because i don't like discourse on main

It’s Magic Word Leftism. You say the Right Words to prove you are Correct and then you don’t have to elaborate and you don’t have to think any deeper. If someone else says The Magic Words you don’t have to question that they are telling the truth — they said The Words — so you know it’s true and spread anything they say. At this point you could publish the writing of Henry Ford and add in the right buzzwords and people who genuinely think they are helping would post it across all their platforms.

I wouldn’t like tell someone they’re not autistic or whatever because it can be so helpful to kind of find a label for the thoughts and feelings you have etc. And again I don’t think a lot of these people are “faking” it like how a lot of people back on old kinblr faked mental illness for kinblr points. I don’t see a big issue with calling yourself autistic and not turning out to actually be, my biggest issue is do you think about how you’re treating other autistic people. Do you care about lower functioning autistic people’s autonomy. Do you understand how your autonomy could be effected if you’re professionally diagnosed? Do you know anything about what being autistic entails in the face of the public, or even friends and family? It feels like they’re utilizing the label without understanding that autism isn’t solely a good thing

Are you going to stare at the person on the bus stomping and flapping their hands. Are you going to make fun of a classmate who can’t handle public speaking well. Do you feel awkward around people who need caretakers and aids. Do you give the person with a “mental age of a child” the time of day when they try speaking to you. Do you treat these people like people or do you act the same as any other ableist while having “autistic” on your carrd

reminder that swerfs are just as much our enemies as terfs

There is no such thing as an unproblematic piece of media, production team, or morally-pure person. There isn't. There's only "what flaws I am willing to put up with," which is going to be different for every person. If your friend has a different level of acceptable bullshit than you, it's probably fine, actually? The sooner people learn that, the happier in general they will be.

Some adults that are into animation geared towards children really sound like “man this new episode of Learn Colours and Shapes with Blimbo was really mediocre and can we talk about how abusive it was that Shrimpy literally gaslighted Blimbo on the playground? 🙄”

"depiction is not automatically glorification" can and should coexist with "some depiction is glorification and you need to be able to tell the difference"

Please add to that list "apparent glorification in the first 15% of the thing does not constitute real glorification if the remaining 85% is dedicated to suffering the consequences, deconstructing the damage and changing ways" because some people around here don't understand how the three act structure works.

Y'know yeah i will absolutely add this especially since people keep saying fight club is an example of glorification. Genuinely thanks for having one of the few good additions to this post

we need to stop treating terfs like misguided feminists and start treating them like the dudes in tf2 voice chat who try to have a moral debate with you when you tell em not to say the n word. like these people are not well intentioned they dont want social progress they want to be able to call people trannies with impunity and thats basically it, radical feminist "theory" is a joke stop taking it seriously and trying to refute it with Facts And Logic

i am once again asking liberals to extend the criticism they had of trump to the united states as a whole

Meanwhile us olds are like: I don’t have a carrd and I’m not reading yours

Please don’t advertise your personal information, anyone could find that and use it however they want.

Oh my fucking god it isn’t 1998 anymore no one cares

??? Wtf does this mean??? 80% of employers google you before hiring you, child predators use that info to groom kids, abusers use that info against victims, police/government track activists online? Do you honestly think the internet has gotten safer since 1998????

also don’t tell any rando who wanders onto your blog with unknown intentions the specifics of how they can trigger you???? no????

the concept of people’s idea of the most vile media they can possibly think of being a cartoon network children’s show is so funny to me like not even a honorable mention of lars von trier or whatever. excessive fandom participation really shrinks your view of the wider world.

Please do not leave deaf, disabled, mentally ill, and autistic people out of your conversations about police brutality.

50% of all people killed by police have a disability.

And this is coupled with the fact that Black folks with these conditions/disabilities are way more likely to be seen as having “behavioral issues” or being “dangerous” or “noncompliant.”
