So you’re saying autism and narcissism (autism spectrum disorder and narcissistic personality disorder) are similar enough that you are certain you can relate to the struggles of people with NPD and you know they shouldn’t be concerned about having a slur used?
Suppose someone who hated Elon Musk called him a nasty word like “emotionless autist” or “robot sperg”, as examples of anti-autism slurs based on shortening the name of the diagnosis. I think this would be the same as calling your parents the slur you used. If you can honestly say you’d be completely fine having an anti-autism slur used on a bad person, then I’ll accept your use of an anti-narcissism slur on bad people. But if you think one of those two very similar situations would be ableist and would hurt disabled people, then please accept that they’re both ableist and they both hurt disabled people.

In 1979, a historian named Christopher Lasch, who had no psychiatric credentials, wrote a book arguing that modern American culture was increasing the prevalence of a particular psychiatric disorder in the general population.
The book gained a lot of cultural traction, especially among people who call themselves pop psychologists, but whose actual job is writing scam self-help books. They started using this disorder in their books as a bogeyman. They said people with this disorder are living among us, stealing our energy and resources and making us weak. Basically just a reskinned version of the antisemitic conspiracy theory.
These narratives became so popular that people started using the slur for a person who has the disorder without even knowing they were talking about a disorder. They thought it was just a word for a certain kind of bad person. Like how kids in the 90s used the R word.
You heard that word and didn’t realise it was a slur, and you used it to describe your parents.
The word is “n*rcisisst”

Are you using that word as an ableist slur or as a reference to that Greek kid who was killed for being asexual?

Because he’s a fascist, and fascists are more likely to have homoerotic fetishes than be gay.
- Comment on Tell us the truth Donny. 5 days ago:
Being gay is a sexuality. What Trump has is a homoerotic fetish.

In Contact Harvest, Truth learns of a new species that has been discovered, and apparently the old Forerunner scanners say the humans have a lot of holy Forerunner artifacts that are indicated by this symbol:
Truth goes to talk to the old Forerunner AI kept prisoner in the basement and says “You guys didn’t provide a legend with your scanners, what’s this thing?”
Mendicant Bias the Forerunner AI explains, “Oh, that’s the symbol for Reclaimer. Reclaimers are the people my old bosses chose to inherit our empire after they all kicked the bucket.”
Truth says “Wait, you’re saying this is a planet full of demigods?”
Mendicant Bias is like “Yeah, haha, I guess if you insist on worshipping my creators as gods, then you’d better start worshipping these people instead from now on. They’re supposed to be your new bosses.”
Truth says “No, absolutely not. I worked much too hard to become a space pope and I’m not letting the second coming of Jesus get in the way of my plans. I’m going to declare a space jihad against these new aliens so nobody finds out they’re demigods.”
Anyway, the new species were humans and the Covenant declared a holy war and nearly wiped humanity out. Truth also ordered a genocide of the Sangheili after the Sangheili generals started asking a few too many tricky questions like “why are we having a space jihad against the humans they seem nice”

So you’re saying I didn’t compare the KKK against anti-genocide protesters, when I pointed out the difference between them. And that’s your position derived from everyday language. Right.
Got a question for you then: We all know not to compare apples and oranges, but why would we want to compare apples and apples? I have an answer: it’s because at the supermarket, I want to choose the freshest apples to buy. So I compare them by how fresh they look. But since you say comparison isn’t for differences, why would you want to compare apples?

Autism, but it’s a pretty common peeve. Like when people use “literally” or “comprised by” wrong. Spend enough time on the internet and you’ll see lots of people having an issue with it.

Actually, comparing is the opposite of equating. In math, equations use =, while comparisons use > or <. In computer science, it’s a similar story, except equations are replaced with equality tests and also get !=.

I agree with most of your comment, but what’s so bad about comparing anti-genocide protesters to the KKK? Look, I’ll do compare them right now, and you tell me what’s so bad about the comparison.
The KKK are far more evil and dangerous than anti-genocide protesters

Yeah, the gooner weeb likes the weeb game with the suicidal children, so complaining about a blinding joke is a bit petty

Nice question dodge
- Comment on engagement 4 weeks ago:
Are you angry on your own behalf or on the other person’s? That is to say, are you angry that the explanation that helps someone else appreciate the joke will lessen your own appreciation? Or are you worried they won’t appreciate the joke they don’t understand after they understand it?

Why does other people asking to understand a joke make you emotional?
- Comment on engagement 4 weeks ago:
Oh, so your joke about us all being autistic was just internalised prejudice, got it
- Comment on engagement 4 weeks ago:
The person complaining about the blinding joke is a gooner weeb so this is a classic case of people in glass houses throwing stones.

Hot take: allism is a social disability and right here we have a perfect example of an allistic person complaining that they don’t want a joke to be explained because their allism doesn’t like clear communication. Allistic people feel an innate need to obfuscate communication because their brains need the exercise of deciphering hidden codes in everything.
