IMO, one of the most annoying consequences of people treating autism like it's just quirky special interests and nothing else is that people will say "autism isn't an excuse for [known symptom or common trait of autism, including actual diagnostic criteria]" with no irony.

I've seen "autism isn't an excuse to be a picky eater," "autism isn't an excuse to struggle with tone/misread sarcasm in a post," "autism isn't an excuse to be bad at social cues" (with the comment of "literally just go out and learn by talking to people, it's not that hard," as if autistic people don't already do that), "autism isn't an excuse to not make eye contact, that's so rude," "autism isn't an excuse to wear headphones in class or work, nobody else gets to do that," and "autism isn't an excuse to be unemployed/live with your parents/not leave the house enough" (wondering if this person has any idea HSN autistic people exist?). Some people here are like half a drink away from saying having flat affect is "literally weaponized incompetence!!!" or something. I'm starting to wonder what you people think autism even is. Because if you've found a way for autistic people to turn off the most basic symptoms (like sensory sensitivity or difficulty with social settings), that's news and you need to share your incredible findings with the world immediately.

(Disclaimer in case one is necessary: I am not talking about assholes trying to use autism as an excuse for bigotry, like white tumblr users being racist about rap or musk's nazi salute. I am talking about things that autism symptoms actually cause, including things that are completely harmless to others but are treated as problems simply because allistic people find them weird or annoying.)

The only comment I will make on current events - at least before people calm the fuck down - is that y’all couldn’t recognize a smear campaign if it called itself one openly.

i think in a world where the political right is aggressively trying to portray all trans women as pedophile invaders, making it your job as a trans person to hunt down trans women who you personally believe to be dangerous (based on, let's be real, information gathered through stalking campaigns from people who have nothing but malicious intent) makes you also a fascist

Losing my mind at this van that's formatted like a fucking meme

people dislike ai users and their first idea what to do about it is to invent a 'slur' and make "hard r" and "- will not replace us" jokes with it. total right wing cultural victory

when people look at a character from a book or game or comic or show and go "oh thats a femboy" theres basically a 99% chance this is a transfem who exists on a spectrum from actively misgendered by the narrative to vague ambiguity to just an out and explicit trans women

btw if you're bored as an artist you should try learning to draw fat and skin folds, it genuinely is really fun once you get into it.

fat liberation without feedism is honestly like queer liberation without kink. like, you're not a liberation movement when you exclude sexual aspects you find distasteful, and distaste of feedism always comes back around to disgust for fat people expressing joy about being fat.

its kinda insane that hyperstylization of skinniness is seen as artistically neutral but hyperstylization of fatness immediately denotes it as "fetish material". this isnt even to say it can't be fetish-based, but that it isnt allowed to be neutral unlike skinniness where super exaggeration is just an artistic choice, a style, not a representative of reality and presumed to just be another way to depict skinniness in a recognizable way for the artist's style. but if you place emphasis on a fat character's body features in a specific way, it can only be a fetishistic caricature? not a way to explore the shapes of a body or to experiment with perspective or whatever else you might say about a skinny character?

Fantasy/DND AA4 designs. I think no one knows Apollo is half gnome, they think he's just a really short human and he doesn't correct them
