I'm Not Sure Exactly How To Put This But I Think The Obsession In The General Population With "spotting

I'm not sure exactly how to put this but I think the obsession in the general population with "spotting narcissists/sociopaths" and with assigning all abusers and otherwise awful people the label of N/ASPD comes from a place of trying to ignore that evil is something humans choose to do. There's already the obvious issue with acting as if any set of people is inherently bound to mistreat others, but I'm talking about the function it serves people when they make this assumption.

When you assume that there's a group of people who are innately evil because you consider them to be lacking some emotional or moral part that you consider inherent to the human experience, you're creating this group of people who you can view as inhuman. You can ascribe the worst evils in the world to them, because who else would do such things? Surely someone with human feeling wouldn't. You don't have to worry about the morality of yourself, then, because you're human, you're not ~missing something~ inside. You don't have to worry about the morality of your friends because you've seen their humanity, too. In reality abuse is a choice—not only is abuse something that N/ASPDs can choose not to commit, it's something that non-N/ASPDs can choose to commit. And by insisting that evil = N/ASPD and that N/ASPD = evil, people are absolving themselves and those they support of whatever they've done to hurt others, because they're Not Like That.

"Don't use your autism / disability / mental illness as an excuse" is supposed to refer to people who use their condition as a shield for abusive behavior. It's not a sentence you say in response to every single thing a disabled, autistic, or mentally ill person does that is annoying or inconveniencing to you.

Listen I Do Not Mean This In A Furry Way At All And I Know The Actual Tread Of This Would Be Ass But

listen i do not mean this in a furry way at all and i know the actual tread of this would be ass but let me say. i would very much like it if there were boots that made animal tracks instead of boot tracks. i just think thatd be neat
