Because we will present facts and yall get buthurt and call us transphobic, sexist, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, zerist,… basically all the ists and phobics. When we are simply presenting facts and data that is completely objective.

You don’t represent any objective data tho yall habitually appeal to emotion. I promise you, the shit you believe isn’t based on data.

statistics and data always require context to understand what it’s acc representing, there’s a chance you could be misinterpreting that context

you can misrepresent or make illogical conclusions based on data- the biggest one being people conflating correlation with causation

"because we present facts and y'all get buthurt" do you know that you're stupid? like read what you said. i know most stupid people are incapable of noticing it, but it's right in front of you here. maybe consider that you're stupid before giving your piece next time?
