"Autistic" has been used as a slur for a couple of years now, and your comic is no different. It's used against people with different minds and medical conditions. What makes a game autistic? Because it's different than other games? Because they require more thought and work? Because they're busier games? Using the word autistic to describe them is insensitive to those with the condition and misrepresentation of what the word means. Maybe you could use a word that already meets the definition of what you're saying rather than attacking an entire demographic?
Dude, when one is self-depricating, why you gonna pile up the hate? This post was -supposed- to be funny, There are several people who were entertained, and none harmed.
I agree, the humour is not refined and the butt of the joke are autistic people, yet I'd argue that you're trying to censor bad humour and that you're on the wrong platform for that.
I'm not trying to censor anything. People can post whatever they want, which means I also get to call out when I feel someone is using language in bad taste that I disagree with. You and OP can definitely ignore me and move on, but maybe others agree with me and want to see comments like mine. Also, I wasn't the first person to say something, I supported another comment with a similar sentiment first.
Who's attacking? It's not used as an insult here. If you think it is, you have a problem yourself
What exactly is it saying then? What does it mean to say that a game is autistic and how is that not targeted towards people with autism?
