Hi everyone,
So I found this picture on r/AutismPride. And this was the picture:
This is really upsetting to me, not only is it ridiculous, meme/joke or not. This also makes uncomfortable due to my PTSD from gunshots. So I made it better:
What do you think?
Note:
The rainbow infinity symbol represents neurodiversity.
The golden infinity symbol is represents autism. This is because the element Aureate. Which start with “AU”, which is also the first two letters of the word Autism.

WHY TUMBLR
Oh gawd, I hit refresh. This update. Why. Why is this changed. Give me back my clean space. I hate this. I hate everything about this. Someone hold me. I’m going to have to readjust how I navigate and I do not like it. T.T

Please tell me that RE4 Remake learned from 2 and 3 Remake and actually gave their characters a personality... I'm so upset over how bland everyone is written to be. I watched an analysis on how the games compare to the originals in terms of characters and what drives them and I was shocked how dirty they did everyone. I just finished RE3 Remake and Jill literally has no shred of a personality. I'm so tired of the "unphased with a one liner for every situation" writing that has crept into games and tv :/

"Listening" doesn't mean "blind obedience". Quit saying I don't listen just because I don't obey you. You're not my fucking boss.

Some of you need to learn the difference between nodding and shaking your head-
I’ve seen far too many people write “he shook his head” when meaning yes- shaking your head is interpreted as no, it’s a way of saying no without saying it. NODDING is yes, which I always found confusing but it was explained as “nodding off to sleep” which I always saw as someone standing up and sort of wavering their head up and down avoiding sleep.
TLDR:
Nodding = yes
Shaking your head = no

My phone got a new update and it completely screwed up A03. :(
Everything EXCEPT the body text is fucking huge. That is, if I want to comfortably read anything anyway.

On Discomfort and Morality
My father finds gay men uncomfortable.
He's told me before that it's like a knee-jerk for him. Something he doesn't consciously control. He sees two men behaving romantically, and his body reacts with mild discomfort.
In the 1960s, when he was in high school, most of the boys in his form thought he was gay on the simple fact that he wasn't homophobic. He wouldn't participate in insulting queer people, he didn't care if someone was gay, he wouldn't have a problem hanging out with gay people. So people thought he was gay. That's how prevalent homophobia was in his formative years.
When I was 10, my dad told me very seriously that Holmes and Watson were gay. That it was obvious from the literature and the time period that they were meant to be a gay couple. When I was 14 and I came out to my parents as bi, when my mum was upset my dad ripped into her for it. Told her that she was being stupid, that it was my life to live how I wanted to and that she needed to get over herself.
My dad formed my views on censorship: that being that it was completely ridiculous and thoroughly evil. He didn't believe in censorship of any kind. If I asked him a question about sex, he answered it honestly. When I was 12 and I asked him about homosexuality, still young and uncertain, he told me that there was nothing wrong with it. That it was just how some people were. That there was likely an evolutionary reason for it. And that for some people it was uncomfortable on an instinctual level.
He taught me that just because you're uncomfortable with something, doesn't make it wrong. He also taught me that most people don't understand this.
I see a lot of this on the internet as of the last few years. The anti shipping movement, the terf movement, the anti ace movement. It all stems from discomfort that people have crossed wires into believing means wrong. Really every -ism and -phobia out there stems from this same fundamental aspect of humanity.
The next time you see something and you automatically think it's disgusting, or wrong, or immoral, I invite you to ask yourself: is this actually wrong or does this just make me uncomfortable?

the beatles are an infuriating band to me as a relentless contrarian. liking them is cliche, hating them is cliche, being indifferent towards them is cliche. it's impossible to have an novel or interesting take on the beatles in current year. like how am i supposed to win here?
