  • People often accuse me of being Autistic and it infuriates me to no end. I don’t care if I am or not I don’t give a shit about knowing. I’m perfectly fine without the label and I’ll keep being fine.

    I hate that so often we are encouraged to label ourselves in society and that just as often people seek these labels to fit in, gain community or otherwise make themselves more interesting by incorporating some quirky or less than common fact about themselves as a whole personality trait.

    I am finding more and more that neruodivergent labels are becoming the new version of houses in basic bitch Astrology.


  • The insinuation here is the obsessive behavior. The text calls it a madness so I’m guessing it was a sudden occurrence.

    I’m not an expert on Autism or other mental situations like ADHD mind you but it seems pretty likely Thrasyllus became hyper fixated on boats one day and he basically became a harbor manager for it much like you see other hobbyists become conductors or train line engineers for toy trains and that before the very modern diagnosis of Autism came about these people were considered strange until the behavior could in some part be explained by neurodivergent behaviors/tendencies.



  • I’m told by a close friend to go explore my interests in order to better pursue my own dreams and happiness. That’s what they did and it’s worked out great.

    I tell them about that stuff in my own life updating them on me and suddenly it’s deemed as escapist and childish.

    Guess I gotta do what interests them not me. Does so. They’re happy for a second.

    But that’s being subservient unless I express genuine interest. But if I do then I’m just interested because of them.

    What the fuck.

    While I agree that woman and other vulnerable populations have it far harder to have peace and safety from unsavory types I should point out that I don’t think this comic is intentionally trying to play into fear mongering just that it’s close and that people need to recognize the signs of sensationalist media trying to exploit fear and insecurities.

    I’m a little offended at your inclusion of “Threatening men” I hope you mean that it’s men deliberately threatening women as they hit on them not something so shallow as to say that you would include a scary looking man hitting on a woman as sexual assault. I feel that goes too far and is extremely judgemental of appearances sometimes beyond a persons ability to control them.

    As a man this sort of thing is terrible. Public outings shouldn’t be overshadowed by fear of attacks of any kind.

    That said this comic is extremely close to fear mongering and it definitely generalizes the male population.

    Be smart people. But don’t think your negative experiences rule the world.

    Always loved that the second I was doing better than they were or just got to a further point than them they’d rip the controller away and say something like “I got it I got it, stop hogging the game!” Then would cry and scream if I beat it for them because inevitably 12 minutes later they’d ask for help again and no amount of showing them would help them figure it out.

    Kids are fuckin stupid.
