I'm being serious. I'm a Bi Zoomer so I wasn't there for the aids crisis. But I did graduate college during the Covid Pandemic, and I followed all of the rules. I wore my mask, barely left the house, the works. Covid was a lot less deadly then aids and avoiding it was a lot more intense. Am I supposed to pity guys that couldn't stop fricking when I was able to not leave my home?
I'm being deadly serious here. I want to understand why it was so bad.

About 10-15% of gay men have an absolutely unhinged number of s*x partners, like 1,000+
Even if it was just these guys dying that would be a lot but then theres also collateral damage from these guys lying about the number of s*x partners that they had and infecting others, bisexual (especially black) men infecting women, etc.
That said the absolute number of people affected by this is smaller than people imagine. Everyone involved was incentivized to make the epidemic sound bigger than it was, whether it was because they wanted funding to end the disease, to portray gays as being punished by sky daddy, to accuse Raegan of homophobia
What's actually crazy is how many people still get it considering you can literally just pop a pill and not get AIDS
