I have nothing against Autism or Autism Awareness, I never use Autism as an insult (It doesn't really even make sense as an insult). But how come whenever I see images like this my blood just boils? I have absolutely no idea why but it makes me so angry I could punch a kitten and I love kittens.
Does anyone else have this problem?
-
Yeah, it should be: Always Unimportant Tearfully Inept Stupidly Moronic
-
Because they took your picture without your consent?
-
It makes people out to be more than they are and i don't like that. People are people. Autists aren't 'special', they are exactly the same as every other person; they just need more help than the average. Same with all 'disabled' or 'mentally abnormal' people. If you want to claim that children with cancer or severe autism are little miracles because they painted a picture of a tractor with their fingers then you can do that, but ANY child who does that is equally as miraculous. That's not me being a Debbie Downer, if anything it should be me being the exact opposite.
-
It's because they are bringing attention to an issue nobody is prepared to fix and they are probably making money off of it too.
-
It's smarmy and condescending. You are not wrong to be angry at it.

Because you're a -blam!-ing idiot To be fair, so are the stoners and alcoholics who gave these poor kids the condition but you're just an asshole.

There are way too many morons posting in this thread.

Bright images can make people react differently

Maybe you've been going on /pol/ too much.

Edited by tntbabin: 1/3/2014 7:41:38 PMMaybe you were bitten by a radioactive bull and are becoming Bull Man. However as a result of your new bull powers, you've grown an irrational hatred of the color red and of all the colors on that child's hands, red is the most prominent and it infuriates you. It makes you want to charge at his hands like a mad man in an attempt to run them threw with your imaginary horns! Joking aside, I dunno, stuff like this kinda annoys me too, although not all that much. Maybe it's because people are taking a problem that some people have and are trying to invent non existent positives to such disabilities to perhaps make those affected feel better, as if they were children or something? I don't know.

I think it's -blam!-ing retarded but it doesn't make me mad.
-
Who cares about autism?
-
I'm not seeing what's so rage inducing.
-
Politically correct soccer moms refusing to admit that the hellspawn their shriveled wombs coughed out have a problem, and instead demanding that everyone else bends over backwards to accommodate their sensitive feelings. -blam!- autists and autist enablers.
-
It's overly PC people being overly PC.
-
Because you're a laissez-faire capitalist and you hate it when people receive help.
-
What exactly about it makes you mad? Little boys? Asymmetrical coloring? Promoting a debilitating mental illness as a positive thing?
-
No idea.
-
I get a little angry, too.
-
Stop being autistic
-
You're always unique Ian. Jk, when people mock stuff like kids with autism it pisses me off too.
-
Because nothing in the picture is representative of what it's trying to represent. It's like when they make plastic burgers and film them for fast food commercials. In short, it's fake and you're picking up on that. Cognitive dissonance.
-
Ian has autism.
