  • This is clearly an unpopular opinion, but I can’t upvote it because of how horrific it was for a lot of people.

    I’m on the spectrum and without that context this post might seem really terrible. I can’t stand it when I see other autistic people glorifying things that are utterly horrific just because it tickled their introverted tendencies. Just because you’re autistic doesn’t mean you’re introverted and just because you’re introverted doesn’t mean you don’t need social interaction. Lack of social interaction will completely destroy your mental health. The fact that you made a ton of money that year tells me everything. Many people were forced by the government to close down their businesses even if they weren’t at risk. Many other people ended up unemployed when their businesses shut down from lack of income.

    This post reeks of privilege.

    Celebrating unimaginable suffering that led to suicide is one of those things that makes me hate being identified with other autistic people.


  • This isn’t an unpopular opinion outside of Lemmy.

    We have a problem with mega corporations asserting control over the population and the market, especially social media companies. It’s pretty naive for anyone progressive to be ok with that because all it takes is someone like Elon Musk buying a platform to radically change the political landscape. Republicans could also impose laws that prevent certain ideas from propagating on social media platforms. It’s pretty naive for progressives to be ok with social media censorship just because it’s benefitting them for the moment.

    Capitalism has a real problem now because of the level of technology that we have. There are inevitably near-monopolies because of how hard it is to start viable competitors. There are also software based monopolies because you don’t have access to the iOS store on Android or the Google Play store on iOS.



  • You’re right about emotional baggage and I could have been clearer. I don’t want someone who’s perfect or emotionally unavailable, just someone who’s not dealing with as much as I am. It might seem entitled or whatever but there are plenty of disabled people who are married to non disabled people.

    I would also make an effort to fix myself, mask, and not be a burden. Both partners have to be accommodating.






  • God does not want anyone to contribute to the suffering of disabled people. Suffering can be a test from God, but He does not want anyone to be cruel to anyone who suffers, even sinners. He wants us to save them by inviting them to the true path. God will reward us for enduring suffering without being broken by it. He will also not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.

    Holding a grudge is like lighting yourself on fire and expecting the other person to burn. Objects of hatred become idols. By hating people who did terrible things to you, you are turning your worship away from God and choosing to wallow in your own pain. Nothing that you do will ever undo anything that was done to you. The best that you can do is forgive them and stop letting them have power over you. You can punish them by living as your fullest authentic self in spite of them. There are evil people who will get away with it in this life and it’s pointless and tragic to damn yourself by hating them. By hating and obsessing, you’re giving your tormentors power over you even if they’re dead.

    God and His path are the only things that can take away your suffering. By choosing religion, you aren’t choosing a lie, you’re choosing the way, the truth, and the light.

    I won’t pretend that you’ll never suffer. Life is suffering, but God can take away the pain. There are people who are severely disabled and were constantly denied justice, but they are happier than people who live extremely comfortable lives.











  • Being objectified and harassed sucks, but I still disagree. Dealing with creeps sucks, but you’re far better off being attractive as a man or a woman than being ugly or plain. I’m on the spectrum and I’m certainly at risk of being exploited, but if you’re an unattractive autistic male, you’re severely disabled and you have a monumental struggle ahead of you. I still believe that disadvantaged males and incels don’t have enough empathy for girls who are attractive. We might be able to get dates but we also have to deal with serious predators who will abuse us once we’re alone.

    If you’re an unattractive autistic male, you’re going to be completely screwed for jobs. I have older friends who work and they got hired at the same time as girls their age and they got dumped into jobs like bagging and denied promotion because they aren’t attractive and they’re denied social skills.

    The dangers that come with being an attractive girl are literally life threatening but it’s still understandable why there are boys who think that it’s worth it from their perspective.
