An octopus that has movedOct 31, 2017

Great, local news did a documentary thing on bronies

Of course, painted them as a bunch of saddos watching a kid's tv series because they can't function in society

So far, not something I necessarily disagree with

But then they pivoted to "Oh, lots of them have autism and it's the only way they can socialise"

Host was all "aww, the autists making friends with ponies"

As someone with an ASD, FUCK THAT SHIT

1/2

I am not some sweet little endearing autist for the muggles to find inspiring

I am a person

I am fully capable of functioning

And if anyone forgets that I will rip out their fucking spine

(okay, maybe that was a bit stronger than a "mild rant")
