I will no longer put up with this propaganda. It has to be called out, as it has real-world consequences.
See the data (https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/rape-statistics-by-country) to see the global rate, or the number of rapes per 100,000 people. India is 1.8, Germany is 9.38, Australia is 28, France is 16, and the United States is 27. India’s performance is far below average. It is true for rich countries as well, even though we can discuss underreporting in developing ones (this idea is a coping mechanism when real hard facts go against your expectations).
Even in Western nations, the average crime rate committed by Indians and Hindus is far lower than that of the general population. In the majority of nations (Europe, the United States, and Canada, which are home to millions of people), the horror stories are primarily anecdotal and lack hard national statistics.
We just witnessed Pakistani Muslim guys grooming British young girls, and girls getting pin-pricked at a music festival in France. In many Western nations, there are even accounts of Indian men being taken aback when they learn that the topic of date-rape drugs is being discussed at office parties (again, anecdotal; don’t fall for it). Propaganda, however, persists regardless of reality.
Why am I writing this? Even while we enjoy a nice fantasy or jerk-off, it’s regrettable that such harmful propaganda is employed so openly. I cannot allow it to go uncalled. In what way is this harmful? One Indian student was turned down for a master’s degree by a German professor after an internationalization of an Indian rape case. “I hear there are lots of rapes in India in the media,” she explained. The Indian guy may have finished his education, found a respectable career, and lifted his family out of poverty. This one made the news; who knows how many more such cases happened in reality? How many professors rejected quietly?
Before someone comes here and starts talking about how awful India is, how terrible the people are, etc., etc…. I don’t give a F. India has far more issues than most people know. Additionally, anyone traveling to India should use general caution, and if advised not to visit a place by locals, please do avoid it. India is not a paradise. Nonetheless, it is very stable for the specified low PCI. I won’t get into religious propaganda about women being treated like goddesses because it ignores the empirical data from the country.
I wondered if that would rub some the wrong way, but I wasn’t expecting such a strong reaction. For the record, while I do obviously moderate captions to a degree, that’s mostly in terms of general quality and fitting the setting. I don’t necessarily endorse any content in them.
Even captions I write myself may contain views I don’t agree with when they’re written from the perspective of the naked person rather than an omniscient narrator.
This sure touched a nerve. In my own defence I have to say I have heard of instances of lone girls on a bus or train in India being stripped and gang raped by a group of men and in at least one instance being thrown off the train naked. I don’t suppose it happens a lot, but it does happen. That is all I was referring to. It is irrelevant what happens in other countries, I am not suggesting that rape happens more in India than anywhere else, and I cannot speak for biased or prejudiced people denying Indian men what they need. That is also irrrelevant. I am not trying to make a point, I have nothing against Indian men. I think you are reading too much into it.
Surely this is a move toward the left hand path.
