Is it true that most of the active MAL users are from Asia ?

So this is just a fun little experiment I just happened to come up with cause for a while I've been wondering just how diverse our community really is!!?? And as a fellow asian (although I've been living in canada now) I am really curious about the distribution of fellow anime fans in asia cause culture in all over asia is the closest resemblance one can ever hope to encounter with that of Japan's in the entire world.(etiquette similarity or cultural similarity in general).
Also there's no personal bias about anything here from my part.
I am just doing this to just know more about my community and you guys in general who collectively make up this community.

No, the highest user base is from the US iirc according to the admin statistics that I saw posted somewhere.

But I'm EU.

Well, technically speaking, it is probably the case since India alone has the population of Europe and North America combined.

Also, there is no East Asia in the poll. Seems like I'm not welcome. :(

i would think the asians have their own sites in their own languages. i have heard that chinese internet for example is to the right of 4chan 8chan, so those people might not like our pc atmosphare here.

Most people are from first world country while third world country are second in place.
As for second world country, they have their own MAL type site so they chat at there.

As for my country I am from India

I am really really sorry about the missing poll option. Actually it was just a misconception of mine that's just been cleared a while ago; I honestly used to think that East Asia was just consisted of Korea and Japan itself(which are like less than 1 percent of users here I think)and mainland china, hongkong and Mongolia are consisted inside Central Asia. So I am really sorry if your residencial region wasn't included in here and please don't take it the wrong (anyone who resides in East Asia) it was purely my misconception.
Also I don't think that India has that many anime fans cause I've never heard of like an anime convention being held there(although that's just me).

I think I've come across more from Asian, especially Indonesia & India, but can't say for sure what the overall majority is.

Am from the UK (England more specifically)

I'm technically Canadian American but I consider myself just Canadian and I suspect most users live in North America and Europe.

Your average MAL user is a 20 year-old western dweeb living in his mom's basement. Not necessarily 20 years old but a zoomer, male.

Not sure where you got that notion that MAL is full of Asians.

Pokémon Showdown is full of zoomers also. Acting hard and getting just as salty or more than their Karen moms.

You guys share a garage then lol? Who sleeps on top bunk?

Seriously, I find it hilarious when people like him think they're above the fray. Meanwhile

Yeah, that joke/stereotype has gotten old. I guess not only do most anime fans live in basements, But they also all lack originality.

Haha no. Americans all over the place. You hardly find Asians. Even most Asians here converse in fluent English and scrap their locations out of their bio which makes it hard to tell

Asians are pretty popular on the forums in my experience - mainly Indians, Indonesians, and Filipinos.

That's cause people don't reveal their ethnicity.
