I’ll just mention some stuff I see people unknowingly spread on this site

-88 means Heil Hitler. 8 stands for H because its the 8th letter of the alphabet.

-83 means Heil Christ, the 3 meaning Christ because C is the third letter of the alphabet.

-14 is short for the Fourteen Words which is  “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,”

-Punished/Risen is something fascists put in their internet names when they return to a site after getting banned

-Triple parenthesis like (((putting someones names in between parenthesis like this))) is a way they try to say someone is Jewish

-Trad is short for traditionalist, can be also often seen with Tradcath which means Traditionalist Catholicism and Tradfem which is stands for traditional feminism

-G*psy is already a racial slur on its own but fascists also shorten it to g*p when talking about Romani people, I’ve seen a lot of y’all reblog dumb memes from fascists who have that shortening in their url

-Stuff like Elites/International Elites/Global Elites/Globalist Elites/Lizard People/Satanists/NWO (New World Order)/Illuminati in in regards to talking about people in power is code for talking about conspiracies about how jewish people are secretly ruling the world. I see a lot of y’all reblogging shit with this stuff in it especially in regards to Epstein and Zuckerberg

-People with military shit and norse mythology and celtic shit in their internet names are usually fascists

-The Othala/Odal Rune is used as a symbol by many fascists in both of these shapes

but i’d also recommend being suspicious of anyone weirdly into norse runes regardless

If anyone wants to add anything feel free, keep it to fascist dogwhistles though 

I feel there were so many ways the game could have gone differently for a protagonist.

1. Kaede simply stays as a protagonist and Shuichi dies in Chapter 1. Shuichi shows encouragement and supports her but Kaede’s decision to do things herself causes Shuichi to take the fall and die. Someone who was by her side since the start dies because of her and that guilt weighs heavy on her. It makes her realize she can’t just do things herself but has to follow her own advice and work with others.

2. Shuichi is a girl and Kaede is a guy. This would put an interesting twist on things due to people not suspecting Kaede’s death more due to being a standard male protagonist. Shuichi would come off as being a female supporting character like Chiaki and Kyouko and everything would be in the status quo. When Kaede dies we get a female protagonist with an arc and proper development and it’s the guy who supports her and dies giving her purpose to continue the story. Plus her dynamic with Kaito would be a bit more touching due to them being a platonic male/female friendship mostly due to the game giving them love interests already (Kaede and Maki).

I’m anti formal diagnosis. I don’t think a formal, medicalized diagnosis of Autism is important for someone to have. I don’t think it makes any sense for Autism to be viewed and understood through a clinical or medicalized framework. 

Hear me out. 

Autism is not a disorder or a disease, it is a neurotype. It is a fairly common way of the brain working. The more we learn about it about how it manifests in various populations, and the better the (pretty fucking shitty) diagnostic tools get, the more people we discover who live and belong under the Autistic umbrella. And since Autism is a series of spectrums – each Autistic trait is itself a spectrum of its own – a lot of people live in a middle space between full, iconique stereotypical Autism, and complete neurotypicality. 

We know already at this point that Autism has genetic components. It runs in families. We know that lots of people have gone undiagnosed for decades of their lives, because the prior diagnostic categories were shoddy and limiting. We know that access to an autism assessment is difficult and expensive. We know that people who meet every diagnostic criteria for Autism get turned away by assessors on a regular basis – because they’re women, or because they’re trans, or because they just “look” too “normal” or whatever the shit. And we know that in families where Autism runs, there are lots of family members who never got diagnosed or assessed, but who have a ton of Autistic features that impact their day to day lives. 

What all of this means is, at any given time, there are probably more un-diagnosed Autistic people, or autism-spectrum people, than there are people who are diagnosed. And there’s also the fact that if you’re an adult, getting a diagnosis… doesn’t generally change jack or shit about your life. You don’t get any benefits. There aren’t specific, well-researched adult “treatments” for Autism, because it isn’t a disorder you can treat or cure, it’s a way of being in the world. 

In many cases, getting diagnosed with Autism as an adult can make your life worse. For many years, you couldn’t immigrate to Canada if you were Autistic. In many places, you can’t get access to trans healthcare as easily as allistic people can if your doctors know you’re Autistic. Autistic people regularly have their agency stripped from them in various ways. It’s not beneficial, unless you’re pursuing a workplace disability case in court or something, to have that stigmatized feature of yourself on your records. 

What I am proposing is a framework of Autism that is completely non-medicalized. Therapists and doctors and neuroscientists had their fucking chance with us, and they blew it. They called us less than human. They erased those of us who weren’t white cis boys who loved trains. They tried to cure us and created more stigma for us. They advocated to have our kind completely erased from existence. They ignored us when we asked for help managing the social and sensory traumas of existing in an allistic world. 

They don’t get to define who we are and what we need anymore. They botched the fuck out of it. I am pro self-realization of Autism. I am pro self-identification as Autistic. I don’t care if you would be categorized as Autistic by some outmoded ass diagnostic tool created for children and later adapted, poorly, to flag a handful of stereotypically Autistic adults. I don’t care if you spent thousands of dollars trying to get a bigoted doctor to validate what years of self-knowledge has taught you. I truly don’t care.
