remember how there was an autistic barbie that used an aac board and there was a "fan redesign" that "improved it to be more accurate" and they removed the aac board and just made her a furry. i think that's the most succint example of how level 1/low support needs/whatever you call it autism is seen as the "default" online and the only those autistic people are worth listening to.

“If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.” ― Andy Weir, The Martian

And just for the record, many of the people who would happily reblog this have posts cheering for the kidnapping, rape, and murder of people for their ethnicity and nationality. You are not only part of the problem, you are actively contributing to the rising violence and mob mentality that is killing your neighbors.

i think it would do a lot of people good to remember that Mormons are white supremacists, no nuance, no debate, no arguing how they've gotten "more diverse", their whole belief system is fundamentally rooted in white supremacist ideals

Good work on everyone that helped elect Trump, including the people who voted for him, didn't vote, wrote in some silly name, or voted third party. You successfully put the dumbest and most vindictive man alive into one of the most powerful roles in the world. And he's using that power to rename a fucking lake.

Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.
