    You’re not going to get robbed in Eastern Germany or Austria. The local population might give you shit if you’re not-white though unfortunately.

    Also western Poland isn’t any better than Eastern Poland.

    To claim any area in Europe (well, except for maybe Ukraine due to the whole war zone stuff) is “don’t fucking go there, keep the fuck away from it” is hilarious sheltered and/or (most likely tbh) racist nonsense.

      I’d dispute that but I don’t really feel like getting that deep into it. Like Szczecin and Rzeszów feel like two different countries, and there’s a reason the idea of a Poland A and Poland B is extremely widespread here. But is it as severe as the shitty infographic wants to make it out to be? Not really, except if you are LGBTQ+, you’ll be a bit safer in Poland A… But still safest in the big cities is Poland A.

        I mean, I’m from Mazowsze, have family from Lubelskie and go to Lower Silesia fairly often since it’s the closest area to go to from Southern Germany.

        There’s less chuds in the west, but the difference isn’t really that big. You’ll get beaten up by a football hooligan for being visibly gay in Wrocław the same as in Lublin.
