Warning: extremely toxic thread

I thought there was an antiwork community here? Anyways I'm not sure where to put this. Just kinda sucks that the interview didn't go well and that people are shitting on this person and misgendering her for not being a white male factory worker or something.

/r/antiwork is kind of in shambles rn because the mods are trying keep the discourse from spinning out of control but a ton of people there are being transphobic and turning on the mods, and of course the mods are being accused of being authoritarian for trying to run the sub.

I hope the sub can bounce back, but it's a dark day in there for sure.

      no dude, not every criticism of someone turns on their neurotypicality. the mod had a poor showing -- hence OP's language. i don't see how it (the language) turned on the mod being autistic or not (are autistic people of such a delicate and protected class that they can't be criticized on the merits? i shouldn't think so; that would be "ableist".)

      Do you think it's a bit counterproductive to gatekeep autism and act like NDs are completely helpless when it comes to changing their behavior? A lot of what they did seems to just be a bad decision. This seems to teeter on learned helplessness and actually be ableist in and of itself

        seriously...

        Going up against the behemoth that is US capital is hard enough, let alone when you get people infighting and harping on 'mealy mouthed loser'. Who the fuck cares.

        This mod did a terrible job. I judge them based on how they handled the interview---and they were extremely ill-prepared.

      you can be both. i personally know people with asd who can handle themselves well in front of a camera, i’m sure we all do. you can have autism and be a loser, or you can have autism and not be a loser.

      stop making excuses for someone. they fucked up. they are a loser. identity or disability notwithstanding.
