Interesting in this context is completely divorced from morally good/bad. Could be any group from any area at any time in history. I’ll start with a few, followers of the cult of pythagoras, contemporary black Hebrew Israelites, antiracist skinheads and the Amish (neo-luddites in general). Don’t be racist or a prick to other people discussing.

    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.

            Sorry no, this is the Internet, you’re expected to double down and get weird if someone comes along to challenge the observation.
