Autist was the noun, 'white' and 'middle class' were used as adjectives. I don't agree with your assertion.

How does that make a difference? You can't change whether something is good or bad by swapping around which bits you describe with nouns and which with adjectives.

Also, who wants to bet that post was made by a white person?

Well they used the phrase "people of colour", so I'm willing to guess so.

My experience is the reverse, can't think of a time a white person used it, can remember a bunch of times black people used it.

Oh, Bizzaro World (aka America). Got it. Over here at least the only people who would use it are old racist people. The rest of the time you just... go by the person's actual race. You know, rather than singling out white as some sort of super-important skin colour by which all others must be compared.

Yea, just the fact that some people think I'm autistic causes me to get discriminated against. My dad likes to populate the rumor that I'm an Aspie, despite the fact that I took an autism test that showed I had maybe one symptom, and otherwise zero signs of being anywhere on the spectrum. (I have trouble with eye contact most of the time, and I'm pretty sure that just has to do with social anxiety more than anything.)

There's also the fact that if I were black and physically disabled I would be one of the least privileged people on the planet. I mean I'm trans, I'm a woman, I'm technically homeless (unstably housed), I have mental illness(es), and I'm definitely not straight. I remember taking one of those 'check your privilege' tests and scoring pretty dang low.

FAKE EDIT: In fact...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If that's the privilege test I'm thinking of, that was made as a parody. If anyone even chose Africa in the parody test I'm thinking of then they got -999 points from that choice alone. So a white cis hetero non-disabled wealthy banker living in Africa would still fall under "oppressed" or something like that.

Dammit, guys, stop arguing about how offensive I am.

Being autistic was the subject of the derogativeness- white and middle class was used to exaggerate, but the thrust of it was a slur against autistic people. Using them as adjectives before something insulting doesn't mean they're also insults (e.g. taking offense at somebody calling me a glasses-wearing shitlord doesn't mean I always take offense at being described as glasses-wearing.)

Dammit, guys, stop arguing about how offensive I am.

Try apologising and doing better in the future.

You are a 0.86 Reddits worth of shitlord.

Okay. I am sorry for offending you.

An artery has been opened by the attack!
The Shadow Dragon has been knocked unconscious!
The Shadow Dragon stands up.

that works

Nooooo!
Damnit OW, you don't apologize to these people!
That's just letting 'em have their way whenever they chuck a tantrum. Such poor parenting!


Edit: Oh right, I was so distressed I forgot my Happy.
Happy: picked up a bunch of frozen vegetarian meals from the discount supermarket. This stuff costs over $7 a box at the other supermarket, I got five or six boxes for less than $13! Now, let's just hope they taste as good as the other brands I've tried.

I realised there are more important things in life than shitposting.

[Putnam]

what the fuck are you doing

[Orange Wizard]

Mostly just getting antsy at the lack of happy in the happy thread.

[Descan]

then stop insulting people, that's not happy, that's just being a dick

When you just call someone an 'autist', it's kind of got the same connotations as calling someone a 'blackie', or 'a gay'.

Every time someone use the word "auteur" I always think it has something to do with people who have the autism spectrum disorder.

[Niccolo]

Soooooo I'm thinking we should get back to talking about happy things. 'Cause, y'know, happy thread.

I get to head home and visit my parents soon! Whee! I haven't been home in ages. It'll be nice to be able to wander around doing very little and playing with our puppy

I GET TO HUG MY FEROCIOUS FURBALL OF A PUPPY!

Except apparently he's reached the "I'mma eat EVERYTHING" age, so I may return toe-less. Oh well.

[Loud Whispers]

I love how we're speculating over that poster's motives when clearly someone had access to the thead at one point and they could have just taken a picture of it.  Rather than a single post in a vacuum.

Yeah I'd rather not dump loads of porn onto bay12 lel
