| Look, the OP implied that autism maybe be a likely reason why someone could be observed regularly making denigrating jokes like "9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape", because we lack "social awareness" to tell otherwise. As an autistic person, who knows other autistic people, and is a part of online community of autistic people, I'll go out on limb and say that the OP is talking out of their ass, and I can comfortably speak on the behalf of the community on this topic. Other people who identified as being on the spectrum in this thread agreed. OP never said they were autistic. It's just what they think autistic people would do. It's an n=√-1 generalization: purely imaginary, and on top of it, insulting, because figuring out why a joke like "9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape" is bad doesn't take that much. Particularly because so much has been written about it. Go ahead and read [1], it's an excellent article. Or my comments elsewhere. TL;DR: portraying the condition of "being a jerk" as an autistic trait is a jerk move. >What I feel is worth spending time criticising is my business. Then perhaps you should spend less time criticizing, and more time getting a clue — though again, I'm sure you have different plans regarding that too.
