To my fellow #Neurodivergent people: Am I the only one not happy with the turn the Harris campaign has taken, to calling Trump and his cohorts "weird"? I'm not thinking about whether it insults him/them or not, for that I don't care. I'm thinking of all of us who were ostracized and bullied for being "weird". Or even people who were just called weird because they came from a different culture or whatever. Or #LGBTQ people.
Are we not seeing people that support inclusion and tolerance take on the tactics of our bullies, lowering themselves to their ways, validating them? Are we not seeing us being lumped together with the likes of these people? Am I overreacting? Should this behaviour be called out? I am seeing myself in the minority here so I need to know if I'm wrong about this and just being oversensitive.
For the record I support Harris and AOC but I didn't like this.
God I hate politics.

I see that with their obsession with their organisations claiming to represent everyone. E.G. Musk's new America PAC.

Does it represent America as a whole? Dear goodness no. Do they want to have it associated with terminology that implies it does, and that alternatives do not? Yes.

"Weird" acts directly counter to that narrative.

@dorgaldir @actuallyautistic "why am I failing to communicate to people?" glances at resource manager "gosh dang, /usr/local/bin/eye-contact is taking up 60% of my GPU bandwidth again".
