  • The “@” is sometimes used because it’s made of an “o” and an “a” making it somewhat both at the same time, but it presents a very obvious problem: how do you say it? Because we call that symbol “arroba” and saying “encantadarroba” sounds weird AF. Just switch the vowel for an “e” and be done with it. In italian there’s the “schwa”: ə" that serves the same function, it’s harder to type because it’s not usually found on keyboards, but whatever, if being inclusive and pissing bigots takes so little effort, I’m gonna try and use it as much as possible, even if it’s still something that takes some effort to apply at times because of the interiorized grammar that you have to unlearn.

    Edit: forgot to add, bigots get angry about it because you are “desecrating the sacred language” or shit like that. But you know how it is, they are the biggest snowflakes ever.




  • I did! I rarely speak in spanish when I’m on the internet (unless it’s with known people with whom I can safely use gendered language because I know them), but when I do, I tend to use it because it’s easier than having to ask what your preferred gender is. It also makes it easier to spot the people I don’t want to talk with because they will quickly get offended because woke.



  • There is evidence of it. This page explains it somewhat well: https://www.simplypsychology.org/autism-justice-sensitivity.html although it fails to address it with an autistic perspective as it says:

    As a result, any perceived injustice (even minor ones) can trigger strong emotional reactions such as anger, anxiety, or sadness.

    I disagree with this, i know what’s anger, what’s anxiety… injustice feels different to those.

    I could search later for more sources, but talking to other autistic folks, I noticed that many of us have a wide array of emotions that either work differently, or are not present in neurotypical brains.

    The most prevalent has always been justice and the reason we concur on it being an emotion is because it can manifest physical symptoms the same way as any other emotion.
