A thing that's been happening online lately is people getting outraged over, not autistic people, but theoretical autistic people, so you know what, I wanna talk about neurotypicals who feel *highly oppressed*.
Now it's your turn!
See, one of the things about me is that I rarely if ever take people's grievances seriously online. And a part of the reason for that is because, well, they're *annoying*. They're stupid. They're drama queens.
It hasn't gone unnoticed that internet dwellers will often take their personal grievances and spin that into a *culture that's ruining society*.
"Society is DOOMED!!!"
This goes way back, but one of the first examples I realized this was with Foamy the Squirrel, who wouldn't stop ranting about "overmedicated children" and "the overmedication of society". But it turns out, a lot of that was just in retaliation to "What do you mean I can't say the R-word anymore?!"
And this seems to be the reoccurring trend, a lot of the time these are just old fucks who got cranky about the world changing. Oh no, they're not acceptable to abuse anymore!
"Thanks, Bill Maher the Squirrel!"
With neurotypicals, it seems that every single time any adjustment in behaviour and endurance of friction was required for the greater benefit of everyone, they will have reacted to it as if that sort of consideration is the equivalent of stripping them of their rights.
You can pick any big event in the past few years where the tiniest ask was made to think of others, and it’s almost guaranteed that there was a violent reaction to it. Which of course was then presented as *reasonable*, rather than as bizarre and anti-social.
A world where you never have to think beyond yourself, where you can take without having to give, experience the friction of being around others, and of considering those who don’t immediately benefit you - it's easy and comfortable. But it's childish and embarrassing.
