The part that drives me up the wall is how much the group of people who complain about the safety impact of people over-provisioning their personal vehicles (massive pickups and whatnot) overlaps with the group who complains about any automobile design that trades away safety in pursuit of another engineering goal.
I can understand drawing a line on a subjective issue but at least be ideologically about it if you want me to respect you in the slightest.
- medler 2y agoI’m firmly in the former group and follow a lot of like-minded people on social media. I can’t think of any time anyone in that group complained about motorcycles or kei trucks. I’m not sure there’s that much overlap between the two groups.
- potato3732842 2y agoYeah I'm in some of those circles. If you say "should we ban kei trucks?" they will say no but if you frame it as "isn't Kia f-ing evil for cutting corner X?" they will agree. And you can wash rinse repeat that dozens of times before someone pipes up and says "hey, this is kind of how we got this stupid situation where only big cars are highly profitable to build". So basically they support the status quo unless you frame it like that.
