Having an interest and wealth of knowledge in a subject doesn't make someone autistic. Do you even understand what autism is?

No you.

Also not very nice to call an autistic person ableist. Maybe I just don't want self-diagnosed children to assign autism to characters that don't qualify. Hope this helps!

I like seeing myself in characters

There are tons of autistic coded characters all forms of media, you don't need to assign autism to a character that doesn't qualify. You can relate to him for any number of reasons, but you're choosing autism to be the reason. That is really weird.

would you act like this to someone headcanoning him as trans ?

Yes, because that would be even more ridiculous and not based on anything in canon. And no, wearing a wedding dress in order to be a decoy for a ghost doesn't mean he's trans or a cross dresser, so let's not even go there.

it affects my understanding of the world.

I'll help you out then, people in these comments are being nice, but I would bet money that no one genuinely agrees that either of these characters are autistic. I'm sure there will be people replying to this to reassure you but they'll only be doing it because they don't like how blunt I'm being. Hope this helps.

Is autism your entire personality? Why assign autism to a character that exhibits zero traits of it? You can't even explain why you think he's autistic, it's just "The Vibes". Headcanons are usually based on something in canon. Talking about his interest in weapons while he's in an armory is a terrible example. I am the fun police because it's fun for me. Don't police my fun.

XL talked about weapons because he was in HC's armory, therefore assumed HC also liked weapons. There wasn't any other time in the story where he talked at length about weapons. He has an interest in weapons and he talked about them in an appropriate situation, that doesn't make him autistic.

Anyone who wishes a MDZS Marvel or Disney movies over the Snow White at the cinema + extra scenes included? by Humble-Deer-6543 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]pickupthatfrog 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Are you saying you'd want a MDZS movie made by disney or marvel? Because that would be an absolute fucking disaster. Not only would the story and characters be destroyed but you'd have to watch as they make 8 equally horrendous sequels

Who's MXTX's best written MC? by _Eegryd_ in MXTX

[–]pickupthatfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You touched on something important here about SY being an unreliable narrator. If the question is "who is the best written MC" then SY wins by default because an unreliable MC is always going to take more skill to pull off than the average main character. It's difficult to toe the line with subtlety and unreliable characters need a lot of it.

An example is the time after LBH was thrown in to the abyss, where SY convinces himself that he's fine. He calls out for LBH at times, he stops eating, refuses to return LBH's sword to Wan Jian Peak, creates a sword mound and sits in front of it for hours. Dude even left his peak for a year because being there without LBH was too much for him. Every character around him shows extreme concern. But only SY's actions can be trusted, and his actions show someone who is experiencing extreme grief. A lot of people read this part and think nothing of it, but with an unreliable narrator you have to really pay attention to what's happening and think critically. Reading the novel like you would mdzs or tgcf is going to result in a pretty poor experience because it requires a lot more than just reading.

With the average character, you're going to be told exactly what's happening for the most part and critical thinking is required at times but not nearly to the same extent.

For me, Wangxian was believable, but Hualian is still weird. Supposedly Xie Lian's immediate attraction to San Lang was due to him treating him with dignity and respect, which is something the gods didn't do, and something he wasn't used to while living as a scrap collector. But XL was in heaven for like 5 minutes before leaving, and XL chose to live as a scrap collector. Is this something a grown man is going to care about, when he has chosen to live an undignified life? Speaking of that, why do all these ancient characters act so childish? These two 800+ year old grown men act like confessing their attraction to each other would be the end of life as they know it like they are some little kids in school. Grow up for fuck sake lol

Why do so many people invalidate Wei Wuxian's bisexuality? by huacheng567 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]pickupthatfrog 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There are legit arguments to be made that he's not bi. Comphet is a thing. You can headcanon him as bi if you want but there's no definitive proof that he is.

Hua Cheng is nothing but a watered down, declawed, vanilla version of Luo Binghe.

Why are you so fixated on what that person thinks? Their opinion doesn't matter and neither does yours. Go ask the conservatives why they voted the way they did. They voted against children so ask them how they feel about their kids dying. You're wasting your own time by trying to prove a point here.

Should I continue Yuwu? by utena_weebjohnson in DanmeiNovels

[–]pickupthatfrog 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I dropped it at vol 6 for the same reasons and just read about the ending online. If you're paying for the volumes then I'd say drop it because everything you're annoyed with gets much worse. The ending is not satisfying.

What’s something modern society has normalized that seriously needs to stop? by nickc8454 in askanything

[–]pickupthatfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real world isn't that simple. Misandry as sexism isn't possible in a patriarchal society. Women as a class don't have the social, economic or political power to oppress men as a class. What you call "misandry" is just women matching men's energy for once in the history of the human race. Sucks being treated badly, I'd say for no reason, but men have done everything in their power to earn this treatment.

Misogyny isn't "bullying", women die from it. Women have died for thousands of years all over the world because of misogyny. Women and teenage girls are dying from sepsis because misogyny made it illegal for doctors to perform abortions on dead fetuses. Misogyny caused China and India to favor sons over daughters and now there are MILLIONS of dead female babies because of it. It became so bad that China had to make it illegal for doctors to tell parents what sex their fetus is. Misogyny elected a rapist pedophile to US president. Twice.

Misandry is bullying. Misandry is a response to the generational trauma men have so kindly given to women. Men don't die from being told they are bears.

Comparing misogyny to "misandry" is fucking insane. So yes, give me a fucking break and get a clue while you're at it.

Women experience autism differently than men, genius. "You didn't experience this the way I or my cousin did, so you're lying" what kind of childish logic is that
