You didn’t stop reading? Then it’s a bit weird that you’d think I don’t know autistic people have empathy, unless you decided to arbitrarily take the most bad faith reading you could’ve done. If that’s the case, I recommend taking breathers before posting so that you don’t do that.
I was suggesting that no one else needs it explained to them either.
You’d hope so! But alas, some idiots exist. And when a title like this appears, it becomes difficult to tell if such an idiot wrote it at first glance, and more to point, a title like that tends to create more idiots (and it’s also just kinda offensive). That’s why it’s important not to write headlines like this.
Sidenote: If you want people to not take things personally, avoid personal pronouns. “Is that something that you need explained?” → “Is that something that people need explained?” It makes a world of difference and I’m confident I’ve avoided several arguments that could’ve spawned from my own posts thanks to making that kind of change. Not foolproof, sure – we are on the internet – but it helps.
Did you stop reading the rest of the post when you saw that? Because it really looks like you did.
Sure didn’t.

Dude, you’re just being a contrarian dick

You were the only one here suggesting this required an explanation.
Explaining this would be like explaining that women can dress themselves. It’s unnecessary and suggests the opposite.
Alright, I think you’re being deliberately antagonistic now. Bye!
