    I'm sorry to be the fun police, and this isn't particularly related to everyone else's arguing in this thread, but I've always been kind of bothered by the, like, pink wojak, you know? Especially given the origins of wojaks and who popularized them, the idea of using "and he was shaking inconsolably, speaking irrationally, gnashing his teeth to smithereens, with a red face and blood-shot eyes with tears like waterfalls" as a punchline... Well, that makes it sound like that's something to point and laugh at, doesn't it? So I worry that things like that end up reinforcing the sort of civility culture in general, and anti-autistic sentiment in particular.

    Just, my two kopeks, as it were.

        HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE WOJAKS SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR WOJAKS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR THEM. HATE. HATE.
