I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.

      Yes, statistically.

      Realistically, I suspect a lot of those statistics is organized crime. Criminals killing criminals, so not something most people need to be afraid of when walking on the street. But I have no evidence for that.

        I dunno man. I’m a white male, grew up with privilege in an upper middle class family.

        I’ve had (2) times when totally random people tried to murder me at night. One while I was cycling, another when my friends and I came out of a movie theater and got chased halfway across the city by a carload of thugs.
