Lol someone tried slagging me off on another forum calling me autistic. Imo it's bannable and no different to saying things like you're a retard, you're gay or get cancer. Certain people just have no class.

Equating autism with retards is probably also a bannable offense :P

Technically he's equating calling someone autistic and calling someone a retard. It does make a difference, and a pretty significant one I think.



Can someone show me what this autisitc screech . first i herd of it.

I thought retard or spaz were the terms people through out at others. As in meaning why you being stupid or a fool.

Autistic is literally being born with a disability so it is different to me.

Boy, this is getting annoying. Eventually we'll have no words to express ourselves because they will all be labeled offensive by some group or another. We'll all just talk in grunts. But then certain grunts will be labeled offensive.

You can't express yourself without resorting to attacks like "autistic"? It's essentially the same as calling someone a nigger or a faggot, people are born with autism and it's not a choice that they made. Obviously autistic can be used in non-offensive ways, but that's obviously not what Curl is referring to.

I like 'sperging' more than 'autistic'.

Sticks and stones dude, grow up. Its sickening people are so afraid of words these days,ehy not own it and any hate in the term is removed because you own it and give it no power but making threads like this yo tell people what they should and shouldn't say is jusy giving people ammunition. Im fact, I won't, but I want to point out the obvious irony of this thread just out out spite.

Go back to your 'safe place' or your 'cry closet' and not tey and force your censorship on others because your feelings are so fragile.

Sticks and stones? Want me to send you articles of people committing suicide because of bullying?

If people are that weak they commit suicide because of name calling then they light as well go out on their own terms because life will just chew them up and spit them out anyway. If name calling is the worst thing that can happen to someone's day to day life, I think its safe to say we have it pretty good and easy.

Ah great, so your response is essentially "might as well just kill yourself". I can see you have no empathy at all for them, maybe if you had to deal with the constant issues of having autism and dealing with bullying you'd be more sympathetic. I may not have autism myself, but I know those who do and they really have a hill to climb in order to be successful.

Its sickening people are so afraid of words these days, why not own it and any hate in the term is removed because you have taken it away and give it no power but making threads like this to tell people what they should and shouldn't say is jusy giving people ammunition.

Jesus, we need a war with a draft to weed out the weak in our society. Wait until you face real strife in your life and someone using a mental illness as an insult will be low on your list of thing to worry about.

Triggered!
