What an utter hellhole to live in if you're a girl or woman.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 27 points 3 weeks ago

Or 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)

[–] TwinTusks@bitforged.space 33 points 3 weeks ago

India, what the fuck.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 32 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

That's the third horrific story out of India today alone. Fuckin' hell.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because OP does nothing but post about terrible things happening in India.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Your comment just made me check their post history and yeah, that's a bit strange...

They do appear to be Indian and have a quite complicated post history including support for the IDF, despite the Islamic username. It's nice to see someone with truly unique views and perspective on here even if I don't agree.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe they're Muslim and have something against India. An ML I knew in college was a Muslim sympathizer native to a nearby country, and she was super weird about it.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

There is a huge population of Muslims in India. This person posts as if they are currently living in India and criticizes the law and cultural as someone who is part of it. So idk, it's like all of us complaining about the US

you are right i am against india

i want a femboy caliphate

[–] homura1650@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

India 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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

They were all on Lemmy so it says something about Lemmy.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Come on India, get your shit together!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There'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?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Different guy, same schtick. Or at least the accounts have both been active since before the other guy got banned.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Are 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?
