Shiplympics yet again

[farla]

50 hearts

9 diamonds

7 spades

No clubs.

I still maintain it'd make more sense to dump the quadrants division entirely and let the teams chose to present whichever quadrant of their ship they like. It's hard to believe that'd get us less of the other quadrants, and almost no ships have competing teams for them.

In total, there's 23 male characters to 16 female characters, so we're doing slightly worse than last year there. Last year also had John and Rose tied for the third place, while now she's tied for seventh with two other characters, one of which is a boy, and most of the girls are far further down.

To break that down...

Better here - still topping with a guy, but not as dramatically and there's more girls here total than boys.

Much like the trolls here.

Dirk: 10

Roxy:6

Still no girls topping the list, at least they're outdoing Jake, who apparently everyone now hates.

Calliope beats Caliborn! More boys than girls, but the extra characters are almost always male anyway.

And ouch. None of the female ancestors even made it in this time, despite them being involved in every ship and interaction we see during the ancestor section.

Neither did any non-Strider parent.

Also, Dirk has nearly as many het ships as he does gay ones and Kanaya has more het ships than she does gay ones. Not sure what's up with that. And there's no Vriska/Terezi. There's enough people to run teams for Eridan/Terezi and Sollux/Terezi and Karkat/Vriska, but not the two of them. Something has gone terribly wrong with fandom.
