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.
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.
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.
It’s spelled tendie
its spelled tandoori
It's a harmful stereotype of autism.
Is it?

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

That's exactly what a stereotype is...
Because that's all autism is? Sounds and gestures?
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

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.
Sorry I rarely use the frozen chicken nugget insult
But you did get what was written, right?
Yes but tendie makes it seem more pathetic so it gets the point across better
