Comment on engagement
yakko@feddit.uk 2 days agoYou know what would have been really unexpected, is if I went on Lemmy and said “explaining jokes is boring and lame” and multiple people didn’t run up and write paragraphs at me.
And look, I’m not saying we’re all autistic here, but we have a brand. I know it wasn’t going to be a great chat, but maybe don’t ask strangers to patronise and respect you.

Hot take: allism is a social disability and right here we have a perfect example of an allistic person complaining that they don’t want a joke to be explained because their allism doesn’t like clear communication. Allistic people feel an innate need to obfuscate communication because their brains need the exercise of deciphering hidden codes in everything.

The example would be more perfect if I was allistic, but it’s very tidy otherwise.

Oh, so your joke about us all being autistic was just internalised prejudice, got it

That or actually processing my emotions with humour rather than externalising that anger by playing the victim, either orther.
