- firstbabylonian 5mo agoSelf-hatred is not a good look.
- DaiPlusPlus 5mo agoNoe you’re making me self-conscious about when I get into a self-hating mood; unfortunately this gives me yet another new reason to hate myself: it’s not a good look.
- Muromec 5mo agoThat's a very privileged Westerner opinion to have.
- dacops 5mo agoBuzz off. If you were trying to make a joke, it didn't land. It scans as ableist twat.
- Muromec 5mo agoWhich part of this you think is a joke?
- dacops 5mo agoIt was either a genuine ableist comment or a ham fisted attempt at sarcasm poking fun at ableist folks. I see now it was the former. Edit: Pre-empting the inevitable "how is this ableist?": I don't mind the use of a reclaimed slur, I'm a big proponent of that, tbh. I use them all the time. What's ableist is the idea that spouses have to deal with their partners. The idea the autism must be a negative in a relationship removes agency from autistic people. My spouse is not my nurse, I am not someone they have to "deal with".
- simulator5g 5mo agobroseph, lowkey you need to read a little about emotional regulation, this person was not trying to disrespect anyone
- sleight42 5mo agoThis is incredibly offensive. Mods, please see to this comment.
- mtizim 5mo agoWhy? I have mild tism, I found it quite funny and quite real, it even felt good to be seen.
- thin_carapace 5mo agopersonally I think it's important that parents (especially those who raised kids requiring significant time investment) can vent to express themselves. coming from this perspective I don't really care if a slur or two goes flying, so may I ask what was so incredibly offensive?
- simulator5g 5mo agoits alright bub some of us autists thought it was funny
