Okay, so lemme get this straight. Hbomberguy had a fallout with some trans autistic lady who used to work for him, who doesn't seem like a very nice person, but unfortunately is the exact type of unlikeable that attracts kiwifarms like flies, so there. She blasts him on the internet for underpaying her (bad if true). He blasts her on the internet for defending pedophilic cartoons that one time (which is definitely bad and definitely true, because she did it publically on the internet). Now a fuckton of tumblerinas accuse Hbomberguy of transmisogyny and ableism, because *reads paper* this lady that he might've lowkey exploited (but there is no direct proof, so - eh?) and very provably had a fallout with happens to be trans and autistic. And also because he made fun of her (in a deleted skeet) at the same time the kiwifarms were making fun of her.
I am not very sympathetic towards Patricia Taxxon. In case you couldn't tell.
I will admit to my biases here - I like Harris as a creator, and literally the first thing I've learned about Patricia is that time she was like "I am too autistic to understand why someone might take issue with me defending lolicon/shotacon". Like my good bitch, I know I've expressed doubt about my own diagnosis before, but you know what, fuck that shit, I'm not playing around with this anymore. Patricia. I will now talk to you like one autistic woman to another:
STOP TALKING. STOP TALKING NOW, UNLESS IT'S TO RECANT YOUR LOLICON MUSINGS. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY.
I am not calling Patricia a pedophile. I am calling her a fucking idiot. I don't know if she actually finds sexual gratification in this stuff, that is between her and Haruhi, but I do know she makes a lot of arguments in favor of it, like the girl really does want to die on that hill.
Like, okay, I understand the thousand year old loli debate is in fact a debate and don't authomatically judge everyone on the "it's totally morally okay" side of it. I understand that we autistic people often don't take universally accepted moral judgements for granted in the way our non-autistic peers do.
I also understand people who do not even want to touch the approval of lolicon/shotacon with a ten foot pole, because the moral stakes of this debate are incredibly lopsided. If you are wrong about lolicon/shotacon being good, you might be approving of pedophilia, or something that is way too close for comfort for that. If you are wrong about lolicon/shotacon being bad, all you did was slander a bunch of sketchy hentai and people who consume it by association.
Like, my good bitch. I am autistic too. I can come up with clever defenses of skeevy anime bullshit too. But like. Being autistic DOES NOT MAKE YOU DEVOID OF EMPATHY. Yes, if makes it harder to tell when people are uncomfortable. But they clearly are. You clearly can tell they are. And you press on anyway, to bravely defend... Sexualized cartoon children and anyone who might enjoy that? GIRL.
"There is no LOGICAL argument against this stuff" Yeah girl, cool, now tell me arguments FOR it, you goddamn smartass. None of them are very logical either, innit?
And most definitely don't use a disability that *I* also have as a shield. You fucking cunt.
