“Neurodiverse = wrong/broken/evil” is a brainworm that I wish would die. Sucks that it probably never will.

The worlds most evil people are able and “normal” for lack of a better word anyway.

    I’ve noticed an increase in pathologising people as an insult in general. There are so many armchair pop psychologists throwing around terms they don’t understand.

      I’ve noticed an increase in pathologising people as an insult in general.

      I really think a lot of this is a result of r*ddit-type online culture. I don’t think people used “narcissist” to refer to the pathology in casual conversation much before it became really popular online. Previously, I think people just used it as an insult to tell people they were selfish. I think it also comes from things like police interrogation video slop that the YouTube algorithm shovels onto people. Copslop-brain.
