I was in an incident, which I explained elsewhere, that led to people complaining about me in YTPB and by extension in Ask Lemmy. Then, when sharing my perspective, I was asked by those to whom I shared it to share it in YPTB only for those in charge there to give what amounts to a signal of not caring about said perspective, just the one that is there. So I’m going to share it here instead.
Who ever said I thought people were intellectually inferior to me? Like who? I’m the last person to do that (heck I cheated my way out of my high school finals), I’m just saying people shouldn’t give up once something gets too elaborate. That and maybe work with me when I try to negotiate or work my way to a resolution. You know, as opposed to giving nothing more than a thumbs down to questions that try to address the thing people are stumped by.
When you say “that does not endear you to anyone”, a thought that comes to mind is the possibility of how many people are judging a book by its cover, and/or thinking they can read between the lines when whatever is between them is all in their head. Especially in a world where people complain of culture shock, it’s kind of inconsiderate in its own way.
I get you may be neurodivergant, though I have no idea how/why or to what degree, but what normally happens here is that people ‘read between the lines’. I’m not certain reading between the lines i necessary here because you have been pretty blatant.
You’re basically saying the community is pretending to be intelligent by latching onto certain media. You also say, very clearly, that the community is incapable or parsing that medias content.
Intentional or not your message is clear; you believe the community are less intelligent than you, aren’t “true” fans of the media, and couldn’t understand that media even if they were fans.
That could be true, you might be the smartest person in the room, though I have my doubts.
I have the pleasure of being friends with several individuals who are at least one deviation above myself on the intelligence scale and they communicate differently, but that doesn’t mean your communication style is good, or that people will be receptive to your attitude.
