Welcome to my lair

Alexei: Fergalicious.

Yelena: I said no words.

Bucky: I'm always straight.

I did a very quick, sketchy comic because I was extremely inspired by this post. (Credit to @pinkdiamondprince for the original post.)

CA: dont litter in any ponds literal or metaphorical

CA: and yeah if some turtles migrate ovver naturally thats ok sexuality and orientation can be fluid

Well, I knew this post had to come along sometime.  Reading some meta about Steve and Bucky’s Brooklyn home got me interested in writing meta in the first place.  I never knew about any of this beforehand; there is a sort of hidden history about homosexuality in NYC.  People think that the gay rights movement started at the Stonewall riots, but that is not actually the case.

Here is a map for reference.  

I will try to make all this as clear as possible, but that will not be easy, I think.  Here is an awesome Google map collection of queer landmarks in Brooklyn that will be much more extensive than I can hope to be.

I don't know if it has a name but the fallacy in question is applying an unconditional probability to a conditional situation.

The examples above are comical but this fallacy does have adverse effects in real life.

A famous example is Sally Clark, who was tried and convicted of murdering her infant sons. The prosecution claimed that the chance of Clark having two children die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) was vanishingly small (1 in 73,000,000), making it beyond a reasonable doubt.

They arrived at that probability by multiplying the probability of a single SIDS death in affluent families (1 in 8500) by itself. But this calculation assumed that the two probabilities are independent when they're not.

1. Transgender surgery

2. Head

3. Alcoholism

4. The worst night of their fucking life

5. Stretch marks

6. A weird kink

7. Catholic guilt

8. Self-sabotaging behaviours

9. A plethora of mental disorders
