why cringe culture is dumb as fuck and hurts autistic kids

There’s this kid at my school and he has autism. His special interest is Five Night’s at Freddy’s. He loves it, he spends a lot of time drawing art of it and making characters of it and watching videos of it. He has all the games and knows all the secrets and he’s really passionate about it. 

Now, as another kid with autism, my special interest is computers. I’m known at my school for having hacked the wifi and gotten the password to the fast wifi over and over and even getting around to downloading games like Minecraft and other games on the school computers and get passed blocked sites. 

My friends are fucking exhausted of me constantly talking about computers and going off on long programming rants and they don’t understand a single fucking thing. 

Who gets bullied more? He does. Because of his special interest whilst I’m praised for it. People come up to me and pay me to help them with their game programming class assignments and projects. But him? He is constantly harassed for it. Why? Because FnaF is “cringe culture” 

 People constantly say “if it was middle school he’d be normal but now he’s just cringy.” and “wow he’s the embodiment of cringe culture”

it’s dumb as fuck ?? He’s literally just enjoying a game ?? Him knowing all the secrets in that one fnaf game is literally the same as all these other kids in class knowing all the hacks in COD or Black Ops or people knowing the ins and outs of some book. 

But because it’s “cringe culture” he gets bullied every day. Yes, sometimes he goes off on it and doesn’t stop talking, but he’s so passionate about it and he’s smiling wide the entire time because it makes him happy. 

But now he rarely even wants to talk about it. Instead of on the computers, he’s on his phone with the brightness all the way down. He doesn’t draw his ocs or fan art anymore, because he’s ashamed of it because of all the bullying he’s received. 

anyway long story short cringe culture is dumb as fuck and it hurting autistic kids who have “cringy” things as their special interest. 

It's funny that when Kodaka tweeted about Shuichi being bisexual everyone screamed for joy, but when he tweeted about Komaeda being totally cool with going out with girls, everyone went blind.

Maps deserve all the hate they get and then some

Times like these I wish the kanji in Ryoko's name was "light" instead of "refreshing"
