Twilight Zone - Eye of the Beholder, 1960

Set by Kumanderdante

Now the questions that come to mind: "Where is this place and when is it?" "What kind of world where ugliness is the norm and beauty the deviation from that norm?" You want an answer? The answer is it doesn't make any difference, because the old saying happens to be true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in this year or a hundred years hence. On this planet or wherever there is human life – perhaps out amongst the stars – beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Lesson to be learned in the Twilight Zone.

Cast out, why not become an outcast.

anyone else who is inbetween level 1 and 2 autism (who may have been called asperger’s due to ‘high intelligence’ and creativity in the past) ever felt like the world was in on a plot/joke that you weren’t? that big NT™ were all part of some elaborate plan to make you feel like shit for no reason? i’m talking severe constant bullying, into adulthood even… constant ostracism, and unnecessarily awkward moments for just expressing a joke or trying to join in.

also why is this? why do people try and humble us and condition some of us into being an introvert? i was extroverted in my younger days. mid 20s, and it’s made me hate the world.

fitting in nowhere sucks.

if anyone can explain to me the dynamics of this i’d greatly appreciate it.

It... breaks my heart all the time that people play story-centric games and visual novels like Obey Me!, Twisted Wonderland, and Dream of Mirror (Aeria Games era) for the sole purpose of... just racking up numbers.

There's a novelty and novel element here. It's a STORY. With characters that feel like real people because they are often directly or indirectly BASED on real people.

I love Floyd, he reminds me of someone I loved dearly back when I was living in Miami... that person likely passed away, so seeing Floyd Leech... just being Floyd Leech... it's something indescribably special. I need Floyd sometimes just to feel okay about myself, about my life, and about my heritage and damnable status as a mixed-raced indigenous person.

Twisted Wonderland is precisely for people like me. And further, in Genshin Impact, the Cryo and Anemo Archons give Visions to misfits and outcasts of mixed and stigmatized heritage JUST LIKE ME.

My home as it was, and as it was always intended with fields of maíz and sugarcane on a private estate with nary an unpaid employee to see... it exists, but it isn't for me.

Because I'm just Nobody, and I'm just passing through.

i hate when people discuss sign/traits/symptoms of autism they often you the word "inappropriate" to describe the behaviors of the autistic person

maybe it's just me but the use of the word inappropriate just gives off a gross connotation to the autistic person's behavior?

like why is the behavior inappropriate? what makes it inappropriate? because it's not like what allistic people do?

so is it actually inappropriate then? or is it irregular? abstract? different? even "abnormal" sound better than inappropriate to me

to me calling the behavior of autistic people inappropriate is dehumanizing because to me it implies the idea that autistic people don't know how to behave at all. like as if they can't understand what it means to do xyz.

but autistic people do know how to behave. they behave in a way that makes sense and is comfortable to them. it may not be what society scripted as they way to do something but i think to call it inappropriate is just wrong
