  • Someone made a very conscious choice to create a community explicitly based on hate. I am a disabled person who has been abused because of the hate that is welcomed on that community. I wish not to be abused by hateful people in the future.

    And you believe I am the one who longs for conflict.

    Holy victim blaming, batman. You are an absurd caricature of a conservative. The mind boggles as it attempts to comprehend the fact that someone who thinks like you exists. I hope you are either educated, or never allowed into a neurodivergent space again.


  • the very nature of narcissism generally causes harm to those around them

    No, it doesn’t. The very nature of narcissism causes narcissists to be more vulnerable to social harm. Some narcissists choose to respond to perceived violence with violence in kind, but this choice is not a symptom of the disorder and wouldn’t exist if NPD were properly accommodated.

    Besides it says fuck narcissism not fuck narcissists so you don’t even know if they are referring to the people or just narcissism in general.

    Ah, so you’d be equally okay with a community called Fuck Autism? Because that seems to be the level of ableist hate you’re operating on.


  • I think the caveat “Child abuse causes NPD if genetic and neurological factors align” to be obvious and irrelevant. Of course child abuse results in different presentations depending on the individual child, that’s why there are 10 personality disorders instead of 1. But I don’t think the fact that I happened to have the genetics that make me respond to abuse with grandiosity instead of with antisocial behaviour is interesting or important. The mechanism I have described holds true for people of my genetic and neurological mechanisms, and it is easy enough to understand without overcomplicating it.

    The only reason I can see that someone would pay attention to the genetic component of NPD in a sociological or political discussion is if they wanted to make the argument that narcissism is racial.
