No, it's not that you're "right". It's that your techbro-ism is showing. Not a good look.

- dash2 6y agoI'm not sure what techbro-ism means. I don't work in tech. Do you mean that as a man, I ought not to criticize a black woman's poetry? I don't accept that.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoThe phrase "on the spectrum" comes to mind.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoIt's inappropriate to make a pass at autism as the reason why the person may be responding in a manner one disagrees with towards a piece of art. For one thing, autistic poets and authors exist and can exist successfully, often with their neurodiversity actively enriching their art. (Especially given the poet in question has a disability herself, I am criticizing the assuming a disability as a way to to criticize someone's response to art.)
