Got in a bit of trouble
We Aspies know how it feels to have Asperger's Syndrome and all the Anxiety, Stress, and Darkness that comes with it. I've read that some Aspies have unfortunatly lost their lives because of it. I express my Aspie emotions through humor and art. Unfortuatly I just got in trouble with the police surprisingly over my puppet / animation program. Someone thought that I was going to actually commit suicide even though it was just a joke on the satirical show. So the cops came over and I had to talk to my parents that it was just a joke. Unfortunatly I had no other choice but to reveil to them that I'm Genderqueer. I guess they took it well. They thought my dark cartoon was sick and they dragged me over to an theoripist emergancy meeting. Here I am just laughing the hole time telling them the freakin' truth that it was nothing more but a Satirical joke on suicide due with cartoon animation. They didn't believe a word that I was saying. They thought that I was fooling them and greating mind games, I tell the truth to the pharapist, he talks to my parents alone.............THEN THEY believed me and appoligized. It's kind of a funny story now.
But now they know that I'm Genderqueer so......they want me to see a theoripist every other week. My father keep asking me "You like Tomboys and not pretty girls". I smiled and said yes. Surprisingly I didn't get upset with any of this. Maybe God helped me, I don't know.

I think the thing that made it more...I guess fine situation wise was-you liked girls

I've told my father that I'm into Masculinity but not the Male Body. Fortunatly, he wasn't angry with me.

WTF, I hate how the authorities act like suicidal people are screwed in the head and need to be locked up in mental hospitals! If people are in such a state that they would rather die than remain in society, that is society's fault! ![]()

"genderqueer"????? why do they invent new labels for the tinyest of subtleties now? my god :S
i had a, well, not SIMILAR, but, i dunno, this reminds me of something from when i was a kid:
i was flipping through a comic book, before going to a family dinner. i thought a comic book character was making a lame face, so i immitated the face. my mother thought i was crying, and INSISTED i tell her what i was upset about.
i kept telling her about how i immitated the stupid face in the comic book, but she didnt believe me. furious at my filthy lies, she sent me in my room, and left for the dinner without me ![]()

In my parody on myself, I did this fake newscast and one of the things it said before I became the personal b***h for 4 Tomboys and was used for their G*ng B*ng parties LOL was the joke where it said that in Augest I wore a dress, walked around New York City and tryed to commit suidice but I was too chicken and didn't care for psysical pain much. LOL That was the joke plus me animated as an 100 year old dead man thrown on a trash pile and lit on fire in a cartoonish fashion. And because of this, The public access station calls the police to make sure that I wasn't commiting suicude in real life. I told my parents that It was just a joke, I wasn't really planing a Suicide attempt in Auguest of 2009. They didn't believe me so they took me to see my Mental Doctor, He believed me and then after my parents came out from the room, they believed in the truth that I told them for about 20 minutes or more. LOL
And like I said, they now know that I'm Genderqueer / Androgyne / Bigender so......from the looks of everything, they are taking it well surprisingly.
At least I don't have to hide my Tomboy stuff anymore! ![]()
Holy cow, I learned a new word:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer
Actually, I'm sure my old roommate who used to use that word over 10 years ago probably considered me in that category too, since I don't care about girlie-girl stuff and a bunch of people assumed I was a lesbian. Whatever. I didn't bother to look it up at the time. I just learned to wear some slightly different clothes in order to appear straight. Just makes life easier, since I'm indeed straight, eh?
By the way you have to realize that doing comedy about suicide is going to make some people question whether you're suicidal. Especially parents. Especially if you cast yourself as the character.
Yeah, the public worries about stuff like that. But I did the fictional joke as a satrical and comical roast on myself even though the joke isn't based on reality.
Through out my show, I've knocked on Celebrities and even friends that I'm no longer friends with either in animation or cartoon forum. The personalities that I would give them would be extremely exaggerated in order for me to find it funny.
All I was trying to do was to give myself a change to laugh at myself and have the show attack me as a character. I thought it would be funny to me, I don't think about the audience because I'm an artist and not an entertainer. I laughed at it, people I'm currently friends with laughed at the idea. The Public Didn't! And that's I think what went wrong.
No one can see the inside joke but me and my friends. Though at the same time, It was in cartoon animation and you aren't really suppost to take that sort of art seriously.
Well, I toke my show off so I can save myself from a nervious community that can't handle rough comedy.
My parents told me to not quit doing what I love doing, it's just that this world isn't ready to take on such a full plate persay. They said if the world in 5 years from now becomes a bit safer and less crime is around CT or even the world, maybe I could re-run this episode and the reaction might be different.
Even though it was just the one little person on the planet, This world is kind of immature and emotionally enstabe to handle satire, especially community television.
My goal was to do satirical humor and laugh at was is true in the world through puppets and cartoons even if the world wasn't in it's best shape at the time. But because of 911, because of crimes in schools, because of war, because of the ecconemy in America, there's a lot of stress in the news...........so I just have to wait until the world is in a more emotionally healthy codition.
In the meantime, there's always the internet. LOL
Why not?
Okay, maybe I said this wrong. In General Animation can be both serious and or Funny because it's an artform.
But the point that I was making is that I drew a funny looking newscaster saying these terrable fictional things about me. That was the joke!
I don't know, without seeing your work at all I wouldn't be able to say whether a funny-looking drawing of a newscaster would make me take it less seriously. But yeah, a lot of people out there don't really think of death and suicide as funny at all. Most people think of those things as scary as sh!t and would rather not deal with them.
Is your stuff online anywhere?

Unfortuatly, I had to take most of my satirical stuff down for a bit due to the fear of critizum.
I think everything is funny if it's done through animation and puppetry. I watch South Park all the time so you can already tell my kind of humor. LOL
To me, it's either all okay to laugh at or none of it is.
But like many Aspies, I'm very obsest with my interest which in my sense, wild, crazy and weird artistic humor.
Not everyone is going to understand my humor, that I understand. But to keep it brief, Asperger's Syndrome is PURE EMOTIONAL HELL! Unfortuatly the dark feelings do get the best of some Aspies and they do commit suicide. I don't find this hilarious by the way, because it's REAL not FICTION! But anyways I'm an Aspie too but when dark feelings get me down, I laugh at them. That's my positive way of thinking IMHO!
I can understand that lots of people don't have the ability to laugh at the world, and probably those people don't even want too and that okay I guess. We are all different.
I've been thinking about the whole situation for about 2 1/2 weeks now and I need to move on.
I want to continue my show on the internet but I have a fear to do what I love doing.
It's like being rude and insulting isn't me personally, I just find it funny when puppets and cartoons are rude and insulting modern society and the world.
Sure Death is traggic but what I feel humor does is it trys to lighten up the subject. But like most of you already mentioned, not everyone has a care-free sense of humor.
Hopefally the internet will provide me the freedom of speech I need to keep my humor safe and alway from the complaining public, besides I'm only a cartoonist and puppeteer, so I can only go so far. LOL
