my dad (who is right behind me) says this with somewhat regular frequency
… i think it’s. uh
a thing. he’s right by an extremely technical definition (i do like being autistic) but like.
he’s always referring to the “Increased Brain Capacity” (read: i have skills just like anyone else) bits i think
yeah i think i lost that and started getting upset at the sentence existing in this realm of space
It does make me irrationally upset to think about
Like tutuu has succinctly demonstrated the thing I strongly strongly dislike about people spending vast amounts of time and energy hating on, like “pick-me girls” or “autism is my superpower” people is, which is that this hatred gets transposed onto anybody with the original traits that people supposedly have a superiority complex over. Suddenly all masculine women are “pick-mes” and thus worthy of derision, and all autistic people are “autism is my superpower” people and thus worthy of derision, even if they’ve never said anything remotely to that effect
Guy who copes in an annoying way >>> guy who finds some members of a marginalised group annoying and transposes those traits onto all of them
Also the stupidest fucking thing about hte whole “pick-me” imaginary category: masculine women, a group of people who are FAMOUSLY extremely heterosexual and doing it for men’s attention, as opposed to FEMININE women, who are not,
wait what do i hafta do with all that
Do You Think Men Like It When Women Don’t Shave. Do You Think They’re Getting Picked For That
i didnt know “pick-me girls” was just a term for masculine women
It isn’t but it is
i dont think pick-me girls are a term for masculine women?
i had a friend who like said that all the time but i didn’t think that’s what he was saying
oh fair
at least ive never seen it used like that
It’s one of those things where people mean completely different things when they say it
so sorry i am Having trouble understanding words right now can you bring this down to a 5th grade level
ah
ive had to reread a few of your posts im struggling rn
i think this guy was just saying that he hates girls who like. vie for men’s attention n shit
