Quaint, you telling me what my problem is. Wonder how that’d go if we flipped the roles.
Slur isn’t really the right word for what was previously just an objective medical term with an actual definition. Ya know, like autism is, despite some people’s best efforts.
While there are objectively detrimental types of autism that hamper an individual’s ability to function independently, mostly I’m just annoyed at anyone not violently extroverted or that ever picks up a book being called autistic.
I would consider being inaccurately labelled a valid reason to be upset, no matter how “bad” the term is. Same reason it’s dumb to consider certain types of male fashion “gay”, just let people enjoy shit.

Go on then.

It is a slur now, and you know why it became a slur? Because people started using it to refer to people with deveopmental disorders as an insult, to liken them to such. Because they felt that having a developmental disorder made you less than human! And when it became a slur, it was then used to bully and harass people like me and its used means that you consider “developmentally retarded” (in the medical sense) people as something bad.
Nobody stops you from enjoying shit and there’s nothing wrong with some things being considered more girly, or gay or more autistic if you don’t consider being girly or gay or autistic a problem.

How this any different than your use of the word autistic in this context?
You’re making bad arguments to defend what I think is a bad opinion. You can ignore me if you want, but I’m not going to just let dumb, no effort comments to me just go unchecked because you want “chill”.

Because pointing that autistic people tend to like some sort of games is not meant to insult either those people or those games?
All autistic people like these games? All autistic people are the same? So these games are autistic?
You seriously need to chill instead of desperately trying to pick arguments under a meme
