What do you call someone who isn't a racist, xenophobic, or authoritarian, they just want to see Germany get back on her economic feet and get back a sense of pride again?
Oh yeah, Nazis.
The distinction between the charismatic bigot and the useful idiot has always been irrelevant.

They're probably wondering what I wonder: how do I make visible a disability that is activated by being observed? Accommodation is easy for those with canes, wheels, hand signals, etc... empathy is easy. But what if you can't see the need for accommodation because I can't show you the disability?

Anyway, I guess I say all that not to excuse myself, but to explain. I can do better, and sometimes get it right. I'll keep trying, but it's an honest to godz disability, there's only so much I can do without accommodation. I don't think I'm the only one, I think a quote talker is reading this

all listeners have about me, based on my appearance. I forget what you're seeing. I forget I'm the bear in the room. I forget I put you on the defensive if I don't smile harder, laugh often, and shrink. I'm weird and scary for reasons that aren't about me, but expectations of me.

But I never got good at the talking. I collect quotes still, my lingo is often surprisingly relevant. I can work a room, be charming and fun. I can repeat facts like a pro. But i can't say what i feel. It comes out without the proper affect that expresses the context that overcomes the assumptions

Very human like, but "wrong" in some way nobody could quite put their finger on. It was easy to leave me behind. It was easy to be cruel about it. I had it coming, they'd say. I learned to serve, as quietly as I could. It was harder to leave the useful, even if they are unrepentant in their oddness.

Of course, this would all fall apart if anybody asked me something I didn't have a quote for. I couldn't get what I needed, because i didn't have that quote. Eventually, it harmed me, so I started learning how to not parrot, but construct. I was so bad at it. I lived squarely in the uncanny valley

approximate a conversation, with many guaranteed approval noises due to the professional nature of the source material. I've forgotten many of those sources, but occasionally I'll watch an old show or movie and catch one or many of them.

I learned it consciously, like a math or science. While I read like a vacuum, it didn't translate well into speech. People don't talk like that. TV became the source material I trained on. Most everything i said was a quote. Even the boring stuff. With an extensive library of responses, I could

Yes, I agree.
Sorry, twas the 'tism. I'm bad at this on a good day, worse when I'm excited. These things I made are really exciting to me.

It's not a larp. It's support tool for larps, so developers aren't thusly burdened, and can spend more time on on the fun stuff and less time doing, well all that stuff that was listed.

Using 'larp' as a pejorative is bigoted abelist nonsense.
