Let me begin by saying that recently I had joined a dating advice forum. I found a link to a site called "Way Too Personal", on which a woman publicly humiliates people’s responses to her dating ad with her boyfriend. She calls these people "freaks" and "losers". Some of the responses aren’t even that perverted. She calls it a "humor website".
I posted to the forum about it and found out the website was actually run by a moderator. I politely suggested that she simply either ignore the responses to her ad or try to help them directly, instead of humiliating them on a website. I told them both that I had Asperger’s Syndrome in response to one website insult, "geeky pathetic loser" (after all, it was a dating advice forum and I wanted consolation) and also that I was sexually deviant. I asked them why they hated certain people so much. Although I remained very polite during the discussion, I didn’t get the help I wanted. Instead, they teamed up on me, cursed at me, called me names, and made fun of my disability.
A few months later, I posted again, this time to begin a thread about sexual intolerance. I began by mentioning that there are many kinds of sexual deviance, even apologized for the way I came across the first time, and at the end, I basically asked: "Where do you draw the line, and why?" I didn’t get a single polite response. They all teamed up on me again and accused me of trolling. Almost immediately a moderator called me psychotic (which I happen to be) and banned me. They then proceeded to make fun of Asperger’s Syndrome.
I can’t help but feel that what they did is part of human nature, and therefore, my feelings are very hurt. I’ve never felt so hated by people as when I admitted I was sexually deviant. It’s not like I hurt anyone. I don’t even make any sexual advances. I’m just ridiculed for being "creepy".
I’ve never had a girlfriend, so I don’t know why, but it seems that society has a vicious double standard about all personality differences as compared to sexual deviance. It’s okay if you’re black, or Muslim, or even homosexual, but it’s not okay if you have any other kind of sexual deviance -- it’s just "too weird". That makes me angry, for one simple reason: we obviously haven’t learned anything since we discriminated against other minorities. I say we’re still just as prejudiced as we used to be. Yesterday it was blacks; today, it’s sexual deviance. No difference. We’re just too selfish to consider the feelings of anyone who doesn’t belong to our little circle of "normal". Thus, the cruelty of nature.
That's it.
