I used the pushshift API and the Reddit API to get about 620k AmITheAsshole posts.I then extracted all the ones that specify the poster's age and sex, and visualized the results.The entire process was done in python, using the "requests", "praw", and "matplotlib" libraries.
The dataset is provided in the link below, in the following format: [age],[0:female/1:male],[flair]. The amount of posts there may be a bit different than the N in the picture, because N is the number of posts actually used for the graph, but the dataset also contains excluded posts.
I'm convinced most AITA is someone writing up something an asshole they know did for up votes. Or the good ones that people pass around are fiction, anyway. But anyway, cool graph.
