9 times out of 10, if some seriously crazy person here is making sexist or racist remarks, they're from Australia.

I'm not talking about the odd joke, I'm talking about people threatening to kill female posters, blatantly and grotesquely sexist comments, etc.

Is there some Australian version of red pill website that links to LPSG or something? I've never been, but is this kind of behavior the norm there?

When I google I come across articles like this...

British TV host Piers Morgan says Australia is the 'epitome of misogyny and sexism' in a heated interview with former Prime Minister Julia Gillard

Australia is deplorably racist, as people of colour are reminded when they speak up

Is Australia becoming a more racist country?

Sexism is rife in Australia, largest survey of its kind finds

Is it just horrible and I don't hear about it that much because I'm on the other side of the planet?

I know not everyone from Australia is sexist, I'm just saying that almost every fucking racist / sexist psychopath who should've been banned from this forum on day 1 hails from Australia and I'm curious wtf is going on that so many complete reprobates have Australia as their location.

It sure seems that way if LPSG is any indication.

It's politicians seem hell bent on destroying the Great Barrier Reef the largest living organism on the planet.

Wow! That's sad and shocking to learn. I'm not in disbelief, but after nine years they're still the only notable nation with LPSG members where I've not only made a few longtime friends, but also haven't had any confrontation. Rather rare for me.

I wonder if this culture, if so, has been perpetuated over generations like our south. Wasn't Australia once a place where England exiled the worst of worst?

I'm not surprised.

Though I've had the good fortune of knowing some great Australians, when I went there, I did hear horrific casual racism from a lot of Australians (particularly harsh against aborigines). At points I felt like I was stepping back into the heyday of scientific racism.

As for sexism, can't say I noticed any more or less than elsewhere (though I have noticed several trolls from there). It does seem to have a bit of a surfer bro culture going on in areas, so I wouldn't be surprised if that translates to fair amounts of it.

Ozzies are just sick cunts, as they say. They largely don't take shit seriously. I have found them often pretty fun to engage in banter with, when I can manage to get somewhat on their wavelength.

This thread is referencing the opposite... people taking stuff way to seriously (to the point of threatening violence, etc).

I'm not talking about people kicking back and cracking some off color jokes. I'm talking about psycho stalkers and shit.

I've noticed it here, specifically. I've witnessed Bonfire's posts on the subject. But I also know quite a few people who have emigrated and love it and wouldn't if this place was a reflection on their society as a whole
