I Really Hate How The Perception Of Tone Indicators Have Gotten So Negative In Recent Months. People

I really hate how the perception of tone indicators have gotten so negative in recent months. People either see them as stupid, as demeaning, or as “cringe”. And a lot of the who don’t think those things still had them ruined by dishonest allistics using them wrongly to purposefully mislead them (usually /nm or /lh).

Allistics started to make fun of tone indicators and use them for jokes a long while ago. Then autistic people who don’t need them started loudly saying they think they’re stupid and infantilize autistic people anyway, so they could be “in” with the allistics. Now, autistic people who do need them are too ashamed to use them.

Mean-spirited allistics and the “not like other autists” autistics have ruined yet another communication device for autistic people by making it the “cringe” butt of jokes. Add that one to the growing pile.

Can we please stop putting down autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people whose traits are considered 'cringe', 'dorky', 'weird' or something else considered to be socially unacceptable?

We get enough shit from neurotypical people—we don't need to throw each other under the bus too.

"But they're making us look bad!"

I. Don't. Care. It's wrong to put each other on hierarchies. Simple.

There’s nothing inherently “scary” about someone talking to themself in public.

There’s nothing “scary” about someone rocking back and forth in public.

There’s nothing “scary” about someone pacing back and forth in public.

Some of y’all are just ableist.

Hear me out, I headcannon that Varian and Yong watches Bill Nye The Science Guy while drinking hot chocolate. Hugo makes fun of Varian for it but he doesn't give two shits about Hugo's opinion. Varian and Yong would also watch Gravity Falls and Buzzfeed Unsolved.

No, you misunderstood. When I said I can’t feel romantic or sexual attraction I wasn’t complaining, I was bragging.

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.

Fictionkin Dysphoria Tips! 💙 (These may not be applicable to everyone, so feel free to add your own tips more specific to spiritual/psychological experiences in the reblogs if you have any!)

Canon is nothing more than a shitty adaptation of your life. Things had to be changed to make it more interesting - or if it was played down, palatable - to audiences.

Your fictionselves are just that - fictionselves. The same way that in this universe I have a more academic version of myself and a more silly version of myself, you may have many between universes as well.

Don't have memories? Yeah, I don't have memories from when I was one year old. Doesn't mean I wasn't me yet, just means there is a barrier to me remembering.

Have memories that misalign with canon? Refer to point one, but also keep in mind that if canon really does feel super right to you, you could always be misremembering. Happens all the time.

Have "too many" memories? That's awesome! It's so cool you're able to retain all that.

Having merch of yourself isn't weird. You're a celebrity. You have tens to millions of fans. Bands wear their own merch all the time. Wear that shirt with your face on it, it's normal.

Likewise, having so many fans is bound to come with people making weird theories up about you, drawing you doing weird shit, and - as stated in point one - making up weird ass recountings of your life. Sadly, there's not much to be done about it, but just know that it comes with the territory.

Look nothing like your fictionself? Yeah, people's appearances change. I looked like my name was Mary and I went to church when I was four. Now I look like my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I throw puppies in garbage cans.

Act nothing like your fictionself? Congratulations on the character development.

Oh god I gotta get my lusus to clean my room. It's messy as fuck in here. Lint on the ground. Hope this helped!
