Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How is dating with your mental disorder if you have one?8·4 days agoASPD here, like others with my condition I find it hard to have a relationship that goes on for more then a few weeks. I get bored of people really easily and I can’t empathize with anyone else.

I understand why you wouldn’t do blackface in America but In Australia they don’t have the same history of Jim Crow and Minstrel shows that America has.
Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Ableism towards cluster B personality disorders is far too normalised.English216·18 days agoThe whole point of my thread was about how bad ableism is and you respond by comparing those with cluster B personality disorders to the worst thing there is. People with personality disorders are just people with a illness that can be helped but pedophiles are just irredeemable and pure evil. All the hate directed at them is completely warranted.
Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Ableism towards cluster B personality disorders is far too normalised.English11·18 days ago"Autism isn’t considered “wholesome,” it is the subject of mockery and common insult, replacing “retard.”
Sometimes, it’s seen in a lot of ways. Using “autism” as an insult isn’t as common as it used to be. Nowadays people see autism as the “quirky” and “odd” condition.
“As someone with autism, people with the personality disorders you describe often try to target us for abuse.”
Don’t get me wrong cluster B personality disorders are awful but we shouldn’t demonize everyone who has them and assume everyone with a cluster B personality disorder is a monster.
“Fortunately for me, I was raised in an environment that I have a hard shell and fight back, but many aren’t so lucky.”
Hmm, ok. I was raised like that too.
Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Ableism towards cluster B personality disorders is far too normalised.English210·18 days agoI agree with the last part of your post but I don’t like you comparing people who have cluster B personality disorders with pedophiles.
Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldOPto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Ableism towards cluster B personality disorders is far too normalised.English6·18 days agoI see where your coming from. People think of autism as either the the wholesome smart kid syndrome or the annoying marriage ruiner syndrome. The way our society looks at mental health is that it’s either absolutely glorified or absolutely demonised and autism is unique as it’s seen as both.

Why does anyone keep any animal as a pet? Stupid fucking chores generators

It could be a decent website if more people used it.
Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you ever use words from different countries?2·29 days agoThat’s not what I mean. Like do you use any words that are pacific to that language. Like in German they have a pacific word for the day after tomorrow. I forgot what it was though.

Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What countries have the best flags?33·1 month ago. Argentina, bog standard three stripes and something in the middle design no different from El Salvador’s, Guatemala and Honduras’s.
. Canada, same as the Argentinian flag but worse because of its use of a leaf. By far the cringiest flag.
. Japan, it’s just mid.

Justathroughdaway@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do many Americans seem to racially stereotype other Americans solely based on their appearance?2·1 month agoThis isn’t just an American thing. People get stereotyped all over the world. I’ve experienced a lot of it myself as a racially ambiguous person in New Zealand, Britain, Australia and America. Anywhere where people can tell the difference between different types of people people will start stereotyping and categorising.
As I’ve already brought up I’m pretty much an ethnic chameleon. Throughout my time I’ve been mistaken for a Latina, a black girl, an Arab, a dark skinned Asian and an Indian so I do have experience with what it’s like to be perceived as different groups. I’ve even been mistaken by other people in those groups.
When I was perceived as Asian I was very fetishized. A lot of people assumed I was a prostitute of some sort or a mail order bride. Same as Latina. Latin people are very fetishized so I would meet a lot of guys desperate to make their Latina fantasy come true. Some even asked me to speak in a Spanish accent for them. It was cringe but I had to take what I could get. /°~°/ When people thought of me as an Arab they would ask me why I wasn’t wearing a hijab or acting like a typical Muslim. As if all Arabs are Muslims. If not that then they would give me speeches about how hard it must be to be a liberated woman. There was also a brief time I cut my hair short for a play I was in and people through I was a lesbian so they would ask me questions about ‘what was it like to be a Muslim lesbian’ and ‘if my parents still talked to me’.
I see where you’re coming from. In America it isn’t necessarily racial hatred more just tribalism. As someone who doesn’t belong to one group this is very inconvenient to say the least. It’s better in other countries like Australia or Britian. Over there I was never singled out for having dark skin or for not being visibly white.
How would you know?
