Participants in this study largely identified within the gender binary. The majority of participants (~51%) in this study were women. Men were a large share of the respondents (~44%), while a small share of Nonbinary respondents (~4%) and respondents with other gender identities (~1%) were also present.

The majority of participants (~57%) in this study identified as heterosexual. Participants who identified as GLBQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, or queer) made up a fairly large share of the population (~34%), while asexuals (~5%) and respondents with other sexual identities (~3%) were smaller proportions of the respondents.

When given the option to identify the full breadth of relationships to the comic book industry that participants held, the largest share (~70%) of relationships belonged to readers. That being said, unpublished comics creators (~10%) and comics reviewers (~7%) were fairly common roles among respondents.

When asked to identify their primary relationship to the comic book industry, the majority of respondents (~91%) identified as comic book readers (rather than creators or reviewers). Among the other positions held, approximately 2% of respondents primarily identified as a published comics creator and approximately 2% of respondents primarily identified as some other form of comics industry professional. All other relationships accounted for 1% or less of the data (each).
