Why do autistic people on this site like 4chan?

What ? Where ? Who ?

I call myself ret*d because I am. I just looked the word up on google & the definitions I got wereI am those things except I'm physically devloped.

A few people...of course not every autistic person on the site.

I never actually went to that site...just have seen and heard enough about it that it makes it seem disgusting. I mean perhaps there is sometimes just funny things on there but I get the impression its really only mean hearted/degrading type humour towards other people that is the main feature.

Back when facebook forums existed there was a group of trolls who regularly referenced/talked about 4chan in between flaming and bullying people. Its like they'd just pick a person and then go on for pages and pages with mean comments and jokes about the person...happened to me, happened to other people on there. Those forums don't exist anymore, that was back when I was like 16-17 but still that paints a pretty negative picture of people who find value in 4chan.

You have used the word 'ret*d' approx 37 times in 21930 posts and I doubt one those was used as an insult to others.

I've got to rush to work so I'll have to fish out the relevant threads later

Never used it before.

I think you have to keep in mind the age of these sociopaths.
Overwhelmingly they would have to be under 25.
Male kids, in particular, can be a***holes before their brain is fully developed.
The less evolved part of the brain often has dominance before the neocortex properly kicks in.
A developed neocortex usually brings greater ethics, personal integrity and humanity.

Yes, they are human feces at that time, but if you look at them from an intellectual, rather than an emotional perspective, they are really only embarrassing themselves.

What do these kids get out of being trolls?
The main thing that comes to mind is a sense of personal power:
-Power in the freedom of saying whatever they what.
-Power in being able to affect others emotionally.
-Power that gives them a serotonin hit when they succeed in establishing their dominance.
Don't feed the trolls personal power. <shrug>

Human psychology is something I find quite primitive, dysfunctional and repugnant at times.
And the simple reason for it is the evolutionary process.

If you don't like being a human with all that nasty emotional/psychological crap, join me and abdicate away from the human rat-race to the Vulcan Confederacy.
Cosmetic surgery for your ears is free.

Yeah, perhaps I should try to learn the ways of the Vulcan....I mean I do get caught up a little too much in anger more than I would like.

I think this is relevant here
