I want to preface this by saying that I am not advocating against rape victims, nor am I saying that rape is not a problem. In fact, I believe that rape is an issue that is not taken seriously enough in the current age and people who bring up false accusations when someone is talking about rape being a problem is not okay.

However, ts actually pmo. There's nothing productive to gain from these images and it just acts to silence victims of false accusations or those talking about it as a problem. Firstly, I have no idea what this is trying to imply. Does it mean that we should talk less about false accusations on reddit? Why are you bashing other people talking about problems they face rather then advocating for the problems that you face. According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1255182/distribution-of-users-on-reddit-worldwide-gender/, around 60% of reddit users identify as men and 40% as women. This lines up almost exactly with the amount that each problem is discussed in the image above. I feel like a person would be more inclined to talk about the problems their demographic majorly face rather than trying to express their opinions on problems that a different demographic faces more.

Secondly, the statistics are misleading af. The 5% is referring to people convicted of false accusations whereas the 31.3% is referring to rape cases that did not end with a false accusation conviction and the 62.7% is off surveys I'm guessing. There is no way to know how much of the 62.7% is false as you can't be convicted for false accusations if the case in unreported. I also feel like people would be more inclined to lie on an anonymous survey than in the court of law. Furthermore, a case that doesn't end in a false accusation conviction doesn't imply that it was not a false accusation. Both false accusations and sexual assault are very difficult to convict (at least in the US court of law). Convicting false accusations require proof of intent which is difficult to prove as we can't read minds, and SA cases in general get more difficult to prove as time passes. Therefore, in most cases it would be difficult to convict as either a false accusation or a rape. This image is assuming that all of those uncertain cases are immediately rape cases which is just simply false.

If you send images like this when people are discussing false accusations as a problem, you're just as bad as the people who bring up false accusations when people are talking about rape. Why do you feel the need to dismiss other people's problems and with shitty statistics too. I don't see what's productive about bashing on people talking about their own issues instead of just advocating for the issues that you face. Maybe we can advocate for both issues instead of trying to make it a competition.
