Ignorant is actually a synonym for stupid so technically there isn’t a difference in those words you used (⊙…⊙ )
The word would be gullible *
I meant to add that (￣∇￣")
Damn if Jujucat said this to me I would cry for days
Eh but it’s still not the exact same. Stupid usually means that the person is lacking intelligence. Ignorant usually is meant to be used when someone doesn’t know information- stays unaware of the things happening around them. That’s why the sentence being used: “they were ignorant and stupid.” Is correct and used often since they’re two different things. That’s also why people use the word ignorant instead of stupid in many cases.

Example: a shoujo manga where the FL got executed along with her family members. Despite her family being the ones doing the crimes (over-spending their money and not paying attention to their citizens), she also had to pay the price because she was ignorant (she wasn’t called stupid). She knew something was up but at the same time decided to stay ignorant and not find out anything about the citizens and just enjoy her family and friends company.
Another example is Daisy from the great gatsby. She specifically says she hopes her own daughter is a fool. Meaning she hopes she has a beautiful lavish life while staying ignorant to the terrible things (like herself). Daisy chose to run away from anything bad and wanted to not tell the truth or find out secrets her husband was having- choosing to stay ignorant on purpose.
can y'all stop calling the fl stupid, she's not stupid, she's ignorant there's a difference. she was abused her whole life and is traumatized/has abandonment issues, of course she's going to get strongly attached to the first person who ever showed interest in her. i know this is fiction but it's rlly unfair to call a survivor stupid just because they don't know any better.
