Dear god, thanks for reminding me why I hate fandomsecrets.

Somehow, I had a feeling that checking the comments for an actual secret rather than just the "Adoptables" thread would be an enormous mistake. Nice to know I'm right. (TW: ABLEISM UP THE FUCKING WAZOO)

How nice that while people think I'm a stupid whackjob IRL, I can't tell about my experiences online 'cause I'll just be lumped with SJWs who fake and/or use their disability as an excuse to be assholes while referring to neurotypical people with condescending terms such as "allistics."

Meanwhile, I should stop visiting the "Audience Alienating Premise" because it makes me feel depressed. It feels like the things I want to see more of and/or want to write land smack-dab on that page, which gives me the impression that while I might like them, the majority of humankind doesn't. Making me feel even more weird and isolated. Ugh. Though really, I question some of the things listed, like Madoka. It's hardly "alienated" its audience when it's currently one of the most hyped and enormously popular series right now. :/

Agh, damnit. Do people really need HELLO [NEUROATYPICAL] signs carved into every non-NT character's head?

"Audience Alienating Premise"
*checks*
...Wait. Weren't some of those books and video games highly popular?

It's people like this that makes me want to pick them up and strangle them. Yeah, slamming neurotypicals (Oh, I'm sorry, "allistics." *gag*) is totally going to help autistics get the help and respect they deserve.

No kidding! I can understand some stuff being on there (Terry Gilliam's films, obscure Oscar winners that nobody but critics have watched, incestual pedophilia, etc) but Pet Sematary? Yeah, no.

You want an Audience Alienating Premise? Try the Raggedy Ann musical. Too dumb for adults, too scary for children, and an obscure flop to boot!
