I feel like I've seen an uptick in articles posted here that are covering cyclists or pedestrians getting killed in car crashes. I understand that this community is centered around our hatred for cars but seeing a constant feed of deaths by cars isn't really what I want. I would prefer memes, discussions on how to improve things, and articles about policy etc instead of an endless stream of daily deaths.

How do you feel about these posts?

I enjoy them!

I enjoy hearing about deaths from this issue because it reminds me of how shitty and nonsensically complacent humanity is about this important issue that kills numerous people daily.

So if the death posts stop? I also stop.

    nonsensically complacent humanity is about this important issue that kills numerous people daily.

    It's not "nonsensical" it's just putting more priority on (a kind of) convenience over safety than you would like. Nothing is 100% safe and people have a wide range of ideals and priorities. Heart disease is like 12x more deadly than road accidents but there's no "Fuck Sedentary Lifestyles" community.

    This is a hate community, not a logical conclusions one.
