Can we please not defile the word weirdo by making it about alt-right and far-right people?
I used to be a proud weirdo, but now it's a far-right thing rather than a neurodiverse thing :(
the thing is they aren't and won't claim it for themselves. claiming to being the normal/majority/default is super important to them and weird is the antithesis of that. we can claim weirdness for ourselves like we have for ages without anyone mistaking us as right wingers because of this. good weird vs bad weird has always been a thing, too.
at least, that's my two cents on the matter. they may end up trying to claim it and take the wind out of it but i doubt it.
That's a good point, ownership certainly makes a difference. I know I'm weird. Thanks :)
People that are offended by being called weird are the bad kind of weirdos.
Thanks for being a good weirdo! 🤩
