Not to defend billionaires but Lemmy is so weird, they’re always like “protect people on the spectrum! Accept neuro divergence!” But at the same time they’ll be like “that guy acts weird, what a loser!” I see it a lot around here, some celebrities who are autistic are fair game, some aren’t 🤷‍♂️
Jerry Seinfeld pops in my head. He’s autistic, when he was younger he liked women younger than him. Super common with autistic people who feel mentally younger so they like people who are more on their level, but he gets called a creep etc, despite not breaking any law.
Normal dudes like Johnny Depp are 60 and still chasing girls right out of high school and nobody cares
- the difference, is whether someone is punching up (ridiculing powerful billionaires) vs punching down/sideways (diverse and marginalized peeps). seems like pretty basic and consistent application of a worldview to me.
  no comment on celebrities. i don't give two flying fucks at rolling donut about celebrities.
- Wait, you really dont know the difference between a neurodivergent and psychopathic asshole with a god conplex??
  
  Yeah I have autistic kids asshole. What is with the shitty responses and abusive attitude towards others on Lemmy. How does your post contribute anything but strife and shit slinging? Be better, be productive. Stop being so hateful to every stranger that you disagree with.
  
  Sorry not gonna feel sorry for psychopathic assholes. They dont need our "understanding"; they need to be eliminated.
- People to whom justice isn’t more than an aesthetic. I’ve seen people also turn being gay, or feminine, or poor, or overweight into an insult to hurl at people after making a point of being an ally
  Billionaires are oppressors and exploiters, killers of the planet and the people alike, not sure why those can’t be the insults we use and we have to resort to thing that reinforce these social hierarchies
  
  To clarify i think Elon musk’s autism is irrelevant to why I despise him, same as the autism of Jeffrey Dahmer has no bearing on why I hate him too.
  Once you cross a line you can’t defend it even with autism.
  
  fElon said he has it. Never been diagnosed by a medical authority that I have seen and I have also seen a few articles saying that he never got tested.
- There's a difference between autistic and psychopathic.
  
  Yeah there’s a line, like I said elsewhere, Dahmer was likely autistic but that’s not why we hate him. Call out these billionaires for stealing wages, impoverishing communities, buying politicians and being all around corrupt, but the whole “they’re weirdo losers who have no social skills” thing is a bit out of hand
- Depp makes me shudder. He started dating Winona when she was 17 and he was mid 20s. Can't fathom why he gets a pass
  
  He did that a lot, last I read he was dating some 23 year old. He gets a pass after that trial cause he married someone crazier and more abusive than him, that trial proved Depp is also an abusive piece of shit and a psycho, those texts to Paul Bettany where Depp is asking him to help him rape and murder Amber Heard is wild. How did that alone not cancel him?
  Dude also dates women barely out of their teens and then goes “why are the women i date crazy?” Maybe cause they’re young and you’re almost a senior, date women your age. Reminds me of the friend who is always saying “everyone I know causes drama” it’s you.
  I felt that a lot of the Heard/Depp trial was red pill men happy to bury a woman and use her as an example of “women are the problem” thinking
  
  Yep the manosphere was all over it. The judges verdict on the UK Depp Heard trial is really interesting, the judge is used to testing and reviewing evidence and found he was the abuser. And you're right the rape texts alone should have ended him cos they're awful.
