A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

So I sorta see this with subcultures that get negative attention. Back when being gay was looked at as bad generally in society every gay man I met (so uncloseted) was generaly very nice and like you describe with juggalos. As it became more accepted more and more where willing to come out of the closet and now I would not say the typical gay man I meet (I say man because I have not met a whole lot of gay women) is just typical of anyone. Most nice enough, some jerks. I have seen that in furry interactions now a days. Generally nice if you accept them as they are.
Interesting observation! To rephrase, sounds like you're saying that for a persecuted subculture, the vocally "out" members behave almost like polite ambassadors for the rest of the group lol
Kinda. My theory is its kinda a combination of people who are out have to be strong and kind while jerks just won't come out till its safe. I by no means am saying people who come out later are jerks just that as a percentage they will be larger than earlier on.
