Of course, you dumb shits, that’s what happens to oppressed people: they radicalise and look for an easy scapegoat. Do you, like, not know any history?

I am literally fucking shaking with rage right now. This is not fucking okay.
On the top is my original post. That was a post about autism. A post about MY EXPERIENCES AS AN AUTISTIC PERSON, posted IN THE TAG FOR AUTISTIC PEOPLE, meant ONLY FOR AUTISTIC PEOPLE.
Who was
the ableist piece of garbage
Who edited out the title?
Allistics, this post was not for you. Grow the fuck up and get over yourselves. This wasn’t some quirky “haha I listen to songs so many times and everyone gets mad at me I’m so weird :)” post. Autistic people rely on things being the same, rely on similarity and familliarity, every single day of our lives. We listen to the same songs over and over again because of the way our brains work and it is not something you as allistics will ever understand.
This post was not for you.
THIS POST WAS NOT FOR YOU
Y’all will fucking downright abuse and dehumanize us for doing shit like this. Don’t you fucking dare silence us and edit our goddamn posts so you can tag along to posts about our experiences. I’m so fucking mad right now. Fuck whoever deleted the title. This post has gotten two thousand notes today after the title was removed. Fuck every single allistic that reblogged this.

signal boost, y’all. reblog from the source, allistics don’t reblog at all.

If this is your idea of ableism
Then do you know what?
I fucking ENVY the kind of life you have lead.
Do you know what ableism was for me? Being told I could take my exams over two years early, then having the new people at school insist that as an autistic person I was not smart or bright but actually meant for nothing in life, that it would be a miracle if I learned to stack shelves: they took away my english literature exam papers and textbooks and colouring in to do. Or maybe it was being constantly tormented as “the retard” and “the special needs kid” and constantly being spoken to like a toddler and having people think they understand everything there was to know about me because of that stupid The Dog and the Pitchfork and the Bedtime or whatever that stupid fucking book was.
Not someone thinking that something as insanely relatable as “oh i played the same song 400 times over and over again and it annoyed everyone” was exclusive to autistic people and a ironclad symptom of only autistic people.
Nice way to other us and make us seem like insanely strange freaks.
Allistics reblog away and let this child pout as much as he or she wants to. If they actually are autistic, as thinking something everyone does is somehow special and super unique symptoms of autism is textbook self diagnosis behaviour anyway. You know like the tucutes who say every anime character ever is trans.
Will you please stop? This is not a fucking pissing contest. What Kieren has suffered is just another aspect of how allistic people fuck us over: belittling our symptoms and stigmatising them when we exhibit them, but not when they do. That’s the thing about oppression: it manifests in more than one way. This is akin to white people wearing a bindi and henna tattoos and Indian clothing with little to no negative repercussions, while actual people from the Indian subcontinent are heavily stigmatised for it. No, it might not be as bad as taking away our opportunities for education or employment or physically assaulting us, but it’s still a repeated slap in the face that contributes to making us fair game in general.
Anonymous asked:
i see where youre coming from but in the future maybe dont compare being vegan to being an oppressed group?? its actually really fucked up to say that? as far as i know vegans arent killed or underpaid based on that quality so theres really no comparison there that you couldnt show by using a less offensive example
Are you referring to my post comparing joining Tumblr to becoming vegan? If that’s the case, you misinterpreted me completely--I was comparing awareness the widespread acceptance of eating animals and consuming their products to awareness of oppression of people. In this analogy, it’s not the vegans, but the animals, who are comparable to oppressed groups.
Although you have a point--humans of any ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation don’t go through half of the things farm animals go through routinely.
Attention All SJWs and Anti-SJWs
Anti-SJWs: Look, we get it. You’re often in harm’s way when oppressed individuals target you, sometimes it costs you your lives, or your reputation if rape allegations are discussed. But you insist on missing the big picture here: the balance of power is in your favour. What you’re essentially saying is that a 13-year-older has every right to hit and insult their 6-year-old sibling. Yes, the younger sibling might have some way of seriously harming their older sibling, but in general, the older one has much more power and poses a much bigger threat to the younger one. Adopt a sense of context, please.
SJWs: Look, we get it. You’re bullied and pushed around and you’re seriously threatened in general and no-one seems to care much. But what you do is often not really retaliating. You often say that white people talking about reverse racism or men saying ‘Not All Men’ is akin to a bully suffering retaliation and saying, ‘That’s reverse bullying!’ That analogy is deeply flawed: you’re often attacking both the bully and his little brother, who is often subject to their brother’s cruelty too, even if it’s not to the same degree and he sometimes defends them. How about saying ‘too many men’ instead of ‘men’ in general?
Thank you for your time.

the food and education made me sad.
I have always been fascinated by these ‘world of 100 people’ things, I remember spending hours thinking through the ones on a poster at church when I was 9 or so. It really, really makes some really important stuff so blindingly clear, in numbers we can understand. And it should, I hope it does, inspire us to act.
Amazing post.
i hope im one of the 7 people with a computer
Keep in mind that many of those unable to practice their religion freely belong to oppressive religions that oppress women, GSM, members of other religions, members of other ethnicities (Orthodox Judaism being a prime example), members of other castes (many varieties of Hinduism being a prime example), &c.
