But the dude was being an idiot the entire stream, I had to ask. He raged at me when I said that Magic the Gathering was RNG based and proceeded to not care for anything I said afterwards. I dunno' what it is about the Babyfur fandom but it certainly is an autism magnet. :/

Exactly, so I just don't know what to do anymore in this fandom, it just confuses me so.

Or you could just NOT do that. Every time, it gets you a negative response. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different response is crazy. You know better -- stop trying to one-up people with assumptions. Some people are just socially awkward. It doesn't mean they are autistic. Some just are very passionate about something -- that doesn't make them autistic.

But some of your standards, I'd be considered autistic. People are different. Not all of them going to be a cotton candied wolf creature that shits in diapers irl and online.

Some of them are just people.

oh well. Fuck it.

And with that comment, Kay won the argument that day.

Kinda rude, Dub. Asking someone "Are you autistic?" implies they might be and they might take offense to it.

Short and simple: If it doesn't work, don't do it.

...but did they ever answer the question?

MY CURIOSITY REQUIRES MORE INFORMATION.

No he didn't respond to it, everyone raged after it however.

Kay wins.

What's worse is that you post this journal in attempt to get some sort of sympathetic response. Given your reputation and negative attitude toward a specific socially challenged group that was born with this disorder, your feedback from others does not surpise us at all.

I have no qualms with autistic people. I is just the ones on the internet who blow their condition if they even have one way out of proportion I don't like is all. :/

Everyone has qualms with that; but you're always vocal about it as if something is going to change by bringing attention to this particular situation. The attention that you're trying to get with this journal, trying to get people to come on your side about this, makes me think that the "other people" you had a quarrel with aren't the problem.

Assumptions are fine, when kept to yourself.
But going up to someone, asking someone if their autistic and use it as an insult isn't an alright thing to do. It's like going up to a straight man in a pink shirt and asking if he is gay. People will take offense and I'm autistic, so I would be offended by such a remark.

I have been bullied by kids at my school for being autistic, for being different, they assumed it was alright to bully me for being autistic and that still hurts me.

I'm gonna have to agree with Kay on this one. She is totally right about all of it.

You asked for the negative response. If you ask someone that right after being in a disagreement with them, yes, it WILL be taken the wrong way. Don't blame babyfurs or the fandom as a whole because you made a mistake. I'd say more but without sounding like a broken record, Kayote basically covered it all.

That kind of reaction isn't exclusive to this fandom or any fandom. That's how all normal people (with social or developmental disorders or not) react to being called "autistic."

You know im pretty sure i remember calling people allot worse than autistic when i was growing up. should have just said "fucking stupid" instead though, that way you arent pointing out a birthflaw and nobody freaks. you call somebody "fucking stupid" and nobody says "HEY IM FUCKING STUPID" and comes to their rescue. if they did something "fucking stupid" and nobody wants to also be "Fucking stupid" the insults pretty much stop there if the person was indeed being "fucking stupid"

to say all babyfurs are autistic is really mean. not that i give a flying fuck mind you. it is indeed true that there are allot of autistic babyfurs. i can name off at least ten. there are allot of autistic bronies too. and autistic sonic the hedgehog fans.....
there are also: FUCKING STUPID sonic the hedgehog fans and fucking stupid bronies.

so next time just be meaner. or dont. because allot of people arent going to care anyways. i mean for serious. like 50 people probably just nuked this journal and where like im not touching it. im not you or your controller or even a good advise giver. but i would have just called them "fucking stupid"

I will take this advice,thanks!

yayyy :D *hugs*

This is the comment that one the "How to handle the babyfur fandom" award.
So many of them use Autism as a means to a scapegoat for their idiotic behavior and everyone excuses it because of their self diagnosis. And then they get anally ravaged when someone calls them what they claim to be.
So from now on lets just say they are being fucking stupid. It works better, and then no one can come in and say "BUT I HAVE A AUTISTIC ___ AND THIS OFFENDS ME" and people cant also use the "Dont make fun of someone for something they were born with" card.

Autism is also such a tricky diagnosis in later years that it's harder to even tell with a majority of people who have it, to the point where the stamp means next to nothing. I've been diagnosed with Aspergers since I was 10. Nine years down the road and it feels more like general social ineptitude.

Same here. They ended up treating my diagnosis as a misdiagnosis.

i call people "fucking stupid" all the time. if it offends someone i just tell them i had no other ways to express my emotions :D

great loophole right? i would say call them "fucking retarded" but then everyone with a mental disorder would lose it like you where stating.

every fandom is a monkeys paw. got to think about what you are saying or how you are saying it or some dipshit will get offended by something not even directed at them. im pretty sure life is the same way but with way more idiots

People in this fandom are fucking stupid and blow things way out of proportion to satisfy their own ego. :3

iknowrite its like stupidity vs stupidity

I agree, this is absolutely correct.

Thank you for being a good Conservative and not allowing the retards here to fuck over your mind.

uhhmm . . . o,o how did you ask it? I'm sure you were honestly curious but you asked it in such a direct way everyone thought you were being mean, right?

I did, I asked after he said many stupid things and after that I had my summation about him.
