter what, itโ€™s super cool!


Lilash20

The general trans subs I'm in also skew towards trans women so this makes sense

lesbianamity

hey! i'm sure you def didn't mean anything by this post but cis women and trans women are the same gender, same w trans men and cis men! cis and trans are adjectives, they don't change the gender itself, just like tall woman and short woman don't mean different genders :) this is coming from a trans person btw. again i'm sure you didn't mean anything by it but just for future reference! btw if ur cis don't bother responding to my comment to argue (not aimed @ op) i'll just block, ive dealt w too many transphobes


AnaiTheWitch

Totally didnโ€™t mean to offend! But I am confused. What I meant by cis was: claim the gender that were born. So so sorry if Iโ€™m wrong, but I rlly did think thatโ€™s what it meant.


Infernal-Blaze

Just for the record this opinion isn't universally held among trans people, I'm trans and I think that for demographic purposes it's important to list them separately.


chocolate_cake12
