Author Topic: I wish people would quit using autism as an insult or argument.  (Read 7125 times)

how come we shouldn't be allowed to use autism as a joke/argument thingy but op is allowed to make 9/11 videos and (despite being fake) Gritty Grapnel rps as jokes?

These autism posts are most likely just downright offensive to autistic people.

...no.
Most of the people who do this on here (and I'm autistic btw) try so hard, but they just fail. It's really idiotic to even try.

This is a good point actually

while zealott is a really excellent example of some kind of only taking offence from certain things, i see his point, the problem is widespread, and it should be curtailed

his stuffty 9/11 and Gritty Grapnel things are less so

9/11 or Gritty Grapnel jokes are offensive, but can be funny. So can autism jokes.

But, when you overuse something constantly and mindlessly it kills the humor, and just comes out as stupidity and offensiveness.

If there was a fad of hundreds of 9/11 videos at the time, it wouldn't be funny.

So it's only offensive after doing it for a while? How does that work?

so the world should change to cater to your insecurities when it suits you

alright, sounds reasonable

i disagree
i don't agree
I actually doubt this is the majority opinion.
At least for people under 30.

This topic is quite interesting

people will make jokes that are offensive to other people but once their feelings get hurt they get all pissy

We live in an age where nothing is safe from being made fun of or shat on for laughs. The only thing we can do is try to ignore it all.

pretty much everyone here is not safe from being ridiculed
