“He’s not autistic...”
“He’s just a slow learner.”
“They’re not autistic...”
“Holy fuck, why can’t you just let nice things exist without projecting into them so hard. Maybe the devs were just looking for ways to build a game that reflects the mechanics they wanted. The weird introductions and lack of small talk is just because when the franchise started there wasn’t room on the cartridges for more dialogue. The infodumps from the NPCs are just meant to quickly introduce you to the game mechanics and world. Turn based battling is just the way the game was balanced. And the whole yes/no thing and the battle scripts is just [slur redacted], it doesn’t make them nonverbal.”
“And of course, just because the creator of something has autism doesn’t mean any of their characters do. Some people come up with normal shit, unlike you who has to make everything about you.”
“He’s not autistic...”
“Autism can be a huge struggle. I have a cousin with autism and headcanons about having autism shouldn’t be a source of entertainment.”
“They’re not autistic...”
“It just kills me whenever someone uses autistic + their fave character or smth. IT’S NOT A JOKE, IT’S NOT FUNNY, HAVE SOME FUCKING RESPECT. and for ppl who say ‘hey you’re putting that term in a negative way’ EXCUSE ME FOR WANTING TO KEEP IT AS HEALTHY”
“They’re not autistic...”
“She’s just anxious and over-protective, and as for him, he JUST DOESN’T HAVE FRIENDS. Unless the author states they have autism, don’t assume they have fucking autism. Your headcanons are NOT CANON. Seriously, calm the fuck down.”
“They’re not autistic....”
“Anyone who headcanons someone like that is very messed up.”
“He’s not autistic...”
“WTF, I’m pretty sure he’s just shy.”
“They’re not autistic...”
“What is it with neuroatypical people feeling the need to diagnose characters with disorders that they hardly have symptoms at all of? Why do I keep seeing and hearing about autism headcanons for characters who definitely aren’t autistic? It’s kind of obnoxious.”
