  • Doesn’t apply to my case

    Really? Anecdotal evidence, in a scientific setting, is described as

    casual observations/indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis

    This study is about the general trends of people judging others with tattoos incorrectly. It doesn’t mean everyone, always, judges people incorrectly.

    It also states that context matters for how accurately you judge someone. The gun, money, and the public information of his terrible actions, all change how you assess them and how accurate your assessment is.

    So in your case, yes, if you judged him as a rapist because he had a birthday tattoo, you were correct. But that is anecdotal evidence. And context based.

    Unless you’re implying everyone with a birthday tattoo is also a sexual assaulter/rapist, which is certainly a take, then it is anecdotal and doesn’t go against the studys findings.

    I just have memories of the early days of genetic sequencing research breakthroughs and the Israeli government started to order it’s scientists to sequence the Israeli and Palestinian DNA to “prove” their difference… only to very quickly learn they were almost identical, stop the program, and try and stop people from talking about it.












  • I’ve had a few times where I’ll look at a random movie on some streaming service that I haven’t heard of before, trailer looks great, genre is right up my alley, I’ll watch it, it’s not great but I hope it gets better and then by the end I realise it’s bad.

    So I go see the RT score and it’s low to mid rated for both critics and viewers. So after a few of those I started our checking. For ones I haven’t heard of. Found it very useful so far
