I'll "cure" their existences by ending them…
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I became a contract killer… mercenary perhaps…

Is…..is it bad that I've spent time considering becoming a mercenary?

@RedTheLoveless

Yup. Also, Salvation Army are absolute bitches too… they kick out trans and gay homeless people or "convert" them by forcing them to beg for food and clothing and make they say they're cis, straight, and happy.

It's disgusting.

it's a hate group against autism. I only found out what it really was a few years ago, but basically it's a group who believe autism is a disease and they market themselves as the good guys when in reality they do some awful things to try and "cure" people's autism

Wtf? I'm autistic, and that's just offensive. I like how I am! Do they wanna fuggin change how I am? Fite me bruh! smol angry fists of doom I'm gonna beat the shit out of them. Who says autism needs a cure? I mean, there's so many brilliant people in this world who are in fact, autistic. In fact, most people who are diagnosed to be on the Aspberger's spectrum (like me) are actually really smart and intuitive. I'm proud of my "condition" and I personally would like to have a few words with these people. They are dismissive of the fact that we are humans, normal humans, even if we aren't the most neurotypical. I mean, I still enjoy the same things as my friends. I like to play video games, read a good book, or hang out at the mall. I do normal things, I'm a normal person, and I'd like people to respect that. In fact, the first time I told a very close friend I'd been friends with for years about that fact that I was on the Aspberger's spectrum, their reaction was, and I kid you not: "Are you kidding?" and when I told them I wasn't they said they'd never have guessed, and were totally chill with it. In fact, the subject never got brought up again. So honestly, I do like to think that it's reasonable enough to say there is absolutely no need for a cure.

K, rant over now.

Yes, I'm well aware…. well aware… smol angry fists of doom As a true American, shall I say… someone's 'bout to get liberated. Actually, that's kinda the inside joke between my siblings and I, we say that at any injustice…. yeah, off topic. I agree, SA are complete bitches.

@PuffPoff

Doesn't Victoria's Secret also discriminate against trans models?

@SaltyLasagna

Well… not necessarily. That might be your take on it, but I disagree. If a cure were possible (which I don't think it is) I would support it, only because there are people with autism so severe that it prevents them from functioning on their own, and not all people with autism are smart and intuitive, and some wish they didn't have it. (of course, there are people out there who don't want or need a cure, and that's totally fine)

I can see your point of view, but I don't entirely agree with it. Nevertheless, I respect you and your opinions. I'm just not big into curing something that isn't a disease, that's all. I won't start a debate, and I respect and care about your views either way.

We cool?

@RedTheLoveless

Yup. Not only do they discriminate against trans models, but also androgynous models, plus-size models, and POC models.

The producer of VS basically doesn't think representation matters and that he can still make money by using his "perfect image" models.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to disrespect you or anything. I just wanted to point out that there are some people who might want to be fixed, but I can respect that not everyone sees it that way. We're cool lol.

@_sleeby_rat_

I agree, I would support a way to help people who have autism that causes them to be unable to function, but my problem is with people wanting to "cure" something that doesn't need to be cured. and I've got some words with salvation army, as well as several groups meant for aiding veterans that do anything but. my grandpa is a veteran and I believe I have two family members recently retired from the military, and in my grandpa's case he's frequently denied aid even just because he fought on the losing side of the war with the Vietnamese

@_sleeby_rat_

if I could punch concepts I'd be fucking one punch man from all the xp I'd get

also I would like to share that the band Five Finger Death Punch actually runs all kinds of charity concert events for things such as children's hospitals, and they 1000% support veterans and have made several songs to raise awareness for things such as the amount of homeless veterans and just how fucked most of america's systems are

@_sleeby_rat_

I recently saw them in concert, where they and Breaking Benjamin were doing a charity tour to support the shriner's children hospitals

I also almost won a guitar signed by both bands and am still salty about being one number off but that's not important

@_sleeby_rat_

it was really good! I managed to get some quality time in with my dad, and we got to walk around and explore and stuff since we were in sacramento for three days for the concert. it was pretty lit, there were mosh pits and walls of death and people drunk off their asses, it was great lol. the lineup was ashes to new, bad wolves, breaking benjamin, and five finger death punch
