you're fucken great and I love you
yeah i'm so sick of some of this fandom feeling so entitled to what everyone else is doing. guys you need to understand that not everything revolves around you and what you enjoy. Just because you're uncomfortable doesn't mean everyone has to stop dead and leave.
If you enter a conversation about something you're uncomfortable with, you have no right to shut them down. Go find somewhere else to have your own conversation instead of breaking up someone elses.
If you're talking to someone and they mention something that you're uncomfortable with, it is ON YOU to tell them POLITELY. People cannot read your mind, nor will they check every blog you own and every backlog of text you post before interacting with you, nor are they trying to make you uncomfortable. Stewing in your discomfort or being rude because of an honest mistake is on you, not them.
Tumblr, AO3, and public discord servers are just that, PUBLIC! Anyone can join the conversation, and everyone is allowed to have fun here. You cannot gatekeep or push people away because they do something you dislike or are uncomfortable with. In a public area it is on you to curate what you see and do. People are allowed to post tsams in the tsams tags, people are allowed to post character art in the character tags, people are allowed to make smut on the fanfic sites, people are allowed to have fun. If you want a perfectly fluffy place with only what you enjoy, you need to make your own private discord or your own hosting site. Hell, you can make your own special tag if you want, you have that option.

All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload
We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.
I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over
It physically hurts my brain.

WHY THE FUCK DID I EAT SO MUCH!!!!

Do any other fictionkins have the problem of not being able/allowed/skilled enough to do or have a comfort that your kintype likes/needs/has and been irritated/saddened/maybe even panicked about it?
Anxieties! Attack!
Was watching a documentary type thing with my parents today and one of the scenes showed an athlete visiting some school thing specifically for autistic children.
The entire time, they were shedding light on how hard it was for the parents living with an autistic child, how exhausting and how shameful it is.
Not ONCE did they acknowledge what it must be like for the child to live with autism. They were offering all this support to the people around them and none for the child whatsoever.
Fuck “autism mums”. Fuck parents who make their child’s diagnoses and issues all about them.
“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.
