    Modern society labels personality quirks and non-conformity as Cool and Fun when the person displaying those traits has money and status.

    Hot take: this has nothing to do with modern society. This is a universal in all societies. People naturally praise and admire those with more status, beauty, and resources. If you don’t intrinsically understand this, you are probably on the spectrum. Which, of course you are. You’re on Lemmy.

      Well, yeah. I guess society always has. But you took my use of “modern society” hyperbole as like, today’s modern society when I really meant modern society in the frame of reference of the people experiencing it at any given moment in history.

      Checkmate, lemmy autist. Lol
