i fear you missed the point completely.

the point is entirely surface-level, it would be impossible to miss. I fear you are unwilling to thinking critically about what it means for mentally ill people when bigotry is labeled a mental illness or mentally ill behavior

i can’t believe you’re being this pedantic about this when our whole entire existence is under threat by the government. let’s not alienate our allies before we don’t have any at all

you do recognize that mentally ill trans people are under double the threat, yeah? I just love how advocating for consideration of my own people is “pedantic” to you as soon as “my own people” is intersectional! anyone who’s alienated by that wasn’t an ally to me in the first place

mark me as unsurprised that the people who refuse to do any critical thinking re: concern for the mentally ill are also so quick to decide that my criticism must mean I simply don’t “get” the thing I’m reacting to. it’s like y’all are just Itching to call me the r-slur

you’re woke as hell but lowkey right and i'm surprised ur getting such an intense response abt it...

Anonymous #5 2d

imo the most harmful part of this is using mental illness as an insult. it’s giving “that’s gay” or “you sound autistic”

Intense response? They’re the ones being headstrong about it 😂 nobody here is taking them seriously lol

tbh I’m pretty sure I know exactly why I got downvoted into oblivion for what I said while you got 13 upvotes for saying that I was right. I’m not in the mood to get misinterpreted in 3 different directions or continuously dismissed via middle school bullying behaviors by people who don’t even comprehend what I’m saying though, so I’ll bite my tongue 👍

"intense" ❌ "bullying" ❌ idk why they got votes either. your comment is neither "right" nor "woke"

Anonymous #4 1d

well no, what I said is that I do believe I know why their comment was upvoted & mine wasn’t, I just don’t feel like wasting my breath at this point because the way I’m being spoken to is obnoxious and not conducive to any kind of real discussion “huehuehue you just don’t Get It” “r/whoosh” etc is in fact some mild middle school bullying type of shit, but dw, I def don’t expect you to have the maturity to own up to that

that’s part of what I was getting at, yeah. notice that a couple of the replies to my comment are also sorta giving “you sound autistic” (but with an added layer of plausible deniability)

i fear you don't know the meaning of the word "bullying". using sarcasm and rude phraseology to highlight one's elementary misunderstanding of a topic does not constitute bullying. bullying is not when people are rude or flippant. even the grade-school definitions of bullying from merriam-webster don't apply to this; saying "you just don't get it" is not cruel, insulting, aggressive, threatening; nor a behavior or pattern of behavior aimed at causing social, emotional, physical or mental harm

ur also poisoning the well in such a disgustingly bad faith way "u just wanna call me the r-slur 😡", "sorta giving 'u sound autistic' 😒" nah. ur simply wrong and i expressed that in a pointed manner. i didn't think u were autistic or disabled prior to u implying it, and it changes absolutely nothing about my stance. sometimes, when people are harsh and pointed with u, it's not because ur disabled or mentally ill or any such thing

bro I said right off the bat that there’s nothing here to “get” beyond the surface level, and your reaction was to reinforce the idea that I must simply be too stupid to understand the post if you really thought I was missing something, and you were acting in anything Approaching good faith, you would attempt to articulate what you thought I was failing to grasp. citing a dictionary definition doesn’t make that behavior resemble schoolyard taunting any less

and it’s funny you say that. cause yeah, spot-on, the kids who ostracized me in middle school didn’t consciously recognize that what they were reacting to was cues that I’m autistic and unstable either. they were just acting on an impulse to condescend to + punish someone who registered to them as weird, unreasonable and annoying—someone who deserved to be met with derision and whose perspective should immediately be dismissed. hmmm

"r/whoosh" ≠ "you're too stupid to get it". it means the point went over your head - hence the "whoosh" onomatopoeia. i'm sure you're smart enough to get it - if you weren't so enveloped in this woe-is-me narrative (1/?)

Anonymous #5 1d

you fail to realize that somebody not wanting to engage in a substantive conversation with *you* doesn't mean they don't want to have good faith discussions regarding the subject. your initial comment is antagonistic and repellant; and the rest demonstrate a clear stubborn dedication to a narrative. i have no desire to unpack that or convince you otherwise. i do have a desire to express disagreement though, which is perfectly acceptable. i don't owe you discourse and debate

there are no "cues" here. this is plaintext, and nothing about what you wrote or how you wrote it is a "cue" about your autism - an AuDHDer

Anonymous #5 1d

you didn't register to me as "weird" you registered to me as somebody being highly antagonistic and sarcastic to make a weak and bad faith argument rooted in juvenile and elementary understandings of a complex, nuanced topic... and i would say it's ableist to imply this is a result of - or unique to - autism. neurotypical people can also be unreasonable and annoying and i respond to them the same way

Isn’t he just taking the “trans people are mentally ill” catchphrase that transphobes parrot, and flipping it around? I don’t think he’s genuinely, unironically implying that transphobia is a mental health condition

Anonymous #5 1d

also if "r/whoosh" is bullying to you, what do you call this? it's insulting and aggressive. it's also sarcastic and flippant. i wouldn't call this bullying per se, but would you?

Yeah but he’s a left-wing political commentator. Unless you didn’t even know that about him? And if you didn’t know *literally* anything about him, then I’m confused why you would be surprised that there would be a person with the opinion expressed in the quote
