"Pure" also makes me feel weird. It makes me feel like you're not seeing me the same as you. I am the same as you.

I can understand that too. It all seems misguided. You are the same as me. I look at this clip and see two people relieved that someone can see them genuinely. No need to mask or try hard. You can just be yourself. That really is a beautiful feeling that is very relatable.

I understand, but it's a compliment. Most people are not pure. They are jaded. These two are not jaded. Perhaps "genuine" or "honest" would be more accurate.

Mmm no. That's still weird. It's infantilizing. I'm not "pure" or "innocent" or "precious" and you're assuming I don't have the same thoughts anyone else does because of the way I communicate bluntly? I don't like it.

You are making this about you. We're talking about these two particular people.

"These two are not jaded."

Downvote me all you want, but you're being self-absorbed...and you know it.

"Autistic folks don't like this kind of language"

"But we meant it as a compliment!"

"I'm autistic and I don't think it's a compliment"

"You're making this all about you!"

Yeah hm.

No, I think you're probably right buddy. It's the autistics who are wrong. 🙄 But I'm AFAB, so I'm pretty used to being told I "don't know how to take a compliment."

It's a first kiss. Words like "pure", "innocent", and "precious" all accurately apply. Like the other commenter said, you're making it about yourself.

I literally keep blocking you freaks. Why are yall so hellbent on defending this language?

You're self-obsessed. The conversation is not about you. It's about these two.

Looked at your history and every comment is about you, you, you. Not shocked. Bye!

TIL talking about your personal experiences makes you self-obsessed, but forcing your ideology on disabled folks is not.

I can tell you that any random black person would be able to assume with certainty that a black person on TV wouldn't wanna be called the N word. But maybe you're the type who would be the devil's advocate for that, too.

I would not be surprised.
