Hey mods, you can remove this if it’s off topic, but please don’t ban me. I’m not sure if it’s ok, but I have a personal story about how political correctness has fucked with aspects of my life. I was in 9th grade math class. I thought something was stupid so I said “well, that’s really autistic.” Student next to me and teacher turn and are like you can’t say that. They rant and rave and complain about how terrible it was that I said that. I get berated and get in a mild amount of social trouble among my peers. The main line everyone tells me is that I’d understand if I was autistic. Ffw few months and boom, sophomore year I find out I’m autistic. Nothing has changed. I’m still the same person and I still think that it’s okay to call something autistic. It just doesn’t make sense to tack on social cues to help people who don’t understand social cues. Ffw a year, I was in junior year. Dating some boring ass chick who likes horses. Okay, I think, horses are different and I want to date women who are different, like me. I’m different, so I should accept them being different as well. So I’m dating this girl, and out of the blue, she calls me up. She says she doesn’t want to date me anymore. I ask why, and she says I made a joke that was over the line. I asked what one, and she said the nazi joke. To be clear, while I lurk here, I’m not a nazi and only have larped to deradicalize before. I’m libertarian right. I didn’t even make a nazi joke. I told a joke about race or corporations hating people or something, and then she said she was offended by it, and then I said, AS A JOKE, A JOKE ABOUT A JOKE, ‘so no nazi jokes then.’ I asked her if she thought I was a nazi and she said no. I told her that I wasn’t, because I wasn’t. I accepted this bitch when she wouldn’t get accepted, but she wouldn’t do the same for me. I told her I was autistic when we started dating and she said she didn’t mind but she obviously did. Picrel
