Statistically trans and queer folk are over four times more likely to be victims of violent assault and other crimes.
We live in the most peaceful and prosperous time in human history, we 1st worlders.
If you are middle-class in some suburb somewhere your local stranger-violent crime rate is effectively zero.
0 * 4 = 0
All of this is kinda tangential, however, to why are we even discussing the proportion of queer folk here? Is it somehow related to the toxicity in any way other than queer folk are frequently discriminated against and the target of abuse?
I'm talking about confirmation bias, which is super relevant.
This whole thread is just confirmation bias.Like the Red Sea increasing in salinity as it shrinks, so too is this forum's fate.
Satellite imagery from the time shows that in August 2010 the shores of the Blockland Forum Sea enclosed over 158174 mi
2 of water. By December of 2022 that number was just 398 mi
2.
Can you imagine how salty that puddle is now?
Most people played their virtual lego game, posted in the community, bantered, got made fun of, made fun of others, etc. and just sort of moved on silently as they grew up and got busy.
The people who are still here,
are here for a reason.
