Poster: I support autists!
Poster: I hate reply guys! What the fuck is wrong with those morons.
Or another one:
"I get that sometimes Autistic people unintentionally come off as rude or mean"
"I hate people who are blunt and dry because they are jerks"
what's a reply guy?
Says Wikipedia.
so like creeps on Instagram model pages? or people that argue politics in comments? both?
Those people are awful and not who I meant. I'm talking about reply guys who point out that your joke doesn't work because it is factually incorrect. They (reply guy can be any gender) can see how it would be funny if it were that way but alas it is not.
hmm, I'm autistic and i learned that you don't have to bring it up when a joke doesn't make logical sense pretty young. as an autist, i find that shit annoying. especially when it's dudebros pointing out "that's not how guns work" in every movie ever.
