maybe i'm just too autistic to understand why anyone cared what she thought. even on the very off chance her recipient saw it, if her recipient doesn't think she herself is a bad person then why would she care if the author did.

if her recipient doesn't think she herself is a bad person then why would she care if the author did.

Sorry, I can't wrap my head around that kind of logic.

you are terminally autistic if you don't understand this yes

Most people's emotions do not work in the way that you suggest.

This isn't autism, this is just you being fucking stupid.

Get fucked

Why do you care if I think they are fucking stupid? :)

This is sad.

Many people who strongly consider themselves good people will freak the fuck out at any suggestion they are not. For random example, I find a lot of people that both think they are good and know racism is bad will then conclude that that means nothing they say or do can be racist and will aggressively attack anyone trying to point out otherwise.

While this is true, it's a lot simpler: in general, people care when others rant about them. "Well, what they say isn't true, so it doesn't matter" is not how most people would feel about it - on the contrary: if they feel they are judged unfairly, it's MORE offensive to most people, not less as CYRT suggest.

Wow, you're not only a complete moron but also have a total lack of empathy.

dc

why are we getting all precious about the feelings of the nonce stan

You think that's why people are responding like this?

that's what this subthread sounds like? like, the argument that dg was obnoxiously grandstanding about it i get, but when like empathy and shit is getting bandied about....like empathy for whom if not the nonce stan

dc

Because "maybe I'm too autistic to understand why people care if anyone trash talks them in public" is not specifically about the nonce stan, it's a general failure to grasp common emotional responses.

I don't know or care about that person, but if an exchange participant doesn't think there's anything wrong with ranting about their recipient on Twitter because they disapprove of their fandoms, I highly doubt that they feel this only applies to people in British Royals RPF. And dememe says they have a history about complaining about exchange things in namespace, so it's not a one-off.

Nobody is arguing in defense of this specific person, but rather against the idiotic comment about not caring what anyone else thinks. That's pretty damn obvious.

Are you stupid?

Stop trying to make this wank happen asshole.

Nah, they're right. And pretending to blame autism for being dick ableist as fuck. No, the coalie upthread isn't being "too autistic to understand" why being shitty on Twitter is something that gets negative responses.

Noted.

hey quick question, what are some common symptoms of autism
