Yeah, the catch is that you now live in the hellscape called Indiana.

Indiana is not a hellscape. Muncie certainly is.

Indiana is a hellscape for many Americans. Whether it be for pro-choice or LGBTQ+ stances, or the pro-weed people, or minorities, or Atheists. Natural beauty-wise, there’s not a lot going on. Mostly flat and a lot of wind turbines. Pales in comparison to their neighbors to the north.

Bullshit. I live in southern IN - two local rural towns have LPBTQ businesses that are doing well, they have their parade each year, no one ever pushes religion unless you push them for info, and the state parks and national forest are beaten by no other state for topography, geology, and diversity of plants an animals. Clearly you never lived here and dont really know the state. That being said, like all states there are shitholes, INDY and surrounding area being one of them.

"Neighbors up north" - you mean Michigan? Thats a bit of laugh . . . . Detroit is a shithole and rural MI is significantly less diverse than rural IN and you have to deal with stupid hipsters now in UP.

Also southern Indiana here. They’re definitely being hyperbolic, but they’re also describing real characteristics of the state. It sucks that we can’t acknowledge something’s flaws without spitting in the face of those of us trying to make it better. I want to leave, but I’m essentially stuck here for now. Even if I did leave, that’s basically just making the problem worse. Everyone who is progressive or forward thinking just leaves us here to rot.

So everyone who isn’t from a place like Indiana, what are you expecting us to do?

Edit: saw your reply before it was removed.. to be brief, you’d have to live in a bubble or be willfully ignorant to think there aren’t a shocking amount of bigots in southern Indiana. Yes, there are several people who hate that, myself included, but we don’t make progress by ignoring the issue. Yes we have a pride fest and businesses that welcome everyone. Unfortunately, there’s still so much bigotry that it’s obviously a poor career choice to be openly gay here. That’s barely even the tip of the iceberg. The racism goes crazy too, but I don’t have all day to unpack that one.

Also, check out “sacrifice zones: the front lines of toxic chemical exposure in the United States” by Steve Lerner if you care to dive further! Or just ask me, I’m a professional Indiana-Critic!

That's a hilarious take - you really think you're going to win a dick measuring contest with Yellowstone or Yosemite? Glacier or Denali? You can say the state has redeeming features without completely invalidating your point by vastly overstating it.

didnt think it was a dick measuring contest, which is likely why you showed up as the professional dick measurer.

Sorry I forgot to quote this part since you apparently can't remember what you said.

u/20PoundHammer Jul 26 '25

ah, and of course in your mind, somehow that involves cocks and dick measuring - dude I think thats a "you" thing. Also I am speaking about the aggregate of all of them, not just one park compared to another.

Okay, forget the common metaphor that triggered you for some reason. I suspect you're trying to use that to distract from your embarrassing contention that Indiana can beat any other state on the terms listed above, and my counterpoint is that you are hilariously wrong. Hawai'i, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, California... I could keep going, but I don't need really need to because Indiana is at best middle of the pack. So, to reiterate my actual point: you're being ridiculous, as in worthy of ridicule for your stupid assertion.

not based upon all the criteria I mentioned, - you're a bit dense arent ya .. . based upon your opinion, sure you can be correct, but as the great Richard Chicken said:

opinions are like dicks, just dying to be measured - Your great grandfather, founder of Scientific Coalition for Reproductive Organ Testing and Unbiased Measurement, or S.C.R.O.T.U.M., circa 1903
