And no matter how much you try to show those fascists that you actually are a person who does things and has feelings, it won't matter! They will ALWAYS find some other way to dehumanize us because that's the point! That's what they want. To them, you already are less of a person, and they won't change their mind just because you tell and show them they're wrong. That would require empathy (among other things) which is rarely, if ever, found among fascists.

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

After several months, it's finally done!

You can read it on DeviantArt, here:

@ashcroft-writes thank you so much for letting me to mess with your story!

Alright, I can't decide which version I like more, so I'll just post both!

I've been listening to "I don't think now is he best time" and "Maelstrom" for like, two weeks straight...

Question to people who have read/are reading "Gunslingers Paean" by @ashcroft-writes :

Are there scenes in the story (so far) you think might be interesting for an attempt to be drawn as a short comic? Like 10 - 17 pages long. I have some scenes in mind, but I'd like to hear from others what scenes they think might be interesting to explore in this way.

And I really want to try drawing them...
