Look, I'm sorry for the stuff you've had to deal with in terms of harassment and bullying. However, the point that I tried to make was that the kind of bullying that deals with ABDL interests isn't necessarily a liberal or conservative political thing. It's more of a general problem thing because I've dealt with both liberals and conservatives that aren't ABDLs who harassed me in another community before I was banned. Most of them were slightly more higher functioning than me, since I was probably one of the only members there who wasn't standardized until high school. I can't really say this would've been better if they were liberal or not. They even made fucked up memes about me where it had a noose at the bottom because they thought I tried to kill myself over something ridiculous.
That alone just made me feel like those people were never my friends, but rather they were just friendly to me because they shared common interests. I show great remorse for why they believe that I hurt them, but I can't say they were forgiving of me. I can't really be comfortable with them when I've been called a pedophile on their own terms.
Maybe. You're right in that aspect as far as Autistic people go. Me and my friends all got banned out of a chatroom of this so called Autistic "support group", by the higher functioning ones. The founder of support group, even got banned himself. I would have turned the playing field of these bullies against them and discontinued the chat as it was, if it had been up to me, and I founded the group, and put them out of their misery. A lot of higher functioning Autistic people, including the ones who used to be classified as "Asperger Syndrome", are liberals though, I've noticed; and the ones with more severe or Classic Autism tend to be more Republican / Conservative.
But as far as the kids in college, they were NOT on the Autism Spectrum at all, and the vast majority were Democrats. I was a Democrat myself back then 23 years ago and that didn't make them treat me any better, as you obviously can see from what I wrote before this response. I'm a Republican, but I don't believe in everything Republicans think either. I'm totally against the death penalty, but then again, I do know some Conservative Republicans who are against the death penalty, not just me.
Your last point is exactly what I mean. I've never bullied anyone and I'm 99% positive that anyone who ever knew me would say how I was a sweet and kind child growing up, including most, if not all, of the bullies I had. I had a few bullies even comment looking back that I was nothing but sweet and kind child. And I never bullied anyone back, I never fought back.
What you said last is correct. I realize that other people don't forgive me for my Autism, in spite of the fact that I'm so forgiving towards others. I thought it went both ways, at least, from what I learned in Catholic school. You know, like when you pray the Lord's Prayer, and you say "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us". I realize there is little forgiveness for people who are different or disabled. Apparently, there are two types of forgiveness - one for committing crimes, and there's also forgiveness for being different or disabled. Apparently society really lacks in that. They don't forgive you if you lack certain cotton pickin social skills if you are Autistic or if you are what they perceive as strange. That's how I ended up being around mostly young children and some elderly people. I do have friends who are liberal, but most of them are old college instructors I've known for 25-30 years, some surrogate grandparents, etc. Young children aree forgiving of the fact I lack certain social skills or don't pick up certain social nuances or don't give people enough space and get too close to people's faces when I talk. God bless those children. I probably would be 6 feet under by now, if not for them.
I might understand if you are 9 years old and bully people because you get bullied at home by an abusive parent, but don't expect me to understand if you are 45 years old and you have your own house, family, and children, and still bully others.
One final question : since you mentioned that you don't want to hang around those who call you stupid names, do you also have lots of friends who are children? Like I said, I think this is common in Autistic adults, to have child friends. And sometimes not even Autistic people. For instance my brother, who is 4 years younger than me, plays basketball with teens in his neighborhood's basketball court sometimes and he is in his early 40s and is perfectly "normal" and has 2 children - my nephews - who are 6 and 10 years old. I've gotten so frustrated with everyone, I feel like I want to get buried amongst a whole bunch of preschoolers when I kick the bucket, because I'm afraid even after death, I'll be judged by others who are spirits. At least if I'm among young children, I can be at peace and maybe have a little fun in the afterworld as a kid spirit. I hope God has enough sense to turn me into a 4 year old angel in Heaven.
Take care
