Using autism and cancer in comments and as a derogatory term...

[AnnaRosa]

Man, people are so touchy. The internet is not your personal safe space. I honestly wonder how you people function in real life because it seems like no one is allowed to criticize you or call you a funny name without you getting offended and calling the bully help line. Honestly, are you this touchy with your colleagues and bosses? Jeez.

So what?
You probably will be touchy about other subjects and people won't be complaining about you being touchy.

Sound so: wah wah wah ppl r touchy wah wah wah why no accept outdated jokes wah wah wah been training outdated jokes on the mirror to look funny for so long it doesnt come out that fasionable wah wah wah

However don't let me stop you do what you want all the critics you want pull those critics from whatever place you like I can nod even if you like again if that makes you happy and self-realized.

The cancer this thread gave me is beginning to spread to other areas of my body.

If my Zodiac sign is a cancer I guess I can't tell anyone about it or associate anything with it.

Remember horoscopes? I remember them.

My starsign is also Cancer. I honestly hate it when discussing starsigns, I have to say "I'm a Cancer". Like, I know it's just the name of the starsign, but it's gotta be the star sign with the worst name. D:

Oh noes, I lost a supporter. Me sad now! Meet you in the Wolve's Den SerLuke.

Eh, I'm still kind of a supporter, I agree with the overall message, and I don't disagree with how you left the FC, I just don't really like how it seems that you posted it to lure out old FC members. And no offence, but some of your posts are a little bit cringe, I feel like this thread could have been handled a lot better.

Can somebody remove this thread already? It was pointless from the start, and now it's actually harmful.

Hey look, OP has found more crazies. This game does have a knack of bringing them out of the woodworks.

I never understood the whole "Your autistic term" I mean I am mildly autistic and I am pretty sure I am relatively average. Is it because they cannot say retard anymore? Just trying to understand, is autism a relatively degrading term? The way I see it, autism just makes me think way faster than my body or other parts of my brain can cope or react. Not sure if that is the same as some people wanted it to be. Hope that clears things up. XD

This was one of if not the first comment on this issue above, I waded through the thread on this. A few posts later I personally made a comment myself and don't actually remember making too many other comments on the subject either. I choose not to do this as well because I feel people who suffer with condition need a voice too and most certainly don't need my input on what they go through with the condition.



To which I replied...



I feel I must elaborate on this last comment, somewhere in this post I mention someone I deal with day in and day out and said person really does try my patience with the way he is, however, I accept it and deal with it. Even if...



Quote, unquote...

See dude, I was originally supportive of what you were saying about not using autism as an insult, but as soon as I mentioned that you should edit out the morons thing because its taking away(from what I thought) was was the point of your post(before I realized it was some passive aggressive attempt to lure your former mates out). Its ironic that you quoted me on how I deal with having autism in an attempt to say you want to cuss me out or fight me on wolves den or something yet you started out by arguing autism shouldn't be used as an insult? I did not personally insult you but simply tried to reason with you then when I bring up my struggles with autism you seem to hate me now, so it seems you really don't have all that much compassion towards people online that actually have autism spectrum disorder which makes me think that was just a lie to get this thread going.

My Goal is achieved, thanks guys all your help has been appreciated. No matter how backward people feel I have gone about it, I literally have no mind to make any more comments I felt it would have similarities to Brexit and I'll be here for years trying, 2 sleeps not bad!

Soul OUT!

It's not that you quietly left your fc and went to another datacenter, it's not even that you decided the best place to stage this conversation was on the public forums that I find truly pathetic. Beat your drums or whatever you wish to do, but what I find most pathetic about all of this is you're using autism and cancer as an excuse to vent this drama you had with your FC.

People who have genuine feelings about this topic came here to discuss things, only to be spurned because they were never the topic in the first place. Your "displeasure" towards your FC was. They were just a convenient stepping stone.

Did I say pathetic? I meant disgusting. At least the people who use these terms colloquially aren't actively abusing them to achieve some stupid end.

Soul...really?!? Here's what I don't understand, instead of coming to me (or anyone else) you're posting all this mess on here! Well congrats you've gotten what you wanted, attention. You left a perfectly well meaning FC full of people who enjoyed playing with you because you got "offended" over a MACRO, and yes offended is the correct term because here you sit stirring the pot.

**CONTEXT**
I had just gotten out of a really (I mean REALLY) bad Orbonne run. I of course made a comment about how I wish folks would learn the mechanics and dodge aoes (normal stuff to complain about). That's when the now infamous macro popped up. Everyone got a laugh at it, no ill will was meant or anything like that. No one complained, no one called foul. Fast forward to the next day: Soul just ups and leaves the FC without even a word. I even tried to check in on him to see how he was doing and what had happened, but Soul marked himself as busy and wouldn't accept any incoming messages. We were actually concerned, because after a while you start to develop friendships with your FC mates, and when something like this happens you want to make sure that they are ok. I was saddened when this popped up in my feed, and confused how someone could take offense to a macro that had no hidden meaning or was wishing actual cancer on anyone (but I would expect most grown ups would have agreed with me).

To Soul:
I hope that your next FC is a good one and that they take a liking to you like we did. I'm really disappointed that you left us without saying a word and that instead of coming to me like an adult and saying anything you have chosen to take this route. Maybe it's because I've grown to the point that airing out my grievances in a passive aggressive manor online is beneath me, that I don't understand why you did this. You've done nothing but hurt yourself in this whole experience.
