Looking at a picture of a man and leaping to the conclusion that because he cried when he got caught trying to rape a woman means that he’s developmentally impaired based only on his looks IS making fun of his looks, and everyone who has brought it up has tried to spin off mocking his appearances as merely being…

as a woman with high functioning autism (formerly known as asperger’s syndrome before the DSM-V came out), just no.

GOOD.

I’m immensely annoyed by the “I’m so upset by the story, here’s a distraction!” type posts as well. It seems really trendy. Like people need to prove that they are maximum distressed by a story, in a humorous way? It does strike me as a little attention-seeking and I don’t think it brings anything of value to the…

I also find it disgusting and disrespectful that people do this. I’d probably prefer an inane comment about a cake to that idiotic ‘cat carries kitten enough internet for the day’ gif, but every time someone does this I imagine the family of the deceased reading the article and finding someone in the comment section…

What is this cognitive dissonance when it comes to Empowering Acts of White Female Nudity?

Your point is an interesting, though uncomfortable one — sorry you’re getting piled on. I usually find myself rolling my eyes at the “Wow that sucks, so here’s a picture of MY PET BUNNY WABBIT!” posts on news about deeply tragic shit. I never respond because I know I’ll get piled on.

I get what you’re saying and also find it odd but it happens a lot here so I think this will fall on deaf ears. I try to imagine a real life conversation about the murder and then someone chiming in with “that’s horrifying, so anyway, let me tell you about this cake I just baked bc it makes me feel better”. In real…

You don’t think they feel guilty? I’m just saying, the average person wouldn’t assume something was wrong. It’s just a sad situation throughout, but I don’t think anyone should be blamed except for him.

Oh, honestly. Fuck off with your “#rollingstone #duke” bullshit.

Wait, why is this all what Amber did? She chose him, yes, but it takes two and she did not create the overall situation - he did.

Ugh. I was excited for this after an interview with the creator, but this sounds like a run of the mill CW/WB soapfest devoid of all the things that make Archie special. The comics have been proving that you can do angsty Archie while still retaining the flavor of the universe, so why can’t the script writers take a…

Hi. I don’t have ADHD, but I do have other health issues that require me to use medication that has “serious potential side effects” and which, much like ADHD medication, is heavily stigmatized by members of the public who don’t need it and thus have the luxury of assuming that people who do are just…

All drugs have side effects and the potential for abuse. I’ll take potential side effects, my lack of seizures, my ability to stay awake, my inability to get pregnant, and my reduced shoulder pain over full symptoms of epilepsy, narcolepsy, uteran shenanigans, and arthritis any fucking day of the year.

You do realize that ADHD is a real neurobiological developmental disorder, and that stimulant medication has been shown many times to be the most effective treatment? Sure, stimulants may be over-prescribed, and idiot college students will get high on whatever they can get their hands on, but whatever personal…

Yeah, agreed that controlled substances shouldn’t taste like candy. That is asking for trouble.

EVERYONE PANIC! They flavor most kid’s meds. Lock up your scripts, problem solved.

A former child star, Corey Feldman maybe, did say a few years ago that eventually all of the sexual abuse that is covered up will be revealed.

I think almost all child artists must get abused just by seeing how messed up they are as adults. Sorry but I don’t believe just having lots of money which they earned by working-not won in a lottery- would cause this much drug use, alcoholism and long term inability to function normally.

“but” = rape is OK as long as you pick a REALLY deserving victim. That’s exactly what you’re saying. Congrats.
