I know you're an innocent bystander but I'm this close to releasing a long ass angry rant about why this is a bad critique

So I think there might be an interesting underlying thing here, where people with weird/abusive childhoods have less normative influences and are more likely to wander into lifestyles pitched as alternative But there's something else here probably too

yeah there's a lot of potential confounders like that, including ppl into bdsm are more likely to be in cultures that frame childhood experiences as abusive, but the difference is large enough that I think there's a good chance some of it is directly causal.

If some smallish subset of people just answer randomly you will get an effect like this regardless of the reality

People who are into BDSM probably are more likely to think their childhood was abusive tho (c.f how willing liberals vs conservatives are in calling their family members that)
-
BDSM subculture has a higher-than-baseline standards for consent and negotiation.

This result does not surprise me. I take it as encouraging that by the far the majority of people into BDSM were NOT abused.

Please help me understand statistics. 8% of voters say Yes abuse + Yes BDSM, how does that get us to 40% of people with abusive childhoods are into BDSM? ~ Signed Bad At Math
Please and thank you! -
yea np! a total of 20% of ppl said they had abusive childhoods, and of that 20%, 8% said they were into BDSM. 8/20 is 40%
