“The data tells a tragic tale of self-loathing closet cases, Republicans who privately get off sexually to trans folks, while publicly trying to remove trans peoples’ rights and stoking hate against them.”
I wonder what it is that drives that hate. Religion? Values taught in home? Social pressures? All of the above? 🤔
To be fair, they also do the same with… well everyone. They like a strict hierarchy with straight white married christian cis men at the top.
Who furthermore wear suits and ties (rather than e.g. t-shirts and sandals) and kiss up to those “above” them, while looking down and calling names the ones “below” - e.g. scientists who studied covid, engineers who made the vaccine, doctors who administered them, even people who received them, etc.
The closer you get to the top, the more the pyramid has to narrow down. The white poor people have no idea just how much e.g. Donald Trump loathes them, despite being caught on camera saying exactly how much. They think “bc I’m white, I’ll be fine”, and that lunacy affected us all.
Just want to acknowledge the the writing and title choice in the article itself are annoyingly smug, but the data analysis itself I found interesting.
Genuine question: could this data be affected by the location of VPN exit points?
Absolutely a possibility. Depends on how often people are using VPNs, whether there’s a distinct difference between political ideology and VPN usage, and the average distance to a VPN exit point. I think it’s fairly safe to assume a similar distribution of VPN usage across political bounds and generally speaking geographically distributed fairly evenly, with perhaps major cities and higher educated areas using VPNs slightly more often but with the exit point also being closer to the true point of access.
Keep in mind that many red states have attempted to essentially ban online porn with their overbearing age-verification laws. A savvy internet user would be less likely to pick an exit node in a red state, given the choice.
“The More Red You Get, The More You Love Trans Porn” That’s just effing hilarious!
