This is somewhat cheating because it's from Twitter, but there was a poll on what shade of skin tumblr users had. Hundreds of thousands took the poll.

Whites or Asians. Only 0.6% black. The gender wars really did come on the heels of white tumble girls.

I glanced at the account that posted that poll and oh man if you want some REALLY telling statistics about tumblr's userbase check out the rest of the polls they posted.

I bet both of those have a huge argument over central heterochromia vs. hazel in the notes. The difference between the two is extremely minor (gradient between colors vs clearly defined edge) and the sort of thing I can see them getting bent all of shape over and goalpost-moving over 'clearly defined'.

A 2023 study of 87 adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders without intellectual disabilities found that 28.7% scored above 90th percentile narcissistic traits, and people who had higher amounts of autistic traits (test used was the RAADS-R) tended to have higher amounts of narc traits (test used was the NPI). Autists also scored higher on traits of vulnerable narcissism than the normative population's scores. (Autists with intellectual disabilities were not part of this study.) (x)

This makes me think once again about all the possible damage that merging Asperger's with autism into "autism spectrum disorder" has caused. I think it's also aspies who now milk the label the most, I mean, why wouldn't they, they're now technically "the same" as actual autists who likely can't live without disability benefits, despite being functionally just weird normies by the time they grow up, imo.

Also, I can't find the study now, but years ago I read about schizophrenics and autistic people being primary targets of people with NPD and BPD due to being the most vulnerable demographics on par with children and elderly. This might explain why so many self-identified autists online seem to always go after actually mentally disabled individuals, as aspies are, like I said, functionally normies that according to your study seem to be having psychopathic tendencies.

Maybe even that's the root of all these "call out posts" written by these individuals who try to make people gang up on some random user for either a minor dumb thing that they said without thinking or for actual ugly expression of a mental illness. I mean, come on, is it really that weird for schizophrenics and autistic people, who by definition of their diagnosis kind of literally live in a different reality than the rest of us, to possess ideas that may happen to sound "problematic"? What the fuck did you all think "mental illness" means? Makes me think of posts I see every once in a while, that go something like this, "I have schizoaffective disorder and delusions but that doesn't make me X-phobic, it's an intentional choice!!" if what you said is true, then you're just lucky that your delusions manifest as something else that just happened to fall under being politically correct. If anything, conspiracies against random groups of people seem to be an extremely common occurence among paranoid schizos. Also have you considered a possibility that you may not be a schizo/autist/whatever altogether but simply an emotionally unstable individual, grew up a spoiled child that didn't learn how to regulate themselves, lack vitamins that mess with your mind occasionally, etc. Very convenient that you hallucinate random shadows, shapes or cartoon characters or something along these lines. Misdiagnosis is extremely common these days, also not every weird or shitty systematic behavior needs to be medicalized into separate labels, but that's a whole other topic.

Anyways, I find all this really ironic, considering that these same people who pick on real mentally ill individuals circulate posts about mental illness being ugly and that we all must accept it. I think it's the way narcs try to condition others to deal with their antics.
 
Eh. Any mental illness is morally neutral if you ask me. I don't think the illness itself is what makes you bad, even in cases of Cluster B disorders. Yes, they can facilitate bad behavior, but it isn't the end all be all for any individual who has it. I think that treating any disorder like a demon disorder does help perpetuate bad behavior in those suffering with it as it can lead to people wanting to double down out of spite or be afraid to seek therapy at the risk of being seen as a monster.

What's important to know about CB disorders is that they're often (not always, but often), caused by childhood trauma and are results of shitty environments. Obviously this doesn't excuse the ones who do harm to others, and that goes for any mental illness, not just these ones. I do feel if these things were talked about more without the "you're automatically a bad person," label, this might open more options for help with disordered thought patterns and the likes.

Of course, that's just my two cents. I find the whole thing interesting, the way the mind can work and how things might be if they were handled differently.

Anyway, thread tax:

Somewhere in the StraySheep thread, someone (maybe you?) mentioned that Cluster Bs tend to latch onto autists because autists are easy to manipulate - they rationalize red flags very easily, and there's probably an element of "my partner may be difficult sometimes, but as an autist I'm plenty difficult myself, who else would even want me?" I'm not gonna search it right now though.

Yeah, I think there is something... unique, for lack of a better word, that happens to aspies that makes them more predisposed to narc traits than the general population. Due to their disorder, they don't intuitively consider other people's perspectives, which already predisposes them to poor social skils. But if they're also "high-functioning", they probably have at least one topic of interest that they legitimately know a lot about (might even be character relationships or something else adjacent to social skills), if they're not already above-average at book smarts. I could see how someone like that might develop a mindset like "I know I'm smart because I understand intellectual things, so everyone else must be too illogical to understand; it's not my fault when I have trouble getting along with others." A lot of ~aspie supremacy~ content and some ~it's a difference not a disability~ rhetoric reads this way.

This was a cathartic paragraph to read. If mental illness was only encapsulated by being endearingly pathetic, with all the symptoms being easy for other people to relate to and sympathize with, it would just be called "having a rough couple of months." The idea that mental illness is just having a lot of negative feelings in a sympathetic way and some quirks that never make it hard to trust someone or be around them... a lot of tumblr users have a fanfiction view of mental illness.

Agreed. Incidentally, if I had a nickel for every time I've read about a disordered person saying "if I had a personality disorder I'd kill myself" in support forums for people whose loved ones have cluster B disorders, I'd probably be able to buy a cup of fancy hot cocoa. Nobody wants to be One Of Those Inherently Bad People, especially people who have a whole dysfunction formed around not accepting fault/guilt/shame. (There's a more correct way to phrase it but you know what I mean.) Shifting from "one of those inherently bad people" to perhaps "one of those difficult to get along with people" might help without downplaying that a person who displays PD traits is definitionally difficult to get along with.

I've noticed you're allowed to keep your space entirely white if you moralfag enough, kind of like those super Democrat 90 percent white towns in Vermont. A racist person could study what exact type of moralfagging repels other races and weaponize it.
 
warning this post is LONG, ive been observing these communities for a while and needed to sperg

let me introduce you guys to my favorite tumblr niche, radqueers! now i know theres already a radqueer thread, but that one focuses on the pedos/zoos that run rampant in the community, i want to show you guys the much funnier/lighthearted and somehow more deranged sides of it.

you know how being transracial is widely considered a joke identity, something made up to mock genderspecials and sjws? what if i told you theres a very active part of tumblr that unironically identifies as transrace, or transdisabled, or transtrauma! heres their official website so you can educate yourself on their super real and valid identities. now for some tumblr posts:

self reporting
IMG_4242.webpIMG_4244.webp
"i ate a burger before, just the patty. japanese hamburg steak."
IMG_4246.webpIMG_4248.webpIMG_4249.webp
most of them are just japanophile weebs, theres a few transblack ones but ive yet to see any others races besides the random russian and german

now for the proud munchie community, they even share tips on larping as a wheelchair userIMG_4250.webpIMG_4253.webpIMG_4256.webpIMG_4257.webp
conceringly the community encourages people to gonas far as cutting off limbs or getting in accidents to "transistion". it all just reminds me of that dorrance #5X stainless steel hooks girl
IMG_4258.webpIMG_4261.webp

now for my personal favorite for the sheer absurdity, the medically unrecognized disorder community, where they create mental illnesses complete with diagnostic criteria and pride flags. i dont have as many screenshots for these because the posts are so long they usually take 2-3 screenshots and this post is long enough

IMG_4230.webp

they made dehydration a mental illnessIMG_4264.webpIMG_4265.webp
ill just leave this one here

IMG_4269.webpIMG_4270.webpIMG_4260.webp

theres another part of this community i want to share, the "build an alter" and transDID community, where they literally make ocs for other DID larpers to adopt, complete with madeup trauma for them to claim, but this post is long enough

and last but not least, remember farmers, if not you, then who?
IMG_4233.webp
If not you, who?

If it's not you, speaking up for the little boy using crutches, even though he doesn't "need" them, a boy who has a heart full of kindness, who's told that his joy is "wrong," then who will tell him that his light is meant to shine, not dim under the weight of someone else's expectations?

If it's not you, stepping forward when the teenage girl in your class nervously whispers, "I think I might be transracial," only to be met with silence or scorn, then who will show them that how they feel is never wrong and that they are perfect as they are?

If it's not you, protecting the transspecies girl walking home from school, terrified of being harassed because she was outed, then who will ensure she knows she belongs, that she deserves safety, and that her existence is valid?

If it's not you defending the transage person who's mocked in a meeting, shrinking under the weight of others' laughter, then who will remind everyone that their words matter, and that respect for those different to them is the bare minimum?

If it's not you, standing by the parents who are learning how to love their MAP child through confusion, fear, and a world that tells them it's easier to turn away, then who will remind them that love should be unconditional and the strongest bond of all?

If it's not you, speaking out when constant harassment and pain from a society who doesn't understand, threatens the very existence of paraphile and transid lives, then who will stand at the front lines, defending their right to exist and leave peacefully, as their truest and most authentic selves?

If it's not you, showing up for the zoo adult rejected by their family, the transabled teen who feels invisible, or the questioning child who feels scared, then who will make sure they see they're not alone?

Who will let them know that they are part of something bigger, something stronger, a community of love, resilience, and hope?

Every unkind word that goes unchallenged becomes an echo. Every act of discrimination that's ignored grows roots. Silence fuels hate, and inaction fuels oppression.

sorry for formatring im a mobilefag and not entirely sober

With the trans-racial ones it's like they had the realization that being transgender is no different than being trans-race, but then they came to the wrong conclusion that it's all acceptable to try to cope with it in their world view.
 
It's kind of a good thing that these people exist in a way, because it forces people to acknowledge that "I'll kill myself and it will be all your fault!" is manipulative and not a reason to give in. Will a significant number apply it to trans logic, probably not, but the inconsistency even existing is helpful.

I think it's partly this, partly lack of empathy mixed with poor understanding of people and social norms and a human need for belonging.
You put this together with them gravitating towards narcs for the reasons u mentioned and you have someone who now has a script for how they should behave - from the narc. Aspie sees narc being a cunt -> aspie imitates it.
It's not that they don't like to push others around its more that for them it's less something that comes naturally like for narcs and bpds and something they learn as part of their social mask and use to fit in and score points with the narc ("see how good I am at manipulating ppl? Just like you!"). Mostly they need something to make sense of the world. Which is a other reason narcs like them, they need a script and narcs are willing to provide it.

Add narcissitic behavior to lack of social awareness and autistic obcession and you have the perfect narc pawn. A narc often knows when to stop, an autist doesn't unless they are made to.

Aspies also for one reasom or the other never grow mentally past mommy and daddy and narcs love, love that shit.

Besides the pedo and zoo shit, in my opinion this movement is legitimately more logically consistent and intellectually honest than the mainstream gender movement. People make the transrace and transage jokes since it’s the obvious reductio ad absurdum, but these people legit embrace the obvious line of reasoning and thus I find it hard to be mad at them for it (again, excluding the pedo and zoo advocacy).
