Most people understand that not wanting to have sex with everyone all the time is normal and don't say anything about it. It's only weirdos that want other people to think they are special that think up labels for their normality. It's basically hipsterism.

Exactly. That’s also how the term demisexuality was coined, when in reality that was a normal behavior (for anyone who isn’t a nymphomaniac who would have sex with literally anyone without any emotional attachment). Wanting to be special so bad.

All the people I've met who labelled themselves demisexual, nb, pan etc have been autistic types. I have no idea what the connection is but I suspect this shit is a fandom to them.

There is also a huge community which is a mix of autistic people being SJWs. Perhaps because SJWs act is if they want to fight for better treatment of autistic but not really. Enough to also say that certain people with diagnoses who speak against the woke stuff are being silenced in any discussions (from what I saw while browsing Reddit and the original TiA).

I mean I think it's more that autistic people become fixated on certain things. SJW groups tend to be more outwardly celebratory of such conditions which tbf, autistic people will find welcoming, they do need acceptance as well, and the whole anti-bullying fever will be attractive to socially awkward people who are the target of bullying. Doesn't surprise me.

Course autistic people aren't stupid just lacking in the social graces so there will be plenty of them on the opposite side of the fence as well, but for activist bullshit it's all about language manipulation and double standards and the like which frankly autistic people are not generally so good at navigating adeptly.

Plus the anti-SJW side let's be fair had the "bullies" now a lot of the "bullies" are just typical male bonding behavior of ripping on the other guy because it shows a kind of social acceptance and respect, and you are expected to rip on them back, but this is one of those shall we say tricky double standard and language minefields that autistic people find difficult to navigate as well so it's hard for them when they take things like "Omg you're so retarded" literally instead of the socially acceptable answer of "yeah your mom told me that last night too"

Yeah, it’s the SJWs that exploit people. Reminds me of how I enraged one girl who was wondering whether she is autistic or not. So far all the specialists denied the possible diagnosis. I mean, autism in women in still not researched enough. But she also had this toxic mentality that being autistic = being perfectly good (as well as not as these evil white cis men). I told her that whether she will finally get a diagnosis or not won’t change anything about her personality. Diagnosis could give new insights about oneself though. I told her that she shouldn’t fetishize autism as if it’s something that makes you better than others and if more than one person claims most likely she isn’t autistic, there’s something to think about. Then she blocked me.

I also agree with the last part of your comment. I can see these bonding patterns too (in men).
