For those confused: this image is an example of survivorship bias. Basically, if your combat plane comes back full of bullet holes as seen above, your first instinct would be to reinforce the parts with the most holes with armor. On the contrary, however, you should reinforce the spots with the LEAST holes, because the planes that got hit there never made it back.

Another example is how injuries from car crashes increase when seatbelts are mandatory, because those injuries would usually be deaths.

What the tweet above is saying is that it may look like there’s a lot more queer people this generation than before because, in the past, queer people tended to not come out, die young, or (specifically for those who should be queer adults now) die of AIDS. (Your picture was not posted)
