[quote="Poeticromance"]South Park jokes doesn't bother me because they make fun of EVERYONE and if they haven't yet, they're planning on it. They don't discriminate. They just pick on everyone no matter who you are.[/quote]

Why would they do that? They want to turn a profit. M&T don't seem like the humanitarian type. If
South Park
hadn't taken off like it did, M&T would still be in a basement somewhere, amuseming themselves.

That Trey and Matt don't love us.
What if they did it to make money and to raise awareness at the same time?

Well I like aspie humor. Jokes aren't real. If people are offended with jokes, it's their problem not the other person who did them.
If people don't like the humor on South Park, they shouldn't be watching it. It's obvious people like the humor in it or the new episodes still wouldn't be being made.
My dad has a friend who is Jewish and he still likes this show.
The good news is they make fun of everything, so why should we get the special rule about "Don't make fun of our condition, make fun of others."
Yes there are lot of things they still haven't made fun of yet.
Was anyone with Tourette's on here offended by one of the episodes they made about it?
Are any handicapped people on here offended with South Park? They have made fun of crippled people. I remember Cripple Fight and and I can remember when Timmy first appeared. It was the one they made fun of about ADD. Anyone on here offended with that?

Being ridiculed by South Park is not as honourific as it seems. It makes me crazy how you will cry to heaven about this kind of treatmemnt at school, but actually look forward to someone making fun of you on TV. It's maddening, questionable, and it needs to be advised against. Matt & Trey do not love you. THey are taking advantage of your weaknesses and profiting from them.
Get that through your head!!!

Unfortunately, it doesn't mean you

care about it, either...

So being insulted by Parker & Stone is actually a compliment?

Trust me, i'd be more worried if South Park DIDN'T pick on us. That's just how they roll. It's like a mirror world: whoever they DON'T insult are they people they ARE insulting.
Yeah, definitely... Parker and Stone know how to pick on a group in such a way that they actually support the ideas by picking on them (anyone remember when cartman faked being disabled and competing in the special olympics?)
Also, if parker and stone were to do an aspie episode (or even just autistics in general), they would be more likely to see our side of the cause, since activism (in this case, the whole "autism is an epidemic" argument) is the one thing that is usually cast in a completely negative light on that show...

The best bit was when cartman said: "Then maybe we should send him to concentration CAMP!"

Sometimes it's hard to separate bullying from other aspects of your life in considering what distresses you. By bullying, I mean festive and unprovoked delight in making others suffer. It becomes worse in the form of destructive competition, which is both selfish and dangerous.

and were told it was a jewish stereotype.
Psychometric research has found that Ashkenazi Jews have the highest mean score of any ethnic group on standardized tests of general intelligence, with estimates ranging from 7 to 12 points above the mean IQ of the general European population at 100, which ranges from 107 for Germany to 90 for Croatia according to Richard Lynn's estimates for 2006 . These studies also indicate that this advantage is primarily in verbal and mathematical performance; spatial and visual-perceptual performance is average.

How is South Park making fun of our condition bullying? They make fun of everyone. I just wish they do humor on us. They have already did it to ADD, Tourette'ss and to illnesses like AIDS.
And can we please cut out the NT crap? It's not just NTs who are bullying us, people with other conditions bully too. How do we know who the NTs are? They look just like everyone else. I have been bullied by other kids with disabilities and I have been bullied by other aspies too so that tells me we are just as capable as being mean as they are. Bullying isn't part of anything, it's part of being a human, part of their personality. It's not part of anything, not part of NT, not part of ADD, not part of Tourette's etc. I did not realize this till last fall. I used to think when aspies would be mean to me, it was an NT trait they have, bullying. But no it's them being an asshole.
Instead of saying NT this and NT that, lets say People this and people that.

What's this? You
wish
that someone would bully you? NT bullies are standing by in every part of the world. You fool. You should not
wish
for this, unless masochism compels you.
Lucky that the Wishmaster is only a fictional djinn and not one of the real ones. BTW, actual djinns do not live in ancient relics.
