Autism, It's affecting 4 out of 2 children today! (Disccusion because i want to know more)

A thing can't really be considered insulting if it doesn't offend anyone.

Evidently you'd never heard of white-knighting. It doesn't matter if the people it's intended to mock don't care, I care and therefore stop.

The intent may not be there, but that's still how it comes across. It's in a similar vein to saying "That's so gay!" when you mean "That's so stupid!" It sends the message that being gay is bad and/or stupid. I personally don't think that insulting someone by labeling them with a disease is right. You can still call people stupid lol.

I'm literally gay and I call people, objects, and situations gay all the goddamn time. I also refer to people as faggots and homosexuals as insults. Why do you get to decide what I find offensive?

Perhaps because I think it's offensive? Why do you assume that I have to be gay to find that offensive? I mean people are still going to do it, nothing is going to change that, but it still sends the message that being gay is bad and that's why I don't like it. The same reason I also don't like people using "stop throwing like a girl" or someone yelling "LET'S GO LADIES" to a bunch of men as an insult, because it implies there's something inherently bad about being a woman. You don't have to agree with me, but I personally don't like my gender or someone's sexuality being used as an insult.

So you're just saying you're offended then? So what.

There is no part of me that is skinny, so doubtful.

[Darus Grey]

Speaking of which, can we as a collective please stop insulting people by calling them autistic?

No, that's our word and you can't tell us how to use it.

[kuronosan]

So yea, that's what I mean by white-knighting.

People who aren't affected in the slightest by something yet take ultra offense when someone says it.

I mean, I guess you can encourage people not to say things like that because it's offensive to the people the word is designed to insult... but if they're not insulted, then why care at all?

[thetruepandagod]

Because damaged feelings or ego are the most pressing problems of these times.
