What makes you think they’re autistic rather than just desperate for attention?

[(Anonymous)]

They're definitely desperate for attention either way, which is the actual problem. If we could focus on that rather than armchair diagnosing them, that would be cool.

They have repeatedly demonstrated their completely abysmal grasp of social interaction to the point where the mods repeatedly threatened to act on it, which I have literally never seen them do before, for one.

Also, they sent themselves anon hate about being autistic.

The vaguing and bringing up inflammatory topics on discord doesn’t seem to come from a lack of social understanding. It seems very deliberate to get a reaction.

They might be autistic as well, but they’re mostly troll.

I'm kind of leaning your way on this given the time they asked for good book recs with slightly different prose to shake them out of a rut. Slightly different prose than Thomas the Tank Engine.

I saw references to the anon hate, but that didn't call them autistic. Was there one I missed?

It's interesting to note that these anon hates came after D_J was told in discord that one way to get roasted on fic was to turn on anon commenting, despite this fic being four months old by then.

The craziest part is knowing the rest of the timeline collected here. When they brought up hateful comments in the discord (12/18/22), they said it was one they'd gotten "a while ago", but seeing the actual comment itself now, it was posted literally a week before they brought it up (12/10/22). This was the day after the (presumably) first time they'd been told to knock it off and get a beta by Rosencrantz (12/9/22).

The cause and effect of **negative mod attention > negative fic attention > waiting a week to cover tracks > bringing up negative fic attention** is so obvious.

I'm 100% convinced someone mentioned hateful comments in discord like two weeks before this and it was all a setup for D_J to bring it back up and join the "cool kids club" who'd gotten flamed

Seems like they're trying to fit in through brute force and just really not grasping any kind of social mechanics.

Yikes that is a giant wall of text comment. Like if you hate it, leaving a short "this sux; you sux" type comment makes sense. But who hates a fic so much that they need to write a comment that long and detailed? That's a super red flag for it either being the author themselves or some kind of BEC scenario

Angry dudefic writers. This is an obscure video game fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

I have no life and have just clicked through a few pages worth of the fandom tag. There are no other negative comments and all the positive comments are very fannish. No dudes detected.
