This makes me think of all the idiots thinking Sweden has the most rapes in the world. Sweden has the most reported rapes in the world because Sweden has the broadest definition of rape in the world. Meanwhile, North Korea has zero reported rapes. People used this statistic to show Sweden had the most actual rapes in the world. Anyone who believes that is stupid but even Trump parroted this shit.
