A joke isn't funny to everyone. I'm pretty sure I didn't offend 16,000+ people on this site. I have Aspergers and I made the site which the video links to (SteveRawx made the video) and I think it's pretty damn funny. And so do a lot of people I've spoke to.


You clearly didn't speak to anyone responding to this topic.


Nope, I didn't.

You know they added you to their site, Strapples:


I was deeply concerned to find that one pro-Asperger's hate site, Wrong Planet, has issued an internet fatwah against our video, calling on members to "slam the ratings", artificially and maliciously decreasing the previous 5-star rating of the video. Why would they do this? I pondered to myself. It then became pretty obvious, the website is financially invested in profitting from people by making they think they have a ficticious disorder. They wouldn't want their cash-cow to dry up. Some facts about Asperger's con:

- The Asperger's Lie site

Even if it was a lie, now he has more ammo. You would of done better to shut your mouth until you got a better criticism.

Andrew Northall, "Steve Rawx" et al. You, in having your little "Joke" are, by accident or design, pissing on people who have had to deal with trauma and hardship that you are unlikely to, and probably never will have to, deal with. Some of the people here may well take such offense as to make revenge and retribution their new obsession; and now, your address and 'phone number have been published internationally. WTF are you playing at? You had better hope www.aspiesforfreedom.com don't get on your case.

I found it funny.

Even funnier how people rush in to defend it over something as petty as this.

Who cares is somebody doesn't think Asperger's is real. That doesn't mean it isn't.
If you are an Aspie, then you are an Aspie, and you shouldn't have to fight for that title like it gains you special privileges or something. Asperger's itself does not make you a better person, it's what you do with it that does.

This is why we specifically discourage attacking other sites.

Point well made MrMark, Kalister1 but when so many of us have had to put up with so much sh*t over the years, it's easy to just lash out. Personally though, I wouldn't pick a fight with a bunch of Aspies...

You can't win by just blindly attacking them. Just state the facts and let the truth win over people.

Aspie jokes don't offend me. Jokes aren't real so I don't get offended by any of them.

Isn't youtube supposed to be a site where you upload videos to it?
That's just a wall of text.

He's also pretty stupid if he thinks asperger's doesn't exist. Maybe he should try to walk a mile in one of our shoes, no?

My shoes cost too much. I wouldn't let him near them.

Anyone read the disclaimer at the end of the website?

Quote:
D I S C L A I M E R

This site is a joke. None of this site is intended to be taken seriously, nor are any of the videos clips put on YouTube under the name "TheAspergersLie" to be taken seriously. This site was made by two friends who have a habit of seeing how far they can take something. We realise that this video may be offensive to some people with Asperger's syndrome but you should call back to the fact this site is a joke. I have Asperger's syndrome myself, diagnosed by a psychiatrist, and I know full well how it can effect someone but frankly I think if you are getting upset and moaning about this either on YouTube or on various websites out there you may have a case of internet serious business. This site is not intended to and has never been intended to offend anybody. It is simply an experiment in how far and how fast a website like this can spread throughout the internet. I think it's proved a lot about how the internet is being taken too seriously. Lighten up guys, I mean come on. You can say that this isn't just a webpage, but it concerns someone's life. In this case I think you should stop looking at websites which you find horribly offensive. If you then feel the need to go write about it angrily I think you need to go sit down and have a nice cup of tea and take a few hours off from the internet.
