The term โfandom moderateโ will never not be funny to me.
โIโm really not here for discourse, Iโm just into fandom to have fun and Iโm not really inclined to mix my politics into my fandom activity.โ
โWow, sounds like something a centrist would say lmao. Why do you hate the proletariatโ
for real, though, why do recipes consistently tell you to use less herbs and spices in than you should. fuck yourย โtwo cloves of garlic,โ fuck yourย โhalf teaspoon of cinnamon,โ and you can absolutely go to hell with yourย โdash of black pepperโ
Iโm pretty sure that the only time Iโve ever actually managed to overseason food was when working with balsamic vinegar, which is the most overpowering motherfucker of a sauce known to man
i appreciate the energy and anger in this post, which is righteous and just
Any story claiming to be a deconstruction of fairy tales but has nothing to offer except new types of violence, more explicit sex, and a general attitude ofย โlol happy endings arenโt realโ is like. such a cultural waste of time tbh
know what actually is a good deconstruction of a fairy tale? Shrek. It fucks up just about everything in a normal fairy tale and still manages to have a happy ending with a good message and never once has to be โgrittyโ or โdarkโ. Itโs actually really well done.
โThe trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.โ
– Ursula LeGuin, โThe Ones Who Walk Away from Omelasโ
In dark times such as these, it is absolutely revolutionary to be happy.
Enough with the โAutistic with a hidden talentโ stereotype.
I get why Allistics thought it was a good idea. Maybe they meant to say โjust because youโre Autistic doesnโt mean you canโt have skills, look at Rain Man!โ
Iโm sorry, as an Autistic person I have license to say that it completely backfired.
Youโre not saying โAutistic people can be smartโ any more.
Youโre saying โAutistic people owe us some sort of super talented to exist.โ
Autistic people do not need to be geniuses to be valid (and Iโm a top student myself, but I can still see the problem in this). Autistic people do not need to prove themselves to be extraordinary, or โwork twice as hardโ to get basic respect.
Autistic people do not need to be extremely talented in order to be appreciated, pass it on.
