Hi, I’m Abel, an autistic trans brazilian compsci student.

Hobbies: TTRPGs, board games, literature, AI artwork.

I do not argue with someone making deliberate bad faith arguments. There is nothing we can accomplish that’s positive.

  • Honestly I still discuss online but it’s very rare. Mostly with teenagers since they are usually more open.

    There is a problem of even where to confront with reason. Most of the time you hinder more than you help on mainstream social media, because more comments on a post will boost it on the algorithm and distribute the original poster’s message further while they remain wilfully ignorant.

    I did that for years. Many years. It burned me out and made me much more of a thin-skinned and intolerant person with those around me in real life.

    I love places where they willingly come to redeem themselves (like r/IncelExit) but otherwise I just stray very, very far. It took a heavy toll on my mind.

    It is a noble thing but one that shouldn’t be required of most users.
