    I've never met one of these people in real life which leads me to believe one of two things: A) They know what they believe is actually too embarrassing to be stated while looking another person in the eyes B) All of the people that believe this shit are tendie eating dwellers.

          Is it?

          I know it’s associated with a certain type of person who often do have autism, but I think it’s harmful to assume everyone like that must have autism. Some people live like that just because they’re selfish and lazy, not out of any disability.

            That kind of defense can be used for literally any stereotype.

              There’s nothing about being a basement dwelling terminally online weirdo to autism. Sure some autistic are like that but many if not most aren’t, and most people that way aren’t autistic.

              Now if someone is making sounds or physical gestures meant to mock autistic while mocking those people, yeah we got a problem. But really the rest of it is just mocking Internet neckbeards. If we associate all that with autism it would mean mocking the likes of Vaush or Notch is mocking autistic people.

                That's exactly what a stereotype is...

                if someone is making sounds or physical gestures

                Because that's all autism is? Sounds and gestures?

                mocking the likes of Vaush or Notch is mocking autistic people.

                When has the tendies meme every been associated with someone like Vaush or Notch?

                How about when an autistic person tells you it's a harmful stereotype, listen to them instead of making excuses.

                  I’ve seen it used to mock Notch specifically, idk about Vaush

                  Alright fine if that’s how the autistic community feels I’ll take your word for it but it is news to me, and I am myself in the spectrum FYI

          I did not intentionally mean to insult autistic people. I genuinely just meant spoiled early 20 somethings that probably still live at home, have very little life experience, and still have mummy serve them food.

            Which is a stereotype of autism. I'm sure you weren't meaning to insult, but the meme is based on a stereotype.

              Does the post bother you and would you like me to delete it? We're a community. Even if it's just an online lynch mob.

                Nah it's fine, I just want to point it out in hopes people will use it less in the future.

          Yes but tendie makes it seem more pathetic so it gets the point across better
