    How would you describe the 40k community online?

    O The 40k community has a rich and extensive presence online on websites, and in social media.
    There needs to be the following option:

    O The 40k community has a fairly toxic and extensive presence online on websites, and in social media.

    I won't deny there's a lot of good stuff out there, and some great people, but the language in the questionnaire as written only allows for an extensive online community as a positive ('rich'), and I don't think it is. The online community has some real problems. It's extensive, and there's a lot of places to go, but when so many of them are thick with negativity, resentment, entitlement and bile... It's not a 'rich' place to spend one's time.

    And pulling a Pontius Pilate and saying 'yeah, but that's the internet' isn't enough to not acknowledge this.

    I got to page two before I gave up as the options are simply not wide/thought out enough to give a true reflection of my hobby activities/views.

    2/10 would not try filling in again.

    However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

    O The 40k community has a fairly toxic and extensive presence online on websites, and in social media. This presence rarely relates to that of gamers in person.

    Wee addition there for you
