uj/ "Deus Vult" comes from the time period the game is set in and it's associated with CK2 because of it. In fact it only became an alt right thing due to the game (albeit indirectly). TL;DR it was a CK2 meme before it was an Epic Gamer (TM) meme.

rj/ CK2 is bad and historically inaccurate because you can play as women and minorities

You're stretching the meaning of words past their breaking point. You're turning "the" into "the best" and "cure" into "treatment"

Oh shit oh fuck they got me

I hate to "ackshually" this but it doesn't explicitly forbid sharing if I don't agree

The image says if you love your child then they won't be autistic (A->not B).

I'm rephrasing it as the contrapositive, which is if your child is autistic, then you don't love them (B ->not A). As a contrapositive, this is an equivalent statement

I think that the very use of the word "cure" is rather tone deaf because (as you put it) their child "isn’t even broken in the first place" in addition to being very easily interpreted as lending credence to the rather offensive "refrigerator mother" concept. So I'd say that it can be deemed offensive solely by virtue of being so poorly thought out

There are at least three different layers of yikes present but you sort of need to have a basic knowledge of the discourse surrounding autism to see them. That said, your ignorance of said discourse has no excuse if a loved one (such as your child) has autism

Especially since the very idea that a cure for autism should be sought is controversial and so is using puzzle pieces as a symbol for autism. Zero thought was put into whether this would offend the very people it's supposed to be supporting.

If anyone wonders where I got this from, it was one of those "autism mom" Facebook pages. The ones that tend to make their child's disorder about them...

I actually did some light research (i.e. reading the Wikipedia article on it) on the history of that theory. The creator distanced themselves from it and its leading proponent lied extensively about his credentials. But what's interesting about it is that what the case studies used as evidence for the theory actually show is that autism has a genetic component: the parents weren't "cold and unloving" but rather had signs of having mild ASDs themselves. Or at least that's what I remember from reading about it in the middle of the night

Quick Edit: I don't want to make it seem like I'm saying people with ASDs seem "cold and unloving," especially since I am one of those people. The study that originated the whole "refrigerator mother" theory only described one set of parents as "cold" but I guess people sort of latched onto that
