It's shocking that you can just bury your head in the sand about the colloquial usage of "autist" (often happening at the same time as "Incel") replacing "retard" in the lexicon of the average zoomer.
It's not a persecution complex to identify the ways that hate gets used, deployed, and repackaged for a new generation. Putting your head in the sand about stuff like this is why Trump winning the election was SO shocking to some and extremely obvious to others.
It's shocking that you seem to think that when I said, "the average person" you thought I meant everyone.
The average zoomer isn't your average person. People are sometimes cruel. The average person is not. The average person didn't vote for Trump.
I also took most issue with grouping a autism with "nerdy". Being a nerd has never been easier.

Okay, but that's not what happened. Cool strawman though.
