I hope these motherfuckers get tetanus and fucking die. Something self inflicted, I'm not calling for violence, but ultimately ending with them ceasing to live. I'd accept heart attack, stroke, natural causes, whatever, but it would be a little sweeter if it were something a vaccine could prevent. Or COVID, I'd like to see them succumb to that. The possibilities....

You're making bad arguments to defend what I think is a bad opinion. You can ignore me if you want, but I'm not going to just let dumb, no effort comments to me just go unchecked because you want "chill".

I'm not trying to censor anything. People can post whatever they want, which means I also get to call out when I feel someone is using language in bad taste that I disagree with. You and OP can definitely ignore me and move on, but maybe others agree with me and want to see comments like mine. Also, I wasn't the first person to say something, I supported another comment with a similar sentiment first.

The word autistic has a definition and using it to define a type of inanimate objects is the incorrect use of it. Whether it's being as a slur or not I'll concede is a bit up for debate, but willfully taking a word that identifies a demographic based on how their brains work and using it to categorize games feels dirty and a bit slurry. Going back, the word retard wasn't a slur until it was used incorrectly enough times that it became one. This particular case is not bad compared to other uses of the word autistic that I've seen so casually thrown about often synonymous with being dumb.

War?

I don't use the word retard in either it's literal definition or as a slur, because there are better words in both cases. My response was that retard is not defined bad, and one can type out the entire word. It's not like The N word that has one meaning, and it's a slur where censoring the word word itself is often prudent. I'm not suggesting people should just throw the word retard around , just that it's typeable and different than other censored words.

All autistic people like these games? All autistic people are the same? So these games are autistic?

What exactly is it saying then? What does it mean to say that a game is autistic and how is that not targeted towards people with autism?

It is a slur now, and you know why it became a slur? Because people started using it to refer to people with deveopmental disorders as an insult, to liken them to such.

How this any different than your use of the word autistic in this context?

"Autistic" has been used as a slur for a couple of years now, and your comic is no different. It's used against people with different minds and medical conditions. What makes a game autistic? Because it's different than other games? Because they require more thought and work? Because they're busier games? Using the word autistic to describe them is insensitive to those with the condition and misrepresentation of what the word means. Maybe you could use a word that already meets the definition of what you're saying rather than attacking an entire demographic?

Retard isn't itself a slur just like autism isn't. The context in which they're used makes them a slur, and in OPs context, autistic is used as a slur.

Just get the picture. Nobody cares what you driver's license picture looks like.

I got carpet burn on my lip the day before mine years ago when I slipped grabbing a tow rope. I've had a couple of pictures since then. Now it's just a fun memory.

Nah, children fucking suck. All of them. I was born and raised in the middle of the US and since I was young I knew I never wanted children. I wouldn't be a good parent so it would be unfair to bring a human into this shitty world and then have them rely on me to raise them. It's irresponsible and quite frankly unethical to have kids just because procreation is necessary for the human species to to grow. There are plenty of people that want them that the rest of us aren't required for sustainability.

The world could use a couple of billion less people anyway.
