Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you’d probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.

Yes.

Hexbear thought I was a troll because I have a xenogender. Eventually I got banned for saying gender neutral pronouns exist and whiteness is a social construct. They said that’s reactionary.

Well, I’m not going to have any interest in the game now.

My problem isn’t that animals died to make the game. That’s a bad thing, but my actions can’t affect it. They’re already dead. My problem is that this game is going to further extremes than any other game to deliberately include and glorify animal killing. I kinda forgive it in games like BOTW or Horizon because it’s part of the story, they’re just portraying life as it exists for some people. They’re not thinking about their actions. The dragon’s dogma people are. They are intimately aware of the fact they’re glorifying death, they took the time to think about it and said “that’s a good thing”.

Western atheism and antitheism often exist as reactions to Christianity on a factual or ethical basis, while remaining within a Christian cultural and moral context. Historically, Christians and atheists have worked together to attack other religions, such as in the case of the stolen generations in Australia or the cult panic in America. This pattern of behaviour is counterintuitive if you’re culturally Christian (as most atheists are), but from a broader cultural perspective it’s kind of obvious. Christianity and white atheism exist as offshoots of the same history in the same way that Catholicism and Protestantism do.

If you have an actual understanding of pre-roman polytheism, then you’re capable of seeing the difference between belief and worship. A difference Christians have tried to erase, and white atheists have not challenged. Giving up cultural Christianity is beyond most white atheists’ ability to even imagine. What I call cultural Christianity, they would just as soon call “common sense” or “reality”.

Also I’ve never met an antitheist who has spent longer than an hour thinking about whether they’re advocating cultural genocide of indigenous people.

Common everyday people can influence the situation. For example, we can build bombs and set them off inside gas plants.

No, I don’t expect you to become a suicide bomber. But this is the truth: how much change you can accomplish is directly proportional to how much effort you put in. I’m putting in effort.

The article speaks as though DeSantis is a person, which obviously implicitly platforms the idea that the self exists as a distinct entity. This is not a universally recognised truth; Buddhism and some other Asian religions do not recognise it. The article is biased and refuses to address the cultural assumptions put into its writing.

Yes, this fact means that everything you’ve ever read is biased. This is because it’s true, everything is biased. Everything is culturally relative. Reality is a social construct and every piece of journalism which claims the existence of reality is biased.

The word “narc” is a slur, that almost always marks out the user as a self-identifying “victim of narcissistic abuse”. It implies a number of incorrect generalizations that have already unfolded quite neatly in this thread. It has definitely become a negative term.

Personally, I would ban all victim lingo. People on “narc abuse” subs use this language to create/enhance their group identity, which is based on a number of incorrect assumptions; “I got really hurt, so my partner is deffo a narcissist”, “all people with NPD, or any degree of narcissism are monsters”, “self-aware narcissists don’t exist”, “all of them are abusers”, just to mention a few.

We are not allowed to post on those subs. I have never met any of those people, certainly never abused any of them, yet if I post in their space, I will get banned instantly, based on the fact that I have a certain personality disorder. There is a very good reason for that; god forbid that a Narcissistic person genuinely interested in dialogue would burst their bubble, disrupt the story they tell each other.

Yet they are free to post on subs that were created to support Narcissists; free to throw about their negative assumptions, demand explanations for their woes, or downright insult us.

I do not enjoy being a punchbag for “victims”, so I would see these discrepancies addressed, and limiting the use of the word “narc” to an appropriate context would be a welcome step in that direction.

Have you asked:

• A psychiatrist
• A disability expert
• A pwNPD

I’m not being an asshole. I’m saying slurs are bad. I don’t need an excuse to say slurs are bad.

You called me a slur for my mental disorder to my face a couple hours ago. https://lemm.ee/post/20523475

And in another recent post you admitted that you’re fully aware I have NPD, so it was 100% intentional.

OP is a transphobe and a lesbophobe who calls disabled people slurs when he doesn’t like them

Oh, I didn’t do that. I made a new account and posted the same comment, and THEN I deleted my old comment. I didn’t want to spam the thread with duplicates.

I was banned from Beehaw for being “pompous”. I have narcissistic personality disorder, being pompous is one of the symptoms. I was being nice, polite, and complying with everyone’s requests, but I did so pompously, because I’m disabled. You’re 100% right, Beehaw is run be ableist radlibs and their word “nice” is a dogwhistle for “neurotypical”.
