btw if you care about aspec people the best thing that you can do besides openly saying that you care about aspec people is to not reblog posts that are obviously just baiting outrage. you do not have to engage with things. if you see something that an aspec person says that you think is stupid that's fine. people are stupid sometimes. but then let's think down the line of reasoning that's going to inevitably follow where your harmless thought of "this person is a little too blue hair and pronouns social justice warrior/self centered/oblivious" gets turned into "this person is an idiot and it's because they're aspec" which gets turned into "awesome! an opportunity to make fun of aspecs!". not to get all slippery slope about it but a lot of you have too much faith in random people having good intentions. when there's a repeated history of people taking any fucking chance they can get to hate aspec people then maybe we can let the screenshot of this one person being stupid pass on by

#this has been in my drafts since everything in december but it remains relevant.#this is true about many other groups as well #generally when people will take any chance to hate a certain group of people. i don't trust posts #that are making fun of people and specifically mention that part of their identity #like hm. wow. crazy how you pulled that one aspec person's comment out of allllll those reviews to say it was stupid on tumblrdotcom.#good thing nobody on tumblr has ever openly mocked or hated or called aspec people homophobic before 👍#surely this post will have no consequences for the larger trends and attitudes of other users about and toward aspec users 👍#valentine notes #ace #aspec #aro
