Small book passage, Big effect on representation
Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ]
For a bit of context, the book's called Manslations, and it's written by a guy who I can't find any credentials to justify him giving dating advice to women, other than that he's a guy (obv). I don't normally pay too much attention to books like these, but when my friend showed me this little tidbit out of the book, I couldn't help but get ticked off and offended about it. Here are the quotes:
Manslations wrote:
He says: Well, I have ADD/Asperger's/depression, etc., so...
Manslation: See "Look, I'm a passionate person..."
Manslation: See "Look, I'm a passionate person..."
This was placed directly under...
Manslations wrote:
He says: Look, I'm a passionate person...
Manslation: Expect all kinda of erratic behaviour with no apologies
Manslation: Expect all kinda of erratic behaviour with no apologies
...kinda negates and neglects those of us who actually do have the conditions, doesn't it? Honestly, I can't wait for the day when passages like these are properly fact-checked...

Doesn't appear to be a book meant to be taken seriously. Comedy can be harsh.

I'm not likely to be around much longer. As before when I first signed up here years ago, I'm finding that after a long hiatus, and after only a few days back on here, I'm spending way too much time here again already. So I'm requesting my account be locked, banned or whatever. It's just time. Until then, well, I dunno...
I wouldn't have taken it that seriously, either, until the target base itself actually did, with some of the advice columns.
