I found a 4chan thread on the topic of the lgbt community whilst toodling around the interwebs and I give it a read out of curiosity.

My faith in humanity has taken a noticable dip after reading that. Even after everything that life has thrown at me, I am still astounded by how awful humans can be.

What the fuck did you expect from 4chan? That site, with the exception of /tg/, is a 50/50 split between morons and people pretending to be morons.

why would people pretend to be morons?

Anti-intellectualism, and the stigma of being a nerd.

Or, y'know, the ironic hilarity.

[hector13]

Or they’re not pretending

[scriver]

Being dumb is fun

Why would it be fun to not know things? Or to think you know things that aren’t correct?

If you don't know about any of the things you should be worried about, you're not worried about anything.

If you don’t know about a disease, you won’t be able to work to prevent its spread, and might even assist in its spread if you have it and don’t know that it doesn’t produce symptoms in some hosts.

its because some people find entertainment in pretending to be less capable than they are.

Yep!

...and you won't care, because you don't know about that

But it DOES absolve you of all (moral) culpability for that outcome, while simultaneously allowing you to continue as if no problem existed at all (in terms of altering your behaviors in a pro-social manner), and that is what is REALLY IMPORTANT(tm)!

(Really, it's like you guys have never had to deal with city politicians before.)

Hey, it's a real-life trolley car problem!

Stop working and case massive economic and mental distress (which is a real thing), or keep working and have people die from the virus!

They will have entire ethics courses about it!
