Tumblr!

I recently made a post criticizing a character who's a Mary-Sue and someone almost IMMEDIATELY jumped me and accused me of being prejudiced against those with autism-spectrum disorders, because the character has a "disability" (I put it into quotations because it's not used as a disability in the show, just as a character quirk), and apparently this person has personality traits in common with the character, and they got REALLY mad and said it was suspicious that I criticized a character who was similar to her (a person with autistic spectrum disorder.)

1) Why the hell are you taking a criticism of a character as a personal attack on yourself
2) My criticism of the character didn't come from the character's disability but from her personality itself
3) I have SEVERAL close friends with autism spectrum disorders. I am not prejudiced against them. I do not treat them as inferior for their disability. But I also don't treat them like "special angel baby snowflakes who fluttered gently down from the heavens uwu" because that's demeaning. I treat them like they are people, because they are.
4) Grow up.
5) Upon looking through this person's tumblr, I learned that they are a self-diagnosed autistic individual... ("Guys, I think I might have an autism spectrum disorder because I'm anti-social and socializing is hard for me and I don't like people--" shut up. You're probably not. You just want the attention.
 
I hate the ridiculous over-politically correct people on there. Once someone on tumblr accused me of being a racist because I mentioned something about the fact that different blood pressure drugs are usually used on people of african Caribbean origin. :l Like ... that's just a fact and no matter how NOT racist you are, you can't ignore the fact that there are differences between races. Honestly :rolleyes:
