      Obvious bait.

      Even citing certain statistics is likely to earn a ban. It isn’t hard to imagine what, given that they are notoriously thrown around by actual racists.

        That mod deleted my comment earlier saying that if someone needs to abuse their moderator powers by threatening an instaban b/c they were called out for a poor use of stats in the name of bigotry, then maybe they’re the baddie lol

  No, the argument is that the overall number of crimes is so low you can’t make any population inferences lmao

  Bigots demonstrating they don’t understand sound argumentation.

    So you feel totally safe walking alone at night and a strange person starts approaching you, right?

    Because my penis sure doesn’t make me feel safe in those situations.

    Where is the victim’s gender even mentioned in the meme?

    Also, I would suggest calling a mod a bigot on a community where the very first rule is “be respectful” might not be the smartest thing for you to be doing.
