    I'm actually saying a very low percentage. We can be annonymous and voice our true feelings/thoughts/desires.

      I agree, to assume that most posts are fake defeats the point of Is It Normal being a low-judgement zone. That’s why I assume all posts are real unless they’re laughably stupid or obviously by a known troll.

        I assume it's real unless it's super stupid questions. Like scat fetishes

    There’s probably good bit of posts that are fake, and some that I just pretend are fake so I can sleep peacefully at night
    I don’t know about all the sex and fetishes posts as I just don’t click or read them

    70% fake. But many fake posts do have some basis in fact.

    For example, suppose your friend had an issue she could not deal with. You know your opinion won't work for her. So, you write a post in the first person to reflect the desperation your friend is actually feeling. The range of responses from the users here helps you recognize several alternative ways she can fix things. Now, you can be a more helpful friend to her.

    To be honest, I hope 81-90% of them are fake, but I know the percentage is probably a low lower.

    I think a lot are fake. I'm pretty cynical, but whenever I see someone do something like a scat or cuckold post, or one of those "as a straight man I sucked of my mate" posts I just assume they're all fake.

      I think you would be surprised how many of the sexual ones are actually 100% true. Its just many people have or probably never will have suçh experiences.

        Ye, I could just be being too cynical.

    I think more than 90% is made up here. Because I also troll here. But sometimes I have also posted real feelings and desires here so its definitely not 100% trolling.

    I'd say less than 5%

    If you think about it, probably most of the posts are true because people can post anonymously so they won’t be afraid of what they say.

    I say 60% or above, but it really depends on the category.

    Hard to be fake if you're asking what year you were born or what music you like. Now the answers that's a different story.

    Those aren't truely IIN questions. If you look only at IIN questions and answers then I think the percentage is pretty high.

    I think 70% are made up and 30% are genuine

    Some are blatantly fake and then others come out in the responses as fake when a "resolution" is provided but then the OP has a lame excuse to not consider it. Then there are the people who use their multiple user names to have a conversation or an argument with themselves just to keep the thread moving along or to sucker other people into the conversation. That pushes the fakeness to an even higher probability.

    80% of posts about poop and 20% of posts about sexual perversion are made up.

    It's also made up if its a troll post. ( Had to rewrite this due to the fact my original comment was down voted. )

    What do you mean by 'fake'? Like, Management wrote them?

    • Fake as in the stories they tell are not true, and they just said them to get people to comment on their posts. Troll posts also count as these.
