– Perhaps the most obvious difference between the two groups is that the number one and two spots a swapped. Reiner ranks first (barely) for those who identify as female while Eren ranks first for those who identify as male.
– Females seem to generally include a wider array of characters in their top rankings, while males seem to be slightly more polarized – especially with regard to those Jaeger brothers.
– Eren wound up in the top 3 for 69% of males. That is a LOT! For women, he did end up in the top 3 more than any other character, but only 38% of the time. Females were also almost 3 times more likely than males to include him in their bottom 3.
– A similar thing happens when looking at the distribution of Zeke’s rankings by gender, but with a less intense skew. It looks like the Jaeger Faction appeals a bit more to males than to females (despite all of the abs).
– Historia is also notably more popular with those who identify as male. More than 25% of guys put her in their top 3, while females were less than half as likely. Women were also more than twice as likely to include her in their bottom 3 (although still incredibly unlikely).
– Females were far more likely to rank Hange and Levi in their top 4. These characters are unpopular with neither demographic, however
– Ymir is more popular with females as well, but for the opposite reason. Females tend to be far less likely to rank her in their bottom 2, but not significantly more likely to rank her higher.
– Gabi, Falco, Armin, and Mikasa are each ranked almost identically regardless of respondent gender.
– Similarly, Levi’s average ranking is the same regardless of gender. His case is different though, because females are twice as likely to include him in their top 3, but also almost twice as likely to include him in their bottom 3.
