I am angry

A place for angry people to come and be angry about things without discrimination.
Also, a place for non-angry people to come and read and comment on angry people's posts. Don't be dismissive to ragers because I am notoriously generous with the banhammer.
Note: I say Angry People, not bigoted people. Being angry at people for how they are born will get you blocked with an astounding quickness.
Lastly: NO MEMES! USE YOUR WORDS! (Some exemptions may apply)

I don't know you or your motivations; all I had to go by was your username.
Keep at it, by all means. It doesn't bother me
Good.
Listen IDGAF if you are on the spectrum, your conflation was a deliberately sadistic choice, intended to harm. Where the FUCK do you get off even considering that if you actually ARE on the spectrum.
Secondly, if you want to know the real fucking reason autists have a bad reputation, here's a clinical study that will ABSOLUTELY depress the FUCK out of you if you ARE actually on the spectrum:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5286449/
TL:DR; neurotypicals can detect autism subconsciously and it causes them to downrate individuals on average 30%, EVEN IF ONLY EXPOSED TO FUCKING TRANSCRIPTS.
So, you doing whatever the FUCK you were doing is shifting blame from the bigots where it should rightfully sit onto the behaviors of people WHO NOTABLY HAVE PROBLEMS CONTROLLING THEIR BEHAVIORS!
So either you are a fucking neurotraitor or lying about your place on the spectrum and either outcome makes me angry enough to punch kittens, and I fucking LOVE kittens.
How dare you question my mental state.... I guess
Since "symptoms" vary GREATLY from one person with autism to the next (hence the use of the word "spectrum") I'm gonna call at least partial bullshit on that.
Me too, actually.
Look, if you are on the spectrum, then you're spreading dangerous misinformation. If you aren't on the spectrum, then you are an abuser. So I don't really care which one it is, you're irredeemable.
You can call bullshit all you want but study after study and every one of our personal experiences proves that neurotypicals nearly always discriminate against us.
I think you underestimate people's pattern matching ability. Google that lady who could smell parkinsons, that's the kind of pattern matching we are capable of. We are literally pattern matching meat machines. It is how we survived before we developed the whole scientific method and we've only had that for like 800 years...
All those gut feelings have origin in the fact that we are a fucktonne more aware of the world than our conscious mind lets us know (which you should know because NOT being able to do that is part of the reason we (well at least I, in this discussion) are on the spectrum.
They know we're different, and it makes them hate us slightly more. Why are you giving them even more ammo with your careless memery?
Well, In my experience most people are pretty surprised when I tell them about being on the spectrum. Most people just see me as a normal person (as in, they don't see anything weird in my behaviour).
You could say that they see me as a "neurotypical", although I personally despise that word as it implies that there's something inherently wrong with people who don't fall into this arbitrary category, which in turn implies that conditions like autism or ADHD are bad and have to be "cured" (I'm not sure but I can imagine the pieces of shit at Autism Speaks loving that word).
That's entirely different from what I can see; for one, autism itself is an entirely psychological condition.
I'm not doing that, or at least I'm not trying to...
