alt-text for thumbnail in case it embeds: it is an image of a queer flag with an infinity symbol, on a drawn wooden background with the words “autistic people mistaken for AI” on it

Trolls, bots, NPC's, ai, it's all the exact same attack - "this isn't a real person so I don't have to deal with their argument." It's a thought terminating cliche so they don't have to deal with the cognitive dissonance.

By default I just assume that people with predictable and exhausting cliches are just indoctrinated that thoroughly, and are still people.

The most blatant example of that is how many my-hero glazers, going back at least a decade, will say almost word for word "but humans must become an interplanetary species" to run interference for whatever environmental devastation, resource plundering, or worker abusing skullduggery their savior of humanity was up to today.

if i'm being completely honest i tell this to myself when i read something reactionary or hateful ... it helps to believe that they're a Koch bot or that they're being paid by rich assholes. maybe that's not something i should do?

People are quite capable of bigotry, hate, and ignorance.

It arguably makes us more vulnerable to bad people if we assume bad people simply don't exist.

Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
