Autistic. - Contains Swearing etc.

[Cozmo]

Right. I'm really pissed off right now; a friend of mine just used the term Autistic to insult someone. I had to force them to apologize. I've noticed it a few times recently. What the fuck? That's a serious disability, what kind of inconsiderate cunt started using that offensively? Maybe I'm just noticing more because my little brother is autistic, but still, they can't stand up for themselves. It's fucking unfair, the term retard I learned to cope with, hearing it so much from everyone, but I don't want Autistic to be used like that.

Just unbelievable. I'd like to see them suffer with Autism. It would by funny then.

[Tonnochi]

Understand where you're coming from. They could be doing it intentionally just to get a rise out of you. This one guy kept saying to me "What's the matter, is your mom in a wheelchair OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." I didn't force him to apologize, I just gave him the face and told him he was a moron

[{17}~Rob~]

Actually it is moronic! No need what so ever and it shows huge insecurity on there part. Your a legend for sticking up 4 ur brother like that, and I really do look up to you, and you FGS.

Disability is not funny, If it was me i would retaliate, but I guess thats just the way I am, Your best doing it your way. Hope all goes well with that guys.

[Conceited]

I see what you mean, it's like using the term 'downs clown'. It's only funny 50% of the time.

I hate myself for laughing at that

What part of manchester u from anyway?

[Kaiden]

Yeah, it's not really funny, and I can't say Iv'e heard anyone using that insult.

[Siva]

Guess my school's plain then. All we use is the traditionals.

[Kaiden]

"GAY" and "QUEER" and "RETARD" then?

[~[R2K]D-BLOCK~]

That stuff shouldn't be said. I would have retaliated to. I take a lot of things seriously when it comes to family.

[Survive.]

I think that is very wrong!

[Mastakilla]

Why care? It's just words... I know it's a serious disability, but that just makes it a better insult.

[Kaiden]

WTF? Go die.

[~M3GG4~]

Masta, mabye some people ain't as tough as you, some people hurt when they hear this like this , specially about someone they care about

[Gishank]

Its stupid. Utterly stupid and moronic. And its even more offensive if you have Autisim. >_>

[Mastakilla]

WTF? Go die.

I'm sorry about that comment I do think swearing doesn't hurt though

[Alex]

WTF? Go die.

I'm sorry about that comment I do think swearing doesn't hurt though

Sometimes it does hurt, but in general it doesn't hurt me either.
I usually just think "Hah, is he really that much of a child to swear?".
A small thing though: In the Netherlands 'cancer' is a bad word, as in, used a lot for swearing. I though, CANNOT use it. I simply can't.

[Siva]

"GAY" and "QUEER" and "RETARD" then?

More like, Dickhead.

Mostly Dickhead. Sometimes gay.

[Survive.]

The poor guys autistic, leave him be.

...

Do you feel any abusive at all?

[Kaiden]

I dunno what he was talking about, I was thinking about giving him a 2 week warning, but then I re-concidered, as I'm not sure what he is actually talking about.

I'm sorry about that comment I do think swearing doesn't hurt though

No, I don't really get offended by it, especially over a Deus Ex community forum. That comment was just in-appropiate. =(

Also Spider posted that in a different topic, taliking about that "Quandulus" person..thing.

[Survive.]

I know, I was just quoting it from another topic, showing how often people use it. He might of just the word stuck in to his head from here and felt like using it

[Cereal]

I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time I don't really think it's that big of an issue. I see people here all the time use "retard" and "idiot" and "gay", I've even seen "nigger" a time or two, yet nobody ever says anything. What's the difference? Honest question. Are you offended simply because you're close to a person with Autism? My best friend's gay, and I call him a fag myself.

[Survive.]

Yes but this issue has been braught up. No other issues have in topics like this.

If there was a topic about anything else you stated, I would be saying the same thing I am saying now. I use swearing outside sometimes yes, but some people use it far to often, and mean it, not using it as a joke etc.

[Kaiden]

I think there is quite a large difference between using the word gay as an insult and "IDIOT, YOU ARE AUTISTIC!" etc. As being gay is a lifestyle some people choose, autism is a disability. People joke about gay people, although I feel that is wrong as-well, I don't feel it is as serious as using a life altering disability that that the sufferer has no choice but to live with as an insult, sorry.

[Survive.]

Using a disability as an insult is the worse thing anyone can really do out of all the swearing and abusive words etc...

[{17}~Rob~]

Well, at least he isnt Welsh.

[Survive.]

Shut the fuck up.

You can warn me how ever much you want...

[Spiderbot01]

The poor guys autistic, leave him be.

...

Do you feel any abusive at all?

He is, thats why he uses such perfect grammar, my brother does it as well.

Wait, you think I was using it as abuse?

[Kaiden]

Rob banned for 7 days bey the look of it!

[Survive.]

Good, I think he should be banned for ever, sorry. But He is really starting to enoy me... I hope he learns...

[Mastakilla]

I love Rob
