Meh. I live out in the country, and the only scary thing about cities to me is the traffic. Even NYC was fine outside of Times Square, and I took public transit. The only place I really hated was Orlando, but that was because of the exhausted Disney kids. It was overwhelming for everyone.
The traffic is the main problem to me. It is just so, so much worse than where I live. I was exagerrating which people didn't seem to understand, but it makes it an unpleasant experience to visit most cities here.
Yeah, you should be aware of the way people talk about cities in frankly bigoted ways if you don't want to be perceived as a bigot. Talking about cities being dangerous or scary is a coded way to denigrate Black people. Like, when people talk about Chicago being dangerous, they're specifically referring to neighborhoods with Black majority populations and generalizing it to the entire city. That's what this meme is about, not traffic.
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that was much of a thing. Most people I know just complain about traffic but I don't talk to racists very much so I guess that makes sense.
Like anywhere else, you get used to it. I'm from a smaller town, and there was a lot less traffic, but there was also a lot less to do. I live in a city now, and yes there's some traffic, but there are also a ton of bars, restaurants, parks, theaters, museums, and interesting, diverse people. Where I came from was 90% white and conservative with a church on every corner, and our restaurant options were Taco Bell and Applebee's. I can't emphasize enough how happy I am to live in a city despite the traffic, which only takes up a small part of your day
I know it seems like less of a problem to people in cities, I used to live in one when I was younger and I never noticed it. But now whenever I visit, its extremely jarring to go back to that. I do miss having more stuff to do, but to me its a good trade off. It really just depends on what your priorities are, but my point was that I wouldn't blame someone for hating cities, not that they are objectively horrible places to live.
I think there's a communication issue here
I was over exaggerating because I wasn't expecting to have an in depth conversation on a shitpost community.
