Am I the only one completely sick of others ignorance?

(I don't know if there is any cussing in the image but sorry for it if there is, I blurred out my name to avoid hate on my channel)

This happened to me on Youtube today, when trying to fight ignorance and the new "insult" of using autistic instead of "ret*d" started because of 4Chan. I hate the fact both of them are used but it really ticks me off when people think being autistic is the same as being stupid or not quite on par with our peers mentally.

What really makes me sick is the fact this person outright tries to TEACH me what I have. Disgusting people like this should not exist.

Tell that guy he's probably a sociopath, and he doesn't even realize it. Sociopaths often target people with other mental disorders(especially in prison), and call them "ret*d" as a generic all-purpose term for any given mental disorder.

You could report him to you tube.
Not real familiar with youtube, but they probably have some kind mechanism to file complaints about verbally abusive, bigoted, bullying, ass-bleeps, like him.

Should you go after him yourself?

If you mean :will that accomplish anything?
Probably not. A far gone jerk like that is not gonna stop being that because of one person pushing back.

If you mean: is he fair game for you to go after?
Yes and no.
Yes because if he expects you to not be "offended" by his name calling then -he has no right to be offended by -you just describing hiim as the ass-bleep he is to his face.

No: becasue you both might get banned from you tube if you mirror his cretinous behavior ( well- thats what this site might do to you both- dont really know about you tube).

Just go through the proper channels first- if youtube HAS proper channels.

the less attention the rest of humanity pays to idiots like this the better, for all of us.

OP, please do not bring your conflicts with people on other sites onto our forums.

From what I understood from this:


Was referring to talking bad about someone behind their backs, rather than talking to them. Where I am trying to figure out what to do about this individual and how to respond to their hate. Sorry if I was wrong.

i would have no idea i am sorry.

i do not care about other people's ignorance because i have nothing to do with them anyway.

i guess it could be said that i am ignorant of the damage caused by ignorance, and i contribute to that damage by remaining ignorant of it, but if i am truly ignorant (which i am), i will not feel any effect in a spiritual way about it, and i do not.

people that are not nice people live in very many places that i do not know. i have not met many bad people in my life. i am lucky i guess.

ignorance is bliss in a way. as long as you can support yourself, then reality becomes mundane but very restful and forgiving.

Ignorance is used as an excuse for aspiphobia too much

No worries. The rule exists to help keep conflict and any related retaliatory discussion on our forums to a minimum.

You're both wrong, it's a neurological difference.

Indifference ... mostly. It really takes some blatant ignorance to get me going.

Which is why I don't like going to church.

he's trolling you and succeeding.

Just stop feeding him. Arguing with a troll is like wrestling with a pig in mud. They will enjoy it but for you its all rather tiring and pointless.

Yes, the guy you were talking to was obviously a jerk who does not understand autism, but I disagree with your definition as well. Autism is not "an antisocial personality disorder." Antisocial personality disorder is a completely different psychological disorder characterized by "a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others." (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001919/)

Most people with autism are not antisocial. They desire to have relationships, but they are not able to. Many people with autism are actually very caring, but it is difficult to understand the other person's needs or feelings.

There is a huge reason why I didn't say Antisocial Personality Disorder and instead said "an antisocial personality disorder" there are more than one type of antisocial, asocial and atypical personality traits and behaviors. The "capital letter", singular, definition is in no way what I was talking about.
I do know all of the information you said before, however, it wasn't what I was talking about.

It isn't anti-social personality disorder either. o.o

Autistic retardation is only a paradox. In reality autistics are geniuses. Autistics may be slow learners in school when it comes to memorization of facts but autistics have a greater imagination. Socially autistics can be very savvy but are frequently misunderstood. Autistics are not very good as small talk but what is the purpose of small talk anyway?

I think more and more people are recognizing autistic genius even though we have have an outward appearance of being ret*ds.
