He hates all of us. I'd go further but the mods wouldn't like it.

I am a level 155 "Shitlord." Apparently.

Hmm, interesting!

'Advantaged' with a score of 40.

I also scored a perfect 175.

Sweet, I'm a SHITLORD with a score of 135!

I got 85 if I only identified as white, and -25 if I identified as white and other (I have usually included my Native American heritage though my genealogy research is now pointing me toward it possibly not being true).
I have quite a few problems with this survey. They don't include mental illness, just mental disability. Their attractiveness scale does not include average weight, thin build, or average attractiveness. The "size" category should be "height" to avoid confusion with frame size. There are also more sexual orientations than they list.

150. Burn me at the stake, I guess.

First off, how do they not have pansexual or demisexual options? They have not been paying proper attention to social justice buzzword bingo!

Also, an option for mental disability, but not for mental illness/disorder? Because disability doesn't really seem like it fits, even if my mental disorders cause huge amounts of trouble in my life. Just that one check-box changes me from 105 down to -95.

45. I feel like they should also ask how much help you got for college and other expenses. Because I make very little money but I also have absolutely no debt.

My husband got 120. I had to put him as Latino and white because he is half Mexican, but identifies as Caucasian.

I can't fill it out since Canada is not an option and there are too many differences between Canada and the USA. If I say I'm in the US I get 180. I don't feel that privileged, I can't afford a house, I'm not really saving for retirement, and my kids will have to pay for their own school.

To those complaining, I really don't think this survey is all that serious.

I mean, just my assessment, but what do I know, I'm a shitlord.

My new goal is to build the ultimate shitlord. 245 is the highest I've gotten so far.

If this is serious, the 'kinship' question is a bit crazy...

Oh, I got that "Your privilege level is Privileged with a score of 85". I had to say I have an attractive face because they had no average option.
Whatever, it doesn't make any sense. Also, if it's serious it may do a disservice in many cases: you aren't privileged or not, a lot of people who are in bad positions have some sort of privilege, isn't that how it works? As in, white privilege is still a thing even if you are poor or whatever.

Actually, you can mark none of the options for appearence (that's what I did).

Shitlord of 180 for the win.

I got a 40, probably because I'm both a woman and had to check the no job option since I choose to stay at home to raise my kids. Never mind that our income level should probably put me in asshole territory by default. So yeah, it can't be that serious.

Advantaged. Probably because I am bi and over weight. Non canada option so, I went by where Newfoundlander identify more with...so the UK because we haven't stopped bitching about leaving since we left. A province of anglophiles.

Damn, I got a 180.

210

Get back to work you peons!

185. Kicking ass and taking names.


Incidentally, I think its based off of this image (which is meant to be a joke, or else its horribly flawed). A black billionaire would be worse off than a white middle class person.

Ok, that's clearly a joke. The clearest parts are:

"If you are doing this on a Friday or Saterday night, add -15"
and
"Add it up. If you can't add -30"

Ooh, thanks! Using that I attained a high score of 460.

180, I wonder what my score would be if I were not overweight?

45 Advantaged. I'm pretty sure it's because I selected "Other" as a race because I'm mixed and don't really self-identify as one over the other.

I just noticed they spelled Saturday wrong on that picture. It says "Saterday" . Now I'm really annoyed with the whole thing. LOL

You can select multiple options. Try it again with both races selected.

Oh god please no SRS in here.

Oh shit, I'm a shitlord (180) now! Privileged existence, here I come!

220 legitimately (aside from the lack of Canada vs US). SHITLORD! WOOOO

Status (based on you or your family, in US$)

Middle (45k-65k)/yAffluent (100k-250k/y)Rich (>$1,000,000/y)Plutocrat (>$1,000,000,000 net)Homeless or InstitutionalizedPoor (<30k/y)Next



...People between 30k and 45k a year, or between 65k and 100k a year, or between 250k and 1mi a year, don't exist? Or can't pick an option? That test is beyond ridiculous.
Either it's satire, or it's a horrible horrible thing I don't want to know about.


Also, "White" is racist. It's Caucasian.

Also, Germany is "meh"? Seriously, this person does not know anything about economics.

We need to make a user group or something and call it Shitlords United to Communicate Known Interesting Things. Or SUCKIT.

Originally I got a score of 90. Then I tried again, and selected every kinship option (dragonkin, lizardkin etc), all at once.

Your privilege level is Extremely Oppressed with a score of -220

So, apparently all I need to feel superior to everyone is to be a mammalian avian reptile demon weredragon.

Also, I went back and tried to select all the worst options I could.

Your privilege level is Extremely Oppressed with a score of -3060

Hm. 135. I wonder if putting "police/fire" as my occupation affected that...

180.

180 Shitlord.

This stupid test / reducing privilege to a number instead of something vastly more complicated makes everyone dumber for having participated in it.

Your privilege level is SHITLORD with a score of 175

According to the quiz no one makes more than 65k but less than 100k. Unless...those are the most privileged of all

Because being idiots, none of us were perfectly aware that this was a silly Internet quiz. I'm also aware that I'm not actually Chewbacca despite getting him in the Which Star Wars Character Are You? quiz.

What is up with this kin stuff?

Isn't that some subclassification of Furries?

I worked with a transexual girl in one of my earliest jobs. She would talk about how she was an otherkin to dragons or something. She was also just shy of 7 feet tall, so who am I to disagree?

If I understand it correctly, kins are like the FURRIES of furries. Like... they wear their costume on the inside.

Otherkin is way different from furry. Furries identify more with anthropomorphic animals, but otherkin actually believe they are non-human. Usually fey or some shit like that.

This. It's not just fae. It's also therians (basically weres). They believe they have some sort of spiritual (and metaphysical) connection to animals, spirits, or other abstracts like angels and demons. I know a few. Most of them are pretty normal but with odd (almost pagan/druidic) beliefs. Some of them are completely out of their fucking minds and are dangerous to be around. Be careful which you are alone with.

No, I said "almost". It ties into a lot of animalism that shamans, druids, and other religious figures had. It's not a religion in and of itself.

That's what I meant by "wearing their costume on the inside." They can't take it off because they think they're whatever-hybrids.

Man I didn't know that was an actual thing. I'd seen a forum or two about it but thought it was just a roleplay thing. Like go pretend to be a were something online for fun.

Probably. I mean, to be fair, if someone tells me they're an otherkin, I start to want to oppress them.

Reality is often oppressive to the deluded.

I know it's been explained but the other kin stuff still doesn't make any sense to me. My brain just won't shuts down. Just like when I hear the word "furry".

It's a class of people that makes the rest of the population uncomfortable/uneasy, and so there is an automatic hostile reaction against their "other"-ness, irrespective of its legitimacy.

--Patrick

I don't feel exactly hostile about it, but I certainly don't get it. If anything I'm kind of fascinated by the idea. What makes these people tick, ya know? Like there's this girl at work who can "see auras" and stuff. What makes her think about that kinda stuff? When did she really decide that?

Some people hear about an idea and gravitate toward it, others will have something going on with them, hear of the idea as a possible explanation, and accept it.

I glanced at this thread on vacation, but I didn't get to take the test until now. It told me I was Disadvantaged with a -20. I still don't know if I should be happy about this or not.

A disadvantaged oppressor? This can't stand! Someone get this lady a trust fund, stat!
