dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Also I hope people in here are decent about plurals. r/fakedisordercringe is another one of the "be normal debatebro-l" instances

Don't forget constantly using person-first language when talking about autistic people, using the deprecated and Nazi-collaborationist namesake "Asperger's", and the pick-me autistic people who always chime in on mainstream discussions to validate anti-autistic ableism:

"I have high-functioning Asperger's and I hate it when [autistic people do or request something].

Autism is no excuse for not doing [thing I am capable of but which others may not be capable of].

Personally, I hate other people with autism who don't fit into allistic society as well as I do and it makes me resent people with autism who don't because it makes us all look bad."

*Shudders*

can you explain what you mean by this? i'm autistic but i don't really know the controversy about it

The word autism to me isn't like "something I have" but rather just a descriptive term about me and my traits. It's like

"That person is nice" = nice person "that person is mean" = mean person "That person is into art" = artistic person

Autism is just a label, an observation made that "hey people with X and Y trait also seem to have A, B, C trait in common". I would be who I am with or without the word existing so putting it as something I "have" rather than am feels odd.

But you're free to use and prefer what you want for yourself.
