“Curse of The Author”, December 22, 2023: In this podcast episode, I talk about a comic I did…(he talks about this recent incident of being hated on by everyone on Twitter like halfway through, and mentions the Hesse X JoCat social media harassment incident) https://www.hausofdecline.com/episodes/1/1655962

    That much is probably true, but it’s kind of wild how hexbear claims not to be ableist and then takes such a massively condescending tone to someone seemingly for their writing being so colored by their neurodivergence. You aren’t, to be clear, but it’s most of the thread every time.

    Idk, a huge amount of the website is an inch away from saying they just openly despise ASD (etc.) people who don’t conform to a very . . . particular idea of what that means.

    I expect most users who recognize my username at this point will tell me to go fuck myself for saying that, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong

          I think you’re insinuating that BMF is neurodivergent and therefore us making them into a meme is ableism. Not sure I agree for two point.

          1: i don’t really see any clear indicators they’re neurodivergent. Neurotypical people can just be weird poster sometimes.

          2: we don’t know if this person actually is BMF, and not just someone doing a long bit.

          3: OG BMFs style was pretty in line with weirdo-counterculture-remnants-Maoism from the 70s-80s, I think their OG style is just a holdover of that no any sign of being on the spectrum or whatever. My theory is they’re just some dude who’s mom was in a weird Weather Underground splinter reading group in Ann Arbor.
