But Anon, aggregating scores only works if the scores make any kind of sense to begin with. The tool's inputs are nonsense. What the hell is "sexual orientation" being measured against? What's at the far end of the spectrum? Gay? So, like, is bisexual in the middle and straight on the near-end? Where's asexual? Maybe asexual's near the near end, which puts bisexual in the middle, and gay on the far end? So asexual people have a *lower* sexual orientation score than straight people?
Like, there's no configuration you could possibly set up where the scoring actually makes any kind of sense. The tool can't possibly work because human beings can't be measured on axes that look anything like that without itemizing and ranking every part of them, and not only would that itself be horrifically racist/sexist/take-your-pick-there's-literally-an-entire-wheel-of-options-there, but--even if you did stick it out and do that--how do you even determine where someone actually goes on the chart, other than just fuckin' eyeballing it, which is what they were doing to begin with anyway?
The whole tool is just ridiculous. It's not just that it doesn't, work, it's that it *can't* work, and the only way you could earnestly try to use it is by categorizing and ranking people by their various minority statuses, which is way worse than whatever you were trying to avoid in the first place. It was a horrible idea and there's a reason that it both received the negative reaction it did and that Blizzard immediately dropped it. It was a very, very stupid idea.
