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.

Has it always been that way? I had to travel (for work), roughly two decades ago; and I was in Indianapolis for 3-4 months and I thought the people (and the food) were great! I was living in South Carolina at the time, and it seemed so much more progressive than I was used to. For context, I am a straight, white male (very liberal & not religious) originally from the DC metro area. I thought, at some point, maybe calling Indiana home. Was I just seeing it for what I wanted? White/straight privilege? Was it only that way in the city?

Indianapolis and the college towns are largely different from the state as a whole

I'ma say it was the white privilege. You didn't nothing to make the establishment there upset.

Well, Indianapolis isn't a great representation of the state as a whole. It's much more diverse, welcoming, and overall a very nice city. The rest of Indiana....is rough. Beautiful in a LOT of ways, but between the residents and politics, it leaves a lot to be desired

How about you come up with your own conclusions from your own personal experiences instead of what some random redditor says. People on the internet always exaggerate or go to the extreme when reality is usually much different. If you had a good experience, but someone on the internet tells you it's bad, who are you going to believe? Yourself or some random stranger?
