So there was this news item where this guy's dog died from bone splinters from being given a bone, and the guy is suing the company because of it. Which is utterly stupid, because DUH, don't you know that's exactly why you DON'T give dogs real bones? Bones splinter, that's what they do; unless you've boiled the bone until it's like a limp noodle, it is going to splinter. This guy is suing this company for something that wasn't their fault. Dogs should not be given bones, but if customers demand them, someone is going to sell them. He should sue himself for giving his damn dog a fucking bone. I don't even like dogs, and even I know you're not supposed to give them bones. What a bonehead!

Then he's like "they have no compassion, no morals, they only care about money" and I'm like, "Dude, you just defined corporations. And capitalism."

So a 15 year old autistic girl who hadn’t eaten before the an airline flight was denied food by the stewardess, even after it was explained to her that if the girl didn’t get food, she would probably have a meltdown, and understandably had a meltdown. She was given food, for which the parents paid, and that should have been that. But the idiotic pilot got "uncomfortable” with this situation and - after it was over - declared an emergency landing because “someone on board has a behavior problem.” My response: "Yeah, asshole, someone had a behavior problem; it was YOU.”

If someone with autism has a meltdown, it is because somebody has fucked up. Meltdowns mean something is very wrong. You see, autistic people feel things more intensely than others, so I’m sure the sensation of being hungry felt painful to her, or uncomfortable enough to get the same response. Then add to it some allistic asshole refusing to get her what she needs, and it’s no fucking wonder she had a meltdown. And then the gaping asshole calling itself the pilot WAY overreacted. There was absolutely no reason to make an emergency landing.

See, it’s shit like this that are the result of the ableist bullshit in the media wherein violent shooters are explained away with bullshit like “ermagerd, he had autism!!11!!” Fucking pilot probably believed that bullshit and thought she was going to burst in like a demon on crack and rip his throat out with her teeth. FUCK ableism. FUCK dehumanization/demonization of autistic people and mentally ill people in general. TO HELL with that bullshit.

May that pilot’s genitals be eaten away by flesh-eating bacteria.
