Welcome to the “underground” scene, where middle school level behavior is still regarded as the height of sophistication.
Almost like actual adults who still sport non-drug-addled brains should run away as quickly as possible.
- explaininjs 3y agoIt is, in a sense, the opposite end of the "autism spectrum". An innate deep understanding of social cues and general empathy.
- twixfel 3y agoThe German "underground" scene is just completely backwards and childish. They're so forward thinking and advanced that they've wrapped right around having experienced some sort of integer overflow and started caring deeply about how other people (strangers) dress all over again. Like being back at school. The "scene" is a joke.
- vinckr 3y agoNo one in the scene cares deeply how you dress, where did you get that from? I would advise to spend less time on social media and experience the real world before you comment on it.
- twixfel 3y agoIt's unique to the German scene and I live in Berlin, I understand the scene thank you. Germany is unique in how predisposed with the superficial its "alternative" scene is, without any doubt. Spend less time in Germany less time on social media and more time in other countries and you may begin to notice this. If all you know is Germany then a lot of very strange behaviour will be normal to you.
- projectazorian 3y agoMagical thinking and crackpot beliefs about being able to read into people’s souls with a single glance? Seems pretty spectrum-y to me. At best.
- vinckr 3y agoIf you ever worked a club door you would know that you can very quickly categorize people into "fits" or "doesn't fit". It does not have anything to do with magical thinking or beliefs, its years of experience and a deep understanding of the culture and clientele that visits your venue. Of course you don't have to participate if you don't like it, there are plenty of clubs (in Berlin too) where you just pay entry and thats it.

- explaininjs 3y ago"Tell me you have limited social intelligence, without telling me..." And thats fine! I do too. But to claim it's impossible just because we are not good at it would be absurd.
- projectazorian 3y agoI’ll happily go out on a limb and say that people who believe they have acquired inerrant powers of scrying because somebody let them work the door somewhere are arrogant at best. It’s really a great example of the narcissistic desire for power and control that drives the behavior of a lot of people in the scene.
- explaininjs 3y agoYes, bouncers can go on absurd power trips for no reason and get a kick out of flexing on the peons. And yes, it is possible to quickly assess someones P(an issue) after a career of observing tens of thousands of people and whether or not they were an issue. These things can both be true. [And keep in mind a false-positive matters not-one-bit-at-all, whereas a false-negative is (quite literally) an issue.]
- wkat4242 3y agoThe fetish scene has remarkably high numbers of people with autism and other behavioural disorders. I think it's because the scene is so open and accepting above all. You can be yourself.
- explaininjs 3y agoWouldn’t one expect non-normative sexual desires to go with non-normative mental conditions? But that doesn’t have much to do with the bouncers.
- wkat4242 3y agoI don't know, not really. From what I see a lot of people have these desires but rarely act on them. People often tell me in confidence when I mention what I do. I think it's a lot more normative than people think.
