I think season 4 is my favourite, I feel like it rapidly declines from there though

Same feelings as I have about the T slur for trans people if I'm being honest, sorry. Basically I dont want to hear it, it hurts, but I dont begrudge people using it on themselves I guess

i do not like autist as ive only ever heard it used as a slur at me and others. the matter is far from settled and there is no "preferred nomenclature." you're supposed to ask people individually, which is great unless you're in a group - i think maybe "autistic" is fine, like "autistic people" but that's just my preference. if someone opened with "autists" i would absolutely tense up and probably not engage with what they were saying
