Are you mad because you're the type of person described in that greentext?

[Anonymous No.5359575]

>>5359541
No, you see antithetical means opposite, and 'something a respectable human being would do' and 'cringe worthiness' are not opposites, as some people would lead you to believe. They are exclusive, however.

Autism is conflated with unique individualistic behavior, and is not humorous in any way. Particularly when you use it in an invective.

Humor often derives from intentionally fallacious exaggeration. When someone displays an extremely minute ingcling of a behavior often observed in autistic people, and then is called autistic (a clear intentionally fallacious exaggeration) it can be humorous. You see, autism itself is not what is humorous, it is simply a vessel for the humor. The fact you can't pick up on this makes a lot sense considering your autism.

So you think I should have laughed when he called me autistic in his invective? It was just the tip of the iceberg, sir. The entire post was made out of a place of
A)wanting to belong
B)wanting to ostracize 'outsiders' from 4chan
C)wanting to ostracize those who are autistic, by using it as a pejorative

Humor is largely subjective. You could easily have laughed or not laughed (laughter isn't required to find something humorous by the way, think smirk or even completely internal etc.), there is no "should". I was simply pointing out that your objective statement that there is NO HUMOR AT ALL is stupid.

[Anonymous No.5359688]

>>5359674
Jesus Christ man, you didn't say "I don't find anything about autism funny" you said "there is nothing funny about autism" as in it couldn't be funny to ANYONE. I'm sure you didn't find it funny, but other people exist, and they find it funny. Therefor it can be funny, it's just not funny TO YOU.

[Anonymous No.5359698]

>>5359673
The perspective of those who point out flaws negatively is largely incorrect, because it supports a philosophy from something of hate, spite, and contempt rather than an atmosphere of reliable dialectical compromise.

The picture he posted of the story with some person (18 years of age no doubt) going up to a cashier and acting like an edgy teenager is not only fitting, it's what expected of the vast majority of teens on /lit/. It's not humorous, it's not exactly realistic either though, for some. It's somewhere in between and promotes a culture of generally deprecating behavior, and this breeds and festers in the back of your minds when you see posts like that. You are part of a community, now think about how you want to impact that community.

[Anonymous No.5359723]

>>5359688
Sorry I should change my statement to be more precise to the impact I was going for

Autism is not only not humorous, but anyone who uses mental deficiencies as pejoratives should be regarded as someone who is trying to ostracize that species of person. As well as someone who doesn't understand what it means to joke properly, and think that humor can be derived from such wanton invectives. Proper joking being derived, of course, from an atmosphere where you aren't insulting others and you're not facetiously treating some underprivileged group of people negatively.

I believe you're the one who first mentioned autism. The greentext in question doesn't bring up autism, nor is it suggested the main character has literal autism.

It is because of this that I believe you're trolling, or just extremely stupid

I disagree, I would define proper joking as anything that successfully produces the emotional response that we describe as 'finding something funny'.
