Sometimes I get messages about certain dialogue in my comics about how a character is being passive aggressive when I'm just writing them as straight forward and blunt.

idk, as an autistic person who's dealt with genuine harassment several times (including a few months ago) because his straight forward and blunt demeanor was misinterpreted as being "rude", "ungrateful" and "bitchy", its just kind of interesting seeing people interpret dialogue in a more hostile way.

it's not a complaint, i prefer those fictional interpretations over terminally online twitter users who need to be coddled over everything but it is kind of fascinating seeing how people interpret certain dialogue.

#txt #also funnily enough made me think of chappell roan's stupid discourse #like hearing her speak casually and without sugar coating her words and everyone is calling a rude ungrateful bitch #i could not help but think 'wow she just like me fr'#its also tragic bc i swear we were finally acknowledging this weird 'overcorrection' in interactions people have been having online #where now everyone has to talk to someone and reassure them at the same time because they're so scared of backlash #but social media has become so volatile that we're back to people screaming at neurodivergent people because they think #blunt honesty is being passive aggressive and rude
