Lmao thanks bro i joined this place last night after hearing about it on Reddit I decided to go for a short username and this one was available i couldn’t fucking believe it
That’s unfortunately a side effect of this type of UI, upvotes and downvotes inherently cultivate a hive mind mentality, making following the meta more important than critical thinking. If you make a clone of Lemmy I guarantee you it will follow the same path eventually
People just like different things, theres nothing to “get”
If you liked it, awesome, enjoy! Let others hate it, its their own energy they are wasting. I didn’t like it either but I cant be bothered to comment about it.
He’s not officially autistic because then it would be obviously wrong to laugh about his behavior - but they still gave him autistic behaviors and expect people to laugh about it! That’s honestly worse, as now it’s supposedly okay to make fun of the things autistic people struggle with.
Imagine we switched out the behavior. Instead of Sheldon behaving like autistic people do, we could give him the issues people with Tourette’s face. Of course he doesn’t have Tourette’s, but he shows the same involuntary tics, and him behaving like that is the butt of the joke. Would the show be at fault?
I literally gave an argument for why this isn’t the be-all-end-all. Would you like to try engaging with that instead of just repeating a response that doesn’t actually try to understand the issue?
I fucking hate that show. Also, I love your username.

Ahoy, welcome! 🏴
“Available”. You could have joined any instance besides world where it was also available. This is not leddot.
Chill
When I started reading their comment, I really thought they were going to make a joke about the word “available” to refer to your slut username lol.
That would have been way funnier.
Welcome to Lemmy.
Calm down brother. Accept new users
As a Fediverse user for probably 2 years now
Fuck you for not welcoming a new user.
OP you are welcome on Lemmy and the wide Fediverse!
What crawled up your ass dude?
world’s liberals heh
What’s wrong with you? Get off Lemmy if this is how you’re gonna welcome new users ya parasite
Proceeds to reply in the most “leddot” way possible.
I really should just delete all my Lemmy accounts, after the reddit exodus this place just turned into reddit 2.0
Wtf is leddoy and what is it known for
I just took it to be a mentally 12yo’s mangling of “reddit”

Welcome to Lemmy! Ignore the jerk in the corner.
i don’t get the hate. was my comfort show for a good five years… it’s a random ass sitcom, what did people want it to be?

It was just kind of boring.
It’s also not funny
I hate it because it stereotypes autistic people. I’m tired of being compared to Sheldon Cooper.
they never even said he was autistic?
He’s not officially autistic because then it would be obviously wrong to laugh about his behavior - but they still gave him autistic behaviors and expect people to laugh about it! That’s honestly worse, as now it’s supposedly okay to make fun of the things autistic people struggle with.
Yet my autistic tendencies are compared to him.
That’s not the shows fault though, is it? That’s people
Imagine we switched out the behavior. Instead of Sheldon behaving like autistic people do, we could give him the issues people with Tourette’s face. Of course he doesn’t have Tourette’s, but he shows the same involuntary tics, and him behaving like that is the butt of the joke. Would the show be at fault?
Again, you’re still the one stereotyping him as autistic, nowhere in the show does it actually say he is
