I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. Everyone in the comments is dunking on the person for being weird. Or talking about what even is the point of Instagram (a point I agree with but I’m kind of old).

They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don’t enjoy.
Don’t you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy’s personal taste?
MyFitnessPal had a problem with anorexic using the app to compare their disordered eating in competition. From there it went downhill fast.
(Unsweetened) coffee gang represent!
Hopefully, one with quiet relief.
Mom wouldn’t want you miserable every year because of her.
Here’s hoping we see a response.
This is such a universal feeling.
There was this mean thing people would say back in like the 90s, that the people complaining online win every argument because everyone who had success was busy being in a relationship.
This is absolutely hilarious and I can see it being a case of “well, we lost Joseph, so just put an extra Mary in there.”
Autism can present in many ways and many “levels.” Are you talking about making all of your gnomes a specific, similar presentstion (ASD 1?) Or are you talking about specific stereotypes of autism? Are you talking about giving them all your very specific brand of behaviors associated with an autism diagnosis?
Because this is all important. If you’re making them all have racial traits that are like you, then I say, have at, but maybe don’t call it autism specifically, because you’re representing a specific type and others might feel unrepresented. Or if you’re making them all have behaviors we associate with a specific type of ASD, then make sure there’s room in there for them to present in their unique ways.
Example: All gnomes have ASD traits. Make a roll on a chart for all known associated behaviors, randomly assigning those traits. Maybe this gnome is bad at eye contact, but maybe that one is bad at eye contact and also hypersensitive to sound. Maybe this one is extremely interested in obscure music, or that one is really great at drawing.
There’s a lot to figure out but I think you can do it! If you want to. It’s cool to write things we’re familiar with but also to be true to our own experience. I have ADHD but my behaviors are very different from my ADHD boyfriend, and both our types are valid.
Loved me some Chip’s Challenge.
You just told them a “better example” than the one they made, because the example you told them was “better” was one you could disagree with, and that shit was transparent as hell.
You talk about wanting free debate but you used an actual strawman.
Thank you.
I think that is exactly why that problem persists. Among a certain subset of the population, there is no need to look further. Why assume that there’s a deeper message there?
Which is why it’s always so frustrating when you see someone arguing that you should only be able to vote if you serve. (Yes, this really happened to me.)
Whoever down voted this has no sense of humor.
Ah. The Starship Troopers problem.
It has been so, so long since I last saw the Time Cube. Thank you.
Where can I play this game?
Yeah, I can’t. I know I get resentful after a while and “resentful” isn’t sexy (outside of a very specific kink that I don’t have) so it feels like a self-fulfilling cycle.
I just gotta move on.
As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin “fixin” are trying to sound important.
I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it’s seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem “important” is banana sandwiches to me.
