Who do you find more attractive from Lord of the Rings: Aragorn or Legolas?

@graydon to add to which, doesn't mean we couldn't attempt to answer the top question - the meaning of that answer is already different for different people - but would pollute the data by doing so

@Diplodocus
I'd be curious to see the physical attraction vs idea /character attraction gap.

Aragorn is a king and is far more main character so gets more development. I suspect a lot of straight men are more attracted to the idea or being him, vs Orlando's playing Legolas which has more female coding.

@LilahTovMoon where lesbian dragon?

[alonsiee@mstdn.party]

@LilahTovMoon to be honest, nothing from that

[jellyfish_umbrella@tech.lgbt]

@AstroHyde @PalmAndNeedle @LilahTovMoon I think we can safely presume that Logolas and Aragorn wouldn't win any any votes in that case

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@jellyfish_umbrella we stan a boisterous short king

[jen@cultofshiv.wtf]

@LilahTovMoon I think if i was younger legolas and now I'm older Aragorn

@LilahTovMoon I would also be curious to see this broken down by neurodivergence. My working theory is that autistics prefer Legolas, while ADHDers prefer Aragorn.

@LilahTovMoon

I'm mostly influenced by my spouse, who was hard core Team Aragorn when all her friends were Team Legolas.

@LilahTovMoon did not expect me to be in the majority of my group (Straight man Aragorn) but pretty significant majority there.

[joandaro@mstdn.games]

@LilahTovMoon fuuuuck it's harder to figure out my choice than to figure out my category

[joscelyntransient@chaosfem.tw]

@LilahTovMoon Is it weird that as a bi woman, I want to answer Aragorn, but as a lesbian I want to answer Legolas?

[janetgrbr@mastodon.social]

@LilahTovMoon No.

[brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net]

@JoscelynTransient @LilahTovMoon the fellowship of the ring was a polycule

@PalmAndNeedle @LilahTovMoon

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@LilahTovMoon Intriguing that enbies are the only group picking Legolas by any significant margin.

[rupert@mastodon.nz]

@LilahTovMoon 34% of respondents are straight men, and Arwen doesn't even make the final round? I blame Liv Tyler.
Arwen is canonically the third most beautiful woman in history and poor Liv barely scrapes the top 10.
[Edit, see? My subconscious knows she's not even the most beautiful Liv]

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@dalias @LilahTovMoon :3

[lilahtovmoon@tech.lgbt]

@rupert There were no prior rounds. This came out of a conversation with a friend at a party and she didn't bring up anyone other than Aragorn and Legolas.

[ehproque@neopaquita.es]

@Diplodocus @LilahTovMoon I'm not attracted to either, but men with no facial hair, pointy ears and eyebrows a different colour than their obvious wig are not very attractive, as attested by the fact that Legolas doesn't win a single category despite being played by a kind of sex symbol of his time.
