When you sneeze all the blow right back out

Can we please not defile the word weirdo by making it about alt-right and far-right people?

I used to be a proud weirdo, but now it's a far-right thing rather than a neurodiverse thing :(

You could try calling yourself eccentric instead. That was how the rich used to get away with their weirdness.

the thing is they aren't and won't claim it for themselves. claiming to being the normal/majority/default is super important to them and weird is the antithesis of that. we can claim weirdness for ourselves like we have for ages without anyone mistaking us as right wingers because of this. good weird vs bad weird has always been a thing, too.

at least, that's my two cents on the matter. they may end up trying to claim it and take the wind out of it but i doubt it.

That's a good point, ownership certainly makes a difference. I know I'm weird. Thanks :)

People that are offended by being called weird are the bad kind of weirdos.

Thanks for being a good weirdo! 🤩

Like another commenter, I think there's good weird and bad weird, and calling conservatives weird is effective because they're so insistent they're the normal ones

I'll happily keep referring to myself as a weirdo, because I am weird. I just don't have any illusions to the contrary

As a weirdo myself, It's not my fault conservative snowflakes have a problem with being called weird.

Probably not till after November, my weird kin, (u/@ms_[email protected]). I've always found and appreciated finding myself in weird company. And yeah the cool, creative, nerdy, neurodivergent folx have always been around me. I'm sure I would have been drugged as a child had I been born later. As it was, I had to do it myself. ;-)

Came thru just fine, so apparently the answer is yes. Hello, this is Infectious Disease, do you have a moment to talk about aerosols?

I Love/ Hate this new community.
