cringe culture is just adult neurotypicals perpetuating the same bullying they did to classmates in school, except now they get millions of views for it
Honestly, it’s at the point now where if you use ‘nerd’ in a certain context (you know the one – ‘reblog to shove more [fandom] nerds in lockers’, that sort of thing) I probably won’t trust you for very long, because the word ‘nerd’ has always been dangling entirely too close to ‘autistic’ for me. You know the thing. The way teenagers would bully the ‘weird kids’ who were overenthusiastic about things and had no social graces. Same sort of teenagers who threw things out of moving buses at me and my sister, I would imagine.
