the above is a diagram accurately repsenting the distribution of trans & autistic representation in kpop fanfiction --- so uh i was bored last night and wanted to figure out who the runner ups to ateez were in terms of representation in fanfiction and it came with some suprising results (like got7 i thought you were better than this???) anyways since there are very, very few trans kpop idols, and none that are confirmed as autistic, kpop fanfic authors have to write their own representation into the world and this was made to study that due to the nature of ao3 fanfiction tags i would not be able to accurately represent how many fanfictions have any kind of neurodivergent representation so i had to restrict it to only autism. also, only a select few groups were used, as there are only really a handful of very popular ones on ao3. if anyone is aware of any other groups with a prevalence of trans or autistic representation in fanfiction, then please let me know and ill add them to the list now onto the list! formatted as 'group: percentage of fics' from least to most representation: trans representation: GOT7: 0.05160% TWICE: 0.10524% TREASURE: 0.16914% New Jeans: 0.18450% Red Velvet: 0.28761% EXO: 0.29127% Monsta X: 0.38100% Enhypen: 0.43507% NCT: 0.63108% SHINee: 0.65164% BTS: 0.79840% TXT: 1.04595% Stray Kids: 1.20700% ATEEZ: 1.66895% and finally- BY 11% THE KPOP FANFIC WITH THE MOST TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION 8TURN: 12.90322% --- autistic representation: GOT7: 0% 8TURN: 0% TWICE: 0% EXO: 0.04389% Red Velvet: 0.04424% Monsta X: 0.05128% ENHYPEN: 0.05251% NCT: 0.05318% SEVENTEEN: 0.08070% TXT: 0.13273% TREASURE: 0.13527% SHINee: 0.13575% BTS: 0.17306% New Jeans: 0.18450% Stray Kids: 0.23945% and an answer literally any avid fanfic reader atiny could expect... THE KPOP GROUP WITH THE MOST AUTISM REPRESENTATION IN FANFICTION IS ATEEZ: 0.43591% --- I just though these were some super interesting statistics to share, so here they are! (Seriously though how did NewJeans do so good and Got7 failed shjsksksk)
