if youre in an environment that tends to concentrate autists its easy to see someone deeply odd and conclude "oh, they're probably autistic". but "not autistic but hangs out with autists and is deeply odd" is a whole type of guy. mat and reggie on here, scott alexander, possibly aella. but you shouldnt let psychiatry trick you. autism seems to be a sort of real thing, theres a cluster of seemingly unrelated strange traits that are correlated with each other, which is weird. but psychiatry is just like...a tool we have, we havent Solved Human Personality. you can just be a strange guy in a way psychaitry doesnt understand

transmisogyny and transphobia has done such a number on feminism and the fact that its bled into the mainstream is actually oustanding......... if someone in 2014 said that women are biologically and intellectually weaker than men thered be a buzzfeed article mocking them in the hour, now it's like. policy.

The way people demonize seagulls is actually unreal. Almost all of their natural habitat has been destroyed (almost all coastal areas have been developed, destroying natural sand dune ecosystems) and they're doing their best to adapt. They're literally just trying to survive. You're in their home. The vitriol some people have for these gorgeous sea birds just because they're not shy about snatching food if you're not cautious is insane

People on here are always like "fuck capitalism, why can't things be weird anymore" and then write up a whole dissertation about how the biggest IPs need to change to be weirder.
Like, you are so close. You are so close to getting the point. "Big" IPs *can only exist because they are normal*. They will *never* be weird. They will *never* do what you want. Go find some smaller IPs. Bring back discovery. Bring back never having heard of a book before you buy it. Bring back watching obscure anime online that none of your friends know about. Bring back trying new things, even if they're bad or cheaply made. That is how you get *weird*.
