[Poll] Perceived Kinkiness

[thefourthvine]

I am having a crappy day, people. I come to you for entertainment and distraction.

So, the other day - or maybe it was the other week; I'm not exactly Speedy Jenny, here - frostfire_17 said something that interested me. She said that she thinks Reboot Kirk would be kinkier than TOS Kirk.

My immediate reaction, of course, was to want to evaluate the Perceived Kinkiness (PK) of many characters on a set scale. This is a pressing and important issue in fandom, after all, and I think it's tragic that I can find no previous work on the subject in the literature. (Why is there no journal of Fandometrics? I know lots of people study fans, and, look, I love you guys and I find you interesting and all, but what I really want to read is studies on the characteristics of various OTP groups within a given fandom as compared to OTP groups within another fandom, and an ordering of perceived character intelligence plotted against six key traits one of which is total percentage of dialog, and data on the distribution of key adjectives associated with certain characters, and maybe how that relates to fannish migration over time. Plus, of course, PK.) Fortunately, we have this thing called polls, so I can at least cover the PK issue until such a time as Fandometrics starts publishing.

Obviously, answer this poll using your own personal definition of kinkiness. For bonus points (and a more distracted, and thus more happy, TFV), discuss what specific kinks you think a character is mostly likely to have in the comments.

On this scale, 0 is totally not at all kinky, and 5 is most kinky in all the land. Go! Rate! We will have our Fandometrics yet! (And now we do, thanks to dramaturgca: fandometrics!)

Of course the first thing I did was scroll down to make sure you had Jack Harkness on your list; and I'm sorely tempted to click "5" for him and then submit without voting on anyone else at all. :-)

Further, I don't think the five-point scale is enough -- but I am amused beyond all telling that Jack so far has no votes other than 5. :-D

See, he went in because he's in one of the fandoms that got the most votes in my last "where are you folks?" poll, but he would have been in anyway, on the same grounds that Faith, Methos, and Jack Sparrow got in.

(And it's not uniformly five anymore, because I picked zero. I am apparently alone in seeing Jack as totally non-kinked.)

Naked hide-and-go-seek. In the officeHub.

Also, stopwatch.

I rest my case.

Also M-preg. And sex with aliens. And he seduced his 2 executioners and they all got trashed on hypervodka.
