people on my dash romanticizing wilbur infodumping and having autistic tendenciesā¦these are the same people who bash karl forĀ ātalking over peopleā orĀ āspeaking out of turnā or not understanding social cuesā¦
^^^ This is so true! People find it sweet and cute when Wilbur or Dream infodump or get extremely hype about something and then will bash Karl for these same traits like... I understand if Karl isnāt your cup of tea but please realize how rude it is to bash and hate on Karl for the things he does naturally while romanticizing/infantilizing other content creators who behave in a similar fashion.
Personally I adore Karl, and I relate a lot to him- I too accidentally talk over people and end up infodumping or rambling because I get excited. I can be too loud and not socially aware and too clingy just by nature and my entire life Iāve felt like shit because of this, because others routinely put me down and act as if Iām purposefully trying to bother them or be disruptive.
So seeing Karl Jacobs exhibiting similar traits so unapologetically makes me feel more comfortable in myself and seeing the positive reactions he gets from others helps make me feel less strange and alone in my behaviors.
Seeing people just tear him down and stuff for these mannerisms which he obviously cannot really help (he isnāt trying to talk over people, he isnāt purposefully doing these āannoyingā behaviors) is just repulsive. I thought we all agreed cringe culture was dead and bullying people for things outside their control was wrong.
I think a lot of it boils down to the fact that Karl Jacobs neurodivergent tendencies tend to come out in more energetic, noticeable ways alongside the fact he doesnāt attempt to hide or minimize these things. Whereas other content creators neurodivergent traits are a bit less in your face and the content creators try to mask these traits a bit more.
