Data Is Beautiful

Is this.. tilted slightly?

Am I leaning?

I sometimes think they turn conservative because women won't date them.

Exactly. I would be almost as upset with being classified as a liberal or a Democrat as I would be a conservative.

On the flip side, in Europe extreme right parties are mostly being propped up by young men, while in other age groups men and women vote relatively similarly, which supports this finding.

Especially in Europe where liberal is more typically used for economically liberal.

Yes. Liberal is the opposite of "moralist" and sometimes "oppressive".

The US use of the word "liberal" is a bit shifted in the direction of "libertine" (same as libertarian, but strongly focused on personal freedoms of substance abuse and sexual promiscuity at the expense of economical\political freedoms to own catgirl slaves and shoot up crowds).

Now I hear Treebeard whining about modern females and how none of them want to be Entwives for alpha Ents

SK is wild right now. Women are taking part in the 4B movement (no dating, sex, childbirth, or marriage. The Korean words start with "B"). There was a online feminist group that got people so heated they thought they were sneaking hand signals into "male" media and they were getting people fired. If certain characters didn't come out with risqué enough clothing, male netizens would blame some secret feminist in the company. Women are assaulted if they're confused for a feminist due to just their hairstyle. A book ("Kim Jiyoung 1989" I think) that is, like, baby's first feminist literature, can have your spouse leave you. Men say you can't date a woman whose read it. All the book is about is the subtle sexism women face. They have an epidemic of "molka," which are secret cameras in women's bathrooms among other places. Women tell each other to bring nail polish to paint over the screws to protect themselves. Their new president is looking to abolish the gender equality ministry and blames feminism for the low birth rate.

TL;DR: Yeah, it's pretty bad over there right now.

Edit: Here's a two part video that goes over this surprisingly well for being about gacha games. Part 1 and Part 2.

oh yeah, South Korea has gone off the rails recently. lots of news stories about men assaulting women for the assumption that they're feminists, anti-woman politicians being elected, women losing their jobs for being (or assumed to be) feminists, it's all Very Not Good.

From a personal point of view, I agree, but playing devil's advocate, really the chart should be flipped so that the left/rightness is shown that way and the dates are on the vertical axis.

It'd also be good if the time periods matched, and if there was a source for the data.

These graphs only cover the demographic of 18-29 year olds, which historically do lean heavily towards progressive.

Rise of Streamers. Uneducated man childs giving advice to teenage boys, while "living the life"...

Imagine an angsty teen with blue balls hearing the opinion on women from his idolized, expensive car driving, pumped up tattooed narcissist how to pick up girls every evening.

That shit is toxic populism in times with lots of uncertainty about the future.
