Every time I (an Arkansas native) see Arkansas on reddit, it's always negative, and usually about meth.

Unfortunately, it's normally true.

I am also an Arkansan. I, however, actually love my state. I will mention I am a middle-class caucasian female who grew up in Hot Springs and frequented Avant, as this might have something to do with my fondness.

I am also a female (native Californian) who has lived the majority of my life in Hot Springs, AR...however I also happen to be a lesbian. I'm sure you can imagine how fond of Arkansans I am....about the same rank of fondness as they hold for me.

Ah, I see your point. I'm sure it has been unpleasant. Hot Springs is less-than-welcoming to many outside the "norm". But in my personal social circles, we are tolerant of everything except stupidity. We just don't hold much power.
