1) Whoever taught this guy statistics needs to take whatever college degree he has and slap him with it.
This freaking idiot right here is trying to do a demographics breakdown of people that support #ComicsGate, aka 'please Marvel, stop hiring shit writers.'

2) His initial conclusion? "They're mostly fat redneck guys."
3) Dipshit, it is called fucking covariance. Have you NEVER taken a statistics class?
4) Yes, #ComicsGate is a conservative-leaning movement, as the comics industry is currently infused with identity politics and hyper-SJW ideologies, and virtually every major and indie comics publisher is located in cities which are so blue a smurf village would blend in there.
5) "75% are outside of major metros"
NO SHIT SHERLOCK. Most conservatives are ALSO OUTSIDE OF MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS.
NO SHIT SHERLOCK. Most conservatives are ALSO OUTSIDE OF MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS.
6) Congratulations, dumbass. You just measured the fact that CONSERVATIVES WIN EVERYWHERE OUTSIDE OF MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS. Good job. Just amazing work there. Jackass. 
7) "Lowest segmentation: Health & Fitness" Really now? You mean people who've made social media accounts to talk about comics AREN'T talking about working out enough for Twitter to TAG THEM with health & fitness? NO WAY!
8) "So, I can say, with accuracy, that readers following it are majority unfit rural males." Turn in your fucking degree. Burn it. Everything outside of a metropolitan area is not rural, you have no proof that not talking about health and fitness makes someone unfit.
9) You just fucking measured that conservative men who like comics are likely to be where all other conservatives are. Congratufuckinglations. You're a fucking dumbass for thinking you've discovered some shocking new secret.
10) THEN, he acts surprised that there are ANY WOMEN supporting #comicsgate. REALLY. He then tries to figure out why he's finding ANY!
11) 'More effort went into crafting the fakes than anticipated.' Really. That's one of his explanations. That they're so good at faking it they're fooling him. REALLY.
12) His other explanation? "I'm not segmenting things properly" REALLY. The data isn't giving you the result that you want, 100% men, and so your conclusion is that you're not fucking with the data enough?
13) Someone call the FBI. This man is molesting young innocent data in front of everyone and no one is doing a damn thing to stop it! Oh the mathmanity!!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?
14) Yeah, dipshit, I see you over there.
"Honestly, it’s probably the third. Still early going. Waited to hit the 100K threshold."
Stop molesting innocent data. How do you NOT realize how incredibly dumb you look right now?

You've never taken stats have you
You've never taken stats have you
16) Your 'sources' and 'methodology' is that you're taking demographics and tags farmed from social media and filtering out as many as possible until you get a demographic representation that you want.
17) You are doing dollar store Cambridge Analytica work. You are not smart. You are not being special. You again seem COMPLETELY IGNORANT of covariance or how to account for it, and so you're making completely idiotic correlations.
18) 'CONSERVATIVES LIVE IN OUTSIDE CITIES!' Stop the goddamn presses.
19) 'People that talk about comic books are less likely to talk about working out.' Breaking new ground there Copernicus.
20) 'I'm seeing more women than my prior biases would expect but I'm a fucking hack that doesn't give a fuck about hiding my biases! Obviously I haven't butchered my data enough which is why there's still women!'
21) Ooooooh, ooooooh, I know, I bet if you filter out everyone who talks about feminine products and childcare, that'll knock that pesky 15% down some! Because only women talk about childcare, amiright?
22) You are the reason that people don't trust statistics. People like you who want to wave your goddamn dick around on whatever platform you built up for yourself so you can feign intellectual superiority over all the fucking liberal arts majors who are just as ignorant
23) Your model is at face value elementary-level bullshit. At face value it looks like it was already hit by a truck.
24) The gap in your methodology and logic gleaned from your statements so far compared to actual methodology is like the gap between a donkey show in a Guatemalan hovel and a $10k/hour European escort.
25) You are the reason we can't have nice things. You are the reason the dinosaurs all killed themselves; it was in embarrassment that the species who would rule the planet after them would have people like you doing shit math like that.

PS: Nah, Epstein, I'm not gonna even get D&C and his horde in on this. They're already beating you up elsewhere. No, this is fucking independent of that shit. Fuck comics. This is me, someone whose job deals with statistical models on a daily basis, DESPISING your atrocity
