I’ll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual’s consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don’t know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

    I’ve seen stuff that isn’t strictly like genetic/developmental included in the neurodivergence umbrella before, but either way that just seems like a relatively standard semantic disagreement, you kinda phrased it like some kind of deceptive act.

    • Are we talking colloquial or scientific classification? If it’s the first, it is just semantics. I’m not clear on your reading it as me portraying it as a deceptive act. I should be clear, it is not and I do not endorse such ideas.

        Phrasing it as “passing it off as” and bringing it up in a thread of hot takes in general gave off that impression to me, it felt like a relatively minor detail, but I didn’t mean it as a direct accusation, just mainly trying to get a sense of what you meant by mentioning it.

        • Oh, okay! Yeah, I did actually mean that specifically in regards to DroneRights, the individual. I only responded inside my inbox and kinda forgot the context of the thread. DroneRights is a jackass who wants to accuse anyone who doesn’t agree with its antisocial behaviors as bigoted. There’s plenty of people who have APD who don’t behave this way and work on genuine personal growth.
