Why? The red and orange are close in color, otherwise it shows if it is green in color, more women commit suicide than men, then the ratio goes up by color
If it is green then they have the same average right? 1:1. But in this graph it would be difficult to show when more women committed suicide, which might nowhere be the case.
The numbers, right there on the bar, and the text at the top of the image.
“male to female suicide ratio” and then the numbers 1-10, it even explains that it’s (men’s suicides / women’s suicides) so anyone who doesn’t know what a ratio is can enjoy as well
The title explains it… If it isn’t clear by that, it explains what that means in the text below. That my explanation was necessary is not really the fault of the infographic
See now, when I say lemmy users are the dumbest bunch of people I’ve ever seen outside of YouTube comments, people say I’m being too harsh. But this comment is currently at +45.
This is confusing as shit

Or you’d get 0.5 with a color match, for example.
Women literally never commit suicide at the same rate or less, that’s kind of the point.
You needed to explain that for it to make sense
That’s the point of the color bar on the bottom, a part of any good graph
The color bar means nothing without any label.
The numbers, right there on the bar, and the text at the top of the image.

Does this help?
It does but if it was good it wouldn’t need an explanation.
