I'm not "making fun" of autism - I think that having a socially harmful personality as a result of an undiagnosed condition is a pretty sad thing, and when faced with behavior that's indicative of a presence on the autism spectrum I don't really think there's any reasonable response but to say, hey, you might have autism.

I often use the word "sperglord" to describe peeps with autism who for whatever reason have a legion of fans that enable their ****ty behavior (Mew2King), or "sperg" to describe people in the same boat but replace the legion of fans with a dysfunctional sense of community, and I understand that that's not necessarily a widespread perception of those words, so it's understandable that people will often be insulted - but basically the difference between someone saying someone is ******** and me saying you might have autism is that the former is someone just trying to insult someone's intelligence, whereas I'm saying like, hey, you should probably speak to a psychologist.

This like when Bill O'Reilly calls children living in poverty "urchins" and says it is a term of endearment.

I'm using this excuse to cover my ass until the end of forever.

Playing Mario Galaxy again for the first time in years.

I forgot how legitimately good this game was. I also forgot how easy it was to 100% Mario's side in a single day like I did the first time I played it. XD

Still, having a fun time. I still love how absolutely adorable the Lumas are.

Somebody buy this ****ing man some premium. I can't tell you how many times I've watched the Dark Tournament arc. The relationship and development of character between Yusuke and Toguro is absolutely incredibly well done and well-written.

That's such a scumbag move.
How are they going to cover the bills?

Edit: I hope the Apex staff or the Ninty rep files a lawsuit for this crap. Amazing that they would put so many lives in danger for $$$.

I'm so angry/bottled-up for several serious and personal reasons that it feels like my veins are going to explode.

Do you have any tips for stress relief? Smash sure as hell doesn't work, and no, that's not how I got this upset, I got upset over something that may actually have and already has had dire consequences.

Bleck I'm curious how you justify making fun of autism so much since you called out someone recently for using the word ********?

I'll give you a chance to explain yourself, but it seems rather hypocritical.

Bleck's perfect for a bait and punish.

He throws out a post that seems relatively safe to punish, but just like lucario, it cancels on hit and allows him to not only break your shield, but cause mad disrespect at the same time.

I'm always wary of that match-up. gotta respect those tools at his disposal.

Wow, every time I see Bleck post, I think he gets a bit more conceited. I thought he'd reach a limit at some point, but he's really pushin' the meta, I'd say if he keeps pushing his AIDs quality posts they may go all the way up to Cancer. Not bad.

...And... Back to Ignore.

Considering that I have been actually diagnosed by an actual doctor, he disgusts me, too.

I feel ya, I was diagnosed when I was young and I TBH I've done everything when I grew up to not be associated with it.
And honestly, I really don't care if people use it in a derogatory way because I understand that the meaning in that situation has no correlation with the actual diagnosis and getting offended over something that's not really trying to attack me is pretty much the dumbest thing I've seen of my generation.

But damn, this ****** has the most ridiculous double standards I have ever seen. Get off your ****ing high horse, trying to cover your stupid **** with more conceited bull**** doesn't stop you from looking stupid.

But whatever, I'll just wait for your stupid rebuttal that you'll use to (poorly) cover your tracks.

I understand what you're saying. I don't think autism is an excuse for bad behaviour, but it is a reason.

However I do think wording yourself and explaining yourself (like you have here) would be far better than simply throwing out those terms. We have to be careful of the words we use sometimes, because people interpret them. With words like "autist" being thrown around so much as an insult lately, its very easy to assume that someone throwing out "sperg" would be trying to insult the person, by comparing them to a mental disorder. While you have your own definitions, and do not mean to be insulting, its easy sometimes to be misinterpreted. I'm not mad or anything, (lord knows I've been guilty of saying the wrong things) but a bit of explanation never hurts.

Also I think it counts for something that it bothers some of the autistic people in this thread. It might be worth re-examining word usage.

The Tier List thread is talking about Stitch turnips. Makes me remember when I recently played my little brother; He waited for me to pull a Stitch and when I finally did he did something weird while trying to jump and airdodged offstage to his death lol
