    That’s because the origin isn’t “autistic screeching”. It’s the screaming frog. The connection to “autistic screeching” was a later misassociation popularized on Reddit.

    People should be encouraging each other to be better people, but jumping down a randoms throat in self-righteous vigor is fucked up.

        I wasn’t talking about you with my comment about jumping down each others throat.

        A lot of people have no clue that the origin is “autistic screeching.”

        This is just objectively wrong, and thus it’s not likely that this is the reason it means anything.

        My only point was that interpretations vary, so getting bent out of shape and acting like your interpretation is the only interpretation is a shittt thing to do.
