What an utter hellhole to live in if you're a girl or woman.
65Or a man. Having your daughters kidnapped and raped ain't too nice either. I won't dare call a place a hellhole without actually living there but...
India isn't really somewhere I would like to live considering the crime (and the climate and a bunch of other reasons)

That's the third horrific story out of India today alone. Fuckin' hell.
33India has a population of 1.4 billion people. There being 3 horrific stories within a day does not say much. You seeing 3 such stories says more about your media than India.
9They were all on Lemmy so it says something about Lemmy.

India, what the fuck.
33A part of me want just to send him in prison for good.
Another one would like to toss a bucket full of bloody scraps inside his pants and submerged him waist down in a pool full of hungry piranha.

Come on India, get your shit together!
22There's going to be a bunch of weird crimes in a country with a billion people, but there's obviously some systemic issues at hand as well. It's just that maybe you should bring those up when criticizing the place instead of just reacting to a singular act?
Like, India has a bunch of problems with systemic misogyny but not kidnap infants systemic problems.

Are you that same guy that got banned before? Or are you a new guy posting lots of bad stories out of UP?
3Different guy, same schtick. Or at least the accounts have both been active since before the other guy got banned.
4Are these sorts of crimes not actually worse in UP? I feel like I saw these sorts of stories on Reddit too before making the switch.
If it isn’t significantly worse in that region of India, then where is all this UP hate coming from online, and why?

-6Just a reminder that India (Population: 1.4 Billon) has about 90 reported rapes per day, while the United States (Population: 333 Million) has about 365 reported rapes per day.
That means the USA has a per-capita reported rape rate 16x higher than India.
Everyone in this thread talking about how rapey India is are just being racist trash.
-12Reported rape
That, right there makes all the difference
14Key word reported
13Rapes are underreported everywhere, but a 16:1 ratio is crazy and isn't attributable to any difference in reporting rate (which is difficult to quantify anyway).
At the end of the day you only hear about the reported rapes, so if you're relying on anecdotal evidence that India is worse about this, you're wrong.
India just has a huge population, and westerners love focusing on negative news internationally.
