Utah's anti-transgender bathroom snitch line has gotten over 12,000 complaints — only five were investigated, and none turned up anything.

    Preface: I don’t care at all what bathroom anyone uses, just a silly lighthearted comment:

    But I do find it a bit funny that the headline mentions 12,000 complaints, but leaves out that only 5 of them were even looked into, lol.

    Sensationalism is everywhere, I guess, lol.

      Read the article. The rest were obvious jokes, and the 5 they thought may be “plausible” didn’t result in a substantive complaint.

          I was just trying to alleviate any confusion, cuz your second line made it sound like maybe you thought the rest of the calls weren’t even listened to. Muh bad

      Interesting. I inferred that the vast majority were joke complaints to illuminate how absurd the hot line is just by reading the title.

      Sensitivity is everywhere, I guess, lol.
