Which only adds to their point, actually. You literally just proved that their lack of representation did not mean they didn’t exist - there were other reasons.
So, if leashing kids is both common and normal/acceptable, then why the fuck are they hiding? Are you saying that the world is full of closeted child-leashers who just leash their kids in the privacy of their own homes?
Something’s lack of representation in media is not exactly a reliable metric of commonality, if it was, gay people sprang into being in the late 90s.
The point being made here is that gay people existed long before it was socially acceptable to be gay, and that the number of ‘out’ gay people goes up as the social acceptability goes up. This would imply that the same population percentage of people are gay, and what changes is the visibility. This is supposed to be an apology for why I don’t many children on leashes.

Stop making unfounded assumptions and return to reality.
Why did you ask why they’re “hiding” when it was never stated or implied that they’re “hiding”? Even in the “gay people” metaphor, the gay people weren’t “hiding”, they just didn’t openly display their homosexuality. Hiding would be staying at home and never leaving, in that scenario.

Who said they’re hiding? I don’t see that claim anywhere. Do you have a link to someone saying they hide their leashes, please?

I did read the thread. You asked why they’re hiding. Who said or implied they did?
You didn’t even read my last comment.
