That's like telling a gay person that he is dripping with gayness or homosexuality, people can have the freedom to do that offcourse and im a defender of freedom of speech but it makes you sound like a childish douchebag and it does not help to do that in conversations and surely not if you want them to open up.

BTW the OP just asked everyone to be nicer, thats not much to ask its not like he wants to restrict freedoms.

Except no, you're conflating known symptoms of a mental condition to gay people. Read my previous post to VGP.

 

And most of my irl gay friends would be ecstatic to be described as "dripping with gayness".

The symptoms have a very widespread variety and most that call others autistic doesn't even know what the hell they're are.

Hey nothing wrong with friends joking at eachother but this is about having some decency against the ones that aren't you're friends.
