Tfw there isn't a page long funeral for TheSyldat like there was for Kinsei who self requested a ban for a whole near week before returning to celebration.

Real talk for a second:

My wife is a behavioral therapist, she works with lots of kids who are on the spectrum

Does your therapist know you refer to her as your wife?

Now who’s stealing jokes?

I went back and liked your joke because Benji's was meaner

woah yikes, it was a perma, i had just seen they were banned again in the women sexualized thread but it was their own thread:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/looks-like-valve-keeps-on-wanting-the-visual-novel-money-while-being-hostile-to-them-featuring-queer-characters-see-the-gol-article-in-the-op.123352/

User Banned (Permanent): Excusing content that depicts sexualised minors. History of severe infractions.

That being said, I do think that there is an argument to be made that this does not fall under Steam's enforceable guidelines so I would be genuinely surprised if it stays off the store. My larger point was just that I don't think the LGBT nature of the content is what got it removed, but rather the potential sexualization of minors.

The thing that you are missing is that VN / Dating Sims are played a whole lot by teenagers a lot of whom are queer , and when it comes to depiciting underage girls with "big anime tiddies" for striaght dudes just about anything files on steam and every god dam three days a fuck load of them are landing on steam just fine .

But the minutes it features teenager + queer cast (especially when it's girl on girl / feature a trans woman teenager in the story ) lately those titles have been facing an incresingly baffling cycle of rejections regardless of who the developper was .

So basically pedo shit for striaght dudes ? fine
Straight teenagers Story even with nudity ? fine gets droped on the store no questions asked
Queer teens ? What the fuck heeeelll noooo !

That's the feeling we are getting with Valve's recent behavior.

TL:DR : Valve could we avoid yet another generation of queer teens self loathing like crazy waaay into their early adulthood because any romance between queer teen is denied publication ?

When a TV show kills off the best character. 
This is REE  jumping the shark.

[benjipwns]

reading his tweets is just like reading his posts

he made like fifty tweets on May 1st about intersexphobes, the corruption of France's May Day, the perils of gaming on Linux when WINBROS exist, the evils of Epic Game Store, etc.

Real talk for a second:

My wife is a behavioral therapist, she works with lots of kids who are on the spectrum, and sometimes they will say racist things not because they are racist (they're kids) but because they have an inability to understand what they are saying is something racially sensitive.

So, ya... autism could lead to someone doing or saying something that is offensive without that person being whatever -ist they've been labeled as. I mean, just look at Benji.

Came here to say exactly this. My wife has worked with autistic children her entire career. Sometimes they'll mimic social stuff to try to fit in, not understanding context or what it means. Not sure if that's what we're seeing here, but it's entirely possible and happens, I've seen it.

Every dumb motherfucker in there *cough*Finale Fireworker*cough* who just dismisses it outright is fucking stupid.

[BisMarckie]

Thanks for getting banned asshole, now we‘ll never get theSyldat.

[BisMarckie]

I think FinaleFireworker should show more sympathy, considering he blocked the exit of a supply room to trap a female coworker in there with him.

Autists can't comprehend metaphor. If you said to someone who has autism that America is a melting pot, they would think you believe America is literally a melting pot.

I remember a NeoGAF.com mod warned me I should go easy on making barely facetious mock threads about stuff like TempleOS or TimeCube or like this: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/toward-a-feminist-postcolonial-milk-studies.1021396/

Because of that whole besada watch list thing. Thankfully, ResetERA.com has Finale Fireworker to prevent such threads from receiving posts ill-productively.

what use even is Pogi now?

[cosmicblizzard]

Autism can sometimes be associated with oppositional defiant disorder.  If you're taught from a young age to not do this or not do that (or just notice it among peers as something considered "unacceptable behavior"), you can absolutely do those things for no other reason than to be a contrarian and it can go way beyond simple reverse psychology that a lot of people experience at one point or another.  That can include things like racism. 

You can also just be an autistic racist where the latter was not at any point informed by the former even if it's a terrible combination for actually vocalizing it.  It's not a mutually exclusive concept.  I would hope people that claim to be progressive would still exercise patience in situations like that though.

[Lonewulfeus]

what was your actual post that led to this, or was this just a shadow ban for all the clowning on the era mods we do?

[benjipwns]

Well, he may still have autism. That's kind of the thing here. I'm not an absolute expert here so if I am wrong somebody please feel free to correct me.

Autism is a pretty common condition with a spectrum of severity. This is sometimes referred to as "being on the spectrum." You may also be familiar with lower-level Autism traits in the form of Asperger's Syndrome. While the condition varies in severity, many millions of people have it, and it's not the same as being mentally unwell. It's just a condition some people have, which depending on its severity may require additional sensitivity to accommodate, but it's a normal and manageable condition that isn't a mental health disorder.

People on the autism spectrum sometimes have difficulty with social cues, seek rigid routines, and may have some difficulty learning through conventional education. They may also have innate talents and gifts for things like music and math. The spectrum manifests in a great variety of different ways and (I believe) one in every sixty people is somewhere on the spectrum. There are likely members in this very thread who have it. You probably know several people with it.

But for all the ways autism manifests, being racist isn't one of them. Something a lot of people with autism find very frustrating is when their condition is conflated with hateful or damaging behavior. This is a pretty big consequence of chan culture using "autism" to describe behavior they find intense or stupid. People on the spectrum, even people who go from 0 to 100 as a matter of emotional habit (as the person in this story describes) are no more predisposed to hatred or bigotry than any other person. Attributing these things to autism is often hurtful to people on the spectrum who then have to contend with stereotypes that their condition makes them bigoted or intolerant.

A way to think of it, I think, is that autism can make you shift between extremes or react to things more intensely than others. So if you are racist, you may express that racism intense or extreme ways.


Of course, there is often a need to take greater care when approaching people who do exhibit more severe autism traits. They are differently-abled people. There are different tactics and methods for communication that should be utilized when possible. I think people reacting to the story, which seems pretty racially motivated, are doing just that: reacting. certainly nobody is harassing or dehumanizing somebody based on this article. Just that this story is frustrating and unfortunate, especially for black people who are targets of this kind of prejudice.

The only treatment for autism is educational and behavioral therapy. This person seems to really need it. I hope they get it and can stop acting this way towards other vulnerable minorities.

Autism can absolutely cause or contribute to unusual or unfortunate social behaviors many of which are recognizable to medical professionals and are sometimes predictable systems that can be categorized and understood and even treated or self regulated.

but those behaviors do not until apparently now manifest themselves as a grouping as elaborate and coordinated as:

1. Expending significant-hydical and intellectual effort to harass, follow, insult and abuse people.
2. make nonsense calls to emergency services and narrating demonstrably false narratives to law enforcement
3. Use google glass to troll people in public and private places that object to it
4. film yourself doing these things, upload the results to youtube, and use social media to amplify and asvertise those behaviors
5. create and amplify an abusive and deliberately contradictory social media persona
6. use social media and news outrage cycles to amplify and promote all of the above behaviors and actions
7. coordinate with your husband who just happens to share or support the behaviors in 1-6 for years

now i admit i am not a medical professional nor an expert on a highly complex matrix of conditions, behaviors and symptoms - but i do know that he's not a medical professional either and that you cant self-diagnoze your degree of sutism on a sliding scale that goes up to 10 but never includes zero (his stated claim).

so even if he really is experiencing some form of autism - number 7 is going to extremely difficult to explain or accept.

James, I just want to warn you, some of these women that are coming over in the refugee boats, I just need you to know, a lot of these women are 15, 16, and they're very vulnerable, and you're going to have to control yourself

Don't worry, I have experience mentoring many young women. They can come to be in full confidence. If they are anxious or scared, I keep a bottle of whiskey nearby to help calm their nerves. A shot or four usually helps.
