Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Article says there are more searches for trans-related keywords in GOP areas. However it doesn't say anything about trans porn searches vs cis porn searches. It wouldn't surprise me if conservative areas have more searches for porn in general, so all the numbers are higher. Anyway the article uses a lot of statistical jargon without seeming to check this basic issue. FAIL.
I swear Pornhub has released a similar report in the past that did check out the same way. And the same with gay porn.
Yeah, it's just correlation, which does not mean it's true, the reason could be a different one
It doesn't say whether VPN exits are counted either.
Yeah, and if it did, I feel like it's their vigilante fantasy scour. Not genuine crank material. Either way, unhealthy obsession.
