MLP 18+ Folio Survey Results

Well, after a month of polling, I decided that should be decent enough replies. Less than 100, so not hitting a nice sweet spot. But ah well. I’ve rounded up the percentage points to whole 5′s as to not flop all over the place with ,28 or what have you. (This survey only focuses on the "major" folio releases, not the small, indie ones)

~70 % wasn’t aware that all the major folios has been hackjobs. Whereas ~20 were, and ~10 % kinda knew.

~35 % was either bothered, or a bit bothered by this fact. ~35 % didn’t really care. And ~35 % as unsure on what to think.

~30 % were pissed over this, as it gives folios a bad name and/or were upset that it screwed over the few people in each folio that actually puts effort into their work in said folio. Whereas ~70 % more or less didn’t give a flark. As they don’t think they can fight the system, didn’t care that it was corrupt, or just wasn’t bothered by swindlers scamming people, since that’s just how things work.

~40 % would be interested in a folio that actually delivered what it promised. ~10 % have no interest in folios. And ~50 % might be, depending what it is.

~35 % of people think that it’s bs with these “DLC” pre-order special edition deals, that shoves out shitty, inferior censored versions as the “regular”, then sells the real, actual artwork as a “gold edition”. Not just some lazy edit. ~10 % don’t care, as they only purchase the folios to support the artist. ~45 % couldn’t give less of a flark, as they just pirate the folio, for various reasons. (and possibly doing private donations to the few people in said folio that actually worked hard on it, not just going for a quick handout) and ~10 % were too ignorant to even know what the fuck is included in a regular vs “deluxe” edition. (basically, they thought the standard version is for those that “aren’t interested in the edits”, when the standard version in itself IS an edit of the original pic.)

A whopping 100 % of people never asked for refund. ~80 % of which didn’t bother with it. And ~25 % of which just didn’t see it as anything they could win. They had been screwed over, what could they do? And this is despite ~85 % of people expression displeasure with their all folio purchases. Claiming all of them, bar some indie folios to have been utter shit compared to what they were promised or expected, yet all of them kept purchasing them, hoping they’d start to be better...

~70 % just thought all folios that came to mind were shit. (of the major ones)

Whereas ~5 % found “clop for a cause” to be the only good one they can think off. (primarily due to the charity) and ~20 % just found all folios to be a heap of “meh”.

Now, the next part I find really interesting, as it STRONGLY contrasts the type of folio that is being spewed out. Will say that there is a likely bias on the votes. But considering a notable chunk of participants were haters and whatnot, it should even out somewhat. Unless all of said trolls skipped this part...

Anyhow, ~80 % of participants would like to see female solo folios. ~70 % want straight. ~55 % want yuri. Only ~20 % wants futa. Which I find kinda peculiar, seeing how it’s shoehorned into like, ~90 % of all folios by futa fanatics and the overall pingas obsessed people xP Atop being the original version of all those folios. With the female edits just being a tacked on, second thought.

~35 % wants antrho. Whopping ~80 % want feral. ~55 % wants anatomically correct. (yet it’s like, only in ~15 %) ~10 % wants hyper. (which again, is something in like, ~75+ % of folios xD) ~45 % wants tame, vanilla stuff. ~55 % wants pinups. (also rarely delivered on, especially the “100 % pin-up” folio Hooves and Holly scam, with less than 20 % pinups xD)

~90 % wants 18+ content in their folios. ~35 % wants to see graphic sexual acts in their folios. ~20 % wants anatomically incorrect genitalia. ~20 % wants to see comics in a folio. ~35 % wants to see animation. ~20 % wants written stories in them. And lastly: ~20 % enjoyed themed folios. I honestly thought themed ones would be way more popular tbh...

Anyhow, there’s the result of that survey. Know I didn't advertise for it here, but welp :P
