One of the few fun things about culture war, in my opinion, is how every available territory gets crammed into this absurd dualistic framework so that people can fight about it, resulting in a fascinating assortment of mystic correspondences.
From a sufficiently advanced perspective, all of the following distinctions collapse into a single bit:
Women vs. Men
Hunanities vs. Sciences
Democrats vs. Republicans
Easy video games vs. Difficult video games
Trans people vs. Cis people
Communists vs. Fascists
Black people vs. White people
Literary fiction vs. Genre fiction
Young people vs. Old people
Disabled people vs. Abled people
Tumblr vs. Reddit
Gay people vs. Straight people
American children’s cartoons vs. Anime
Slavenmoral vs. Herrenmoral
Censorship vs. Free speech
Spirituality vs. Hard atheism
Choice-based interactive fiction vs. Parser-based interactive fiction
Secularism vs. Christianity
Poor people vs. Rich people
Relativism vs. PositivismAny seeming contradictions in these coalitions/basic ontological categories is purely your imagination.
I scored 9 on one side, 9 on the other and 2 I have no idea.
- L Women vs. Men
- R Hunanities vs. Sciences
- C Democrats vs. Republicans
- L Easy video games vs. Difficult video games
- R Trans people vs. Cis people

8 left, 6 right, 6 center/confusion.

I’m gonna guess based on:
American children’s cartoons vs. Anime
(?? Slavenmoral vs. Herrenmoral ??)
Spirituality vs. Hard atheism
Choice-based interactive fiction vs. Parser-based interactive fictionthat this is sarcastic. I’ve yet to see any sustained-for-any-reasonable-time complete cramming of “American children’s cartoons vs. Anime” (there was like that one month, maybe…) into anywhere near the same binary as, e.g., “Woman vs. Men”, and I’ve flat-out never seen either of the other two even argued as opposites (especially not moral opposites? Unless you mean something REALLY different for “spirituality”…).
(”Slavenmoral vs. Herrenmoral” I’ve just never heard of, but from a quick web search which only turned up “Herrenmoral” as “master+morality”, introduced by some philosopher, it looks like this is a classic, deliberately-basically-one-bit dichotomy and also not one discussed very much in the same fights as the others. But I really, really, don’t know, so I’m just leaving it in (??)s and not using it to back my thinking.)
So yeah. I could be totally wrong, but I’m gonna go with sarcastic, maybe trolling, for this.
Oh, it’s definitely not 100% sincere, we’re just taking the survey anyway.
Slavenmoral vs Herrenmoral didn’t get search results because the first term wants to be spelled Sklavenmoral. It’s Nietzsche stuff, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_morality. AFAIK, both of them are interesting summaries of phenomena but not actually systems you should use for decision-making. Or even identify with, probably. IIRC, Nietzche sounded like he favored the latter, but that might just be because he published a book about how the former sucked that was supposed to be part of a series but then he died? IDK, though.

11 Left, 9 Right, opting out is for the weak. I shall take this ridiculous one-bit framework and bend it to my own will by actualizing myself even within its constraints and defying the very foundations of it.
There are the answers, survey-maker. You may ask them to do whatever you wish. I remain free.
