Apparently in the underlying paper they did a chi-squared test on gender and didn't see a significant difference (so also didn't report the raw data), this was surprising since I've only really seen something like this aggression affect in women and everyone's anecdotes seem to be of women.

Would be interesting to get a sample of male anime fans and their reactions to cute anime girls and see if the distribution is normal.
