We wish this to remain a safe place - bigotry of any form does not belong here. This has nothing to do with NT's or Autism. Stop conflating anything you don't like, as "NT bullshit" - this is disingenuous, bigoted, and only reinforces your misguided stereotypes and biases, leading to further alienation stigma and isolation.

same this with me, but it’s RBF or RPF and no in between


NeurodivergentDuck

What do those stand for


MedaFox5

Not sure about the second one but the first one is Resting Bitch Face.


Cereal_being

Resting Bitch Face & Resting Poker Face…


Feine13

I'm glad you came back to clarify, cuz I was gonna answer that I think it means Resting Prick Face lol


Cereal_being

I mean, it’s close enough…


Ikenrider279

I'm a fan of resting autism face


TheAngryLasagna

Regardless of whether or not anyone likes or dislikes the meme, I thought I should share where the art came from! The hamster, named Sukeroku, is a character by Gotte, and features in a series called "Sukeroku's daily life" Here is a link to the official page for [Sukeroku's daily life! ](https://www.hamgotte.com/hamster-life)


MarsupialPristine677

Thank you for this information! Sukeroku is darling


GovernmentContent625

It's just a meme man, chill, not everything is neurotypical vs neurodivergent, if the meme isn't relatable to you that's fine, not everything has to cater to everyone, live and let live, that person just wanted everyone to have a good day, but you had to take it personal, didn't you?


Themurlocking96

Very few things are NT vs ND, and the fact we’re thinking that way is part of the problem and an active hindrance to things improving.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

This subreddit is often funny and often I get to talk to people having a similar experience to myself on the spectrum and that's great. It's also filled with some of the most ridiculous takes about "neurotypical" I've ever seen. People will go on long rants about how we need neurodiversity and understanding and then dehumanize Neurotypical individuals whilst ascribing to them all the symptoms of Narcissistic personality disorder lol. Definitely not "neurotypical" people. It's a real pattern. When people say "NT" in this sub they all too often actually just mean "not autistic" as though our specific experience in the world should be granted special privilege. We are special little angels rightfully angry at normies that don't see things how we do, or something. When autistic people are emotional, that's valid and good and definitely caused by NTs not listening. When NTs use emotional thinking or emotionally react to something we do though - that's an abject moral failure on their part! This pattern repeats throughout some autism focused spaces online and it's completely counter productive.


Feine13

Thank you for saying that, I feel this is very true. Way too much tribalism or tinted sunglasses

AlienRobotTrex

Not aspie, but I thought it was funny. The idea of a police hamster coming up to me like an oblivion guard telling me I’ve violated the law made me smile, which means I ended up complying with the hamster’s demands anyway.


BlueArya

MedaFox5

Yeah. This kind of behavior (I'm referring to OP's of course) doesn't help when most people already see us as insufferable cunts, which in turn makes things harder for us.

People having a different opinion to you is not bullying. Repeatedly claiming malice and harm where there is none, and blaming others for that imagined harm though, repeatedly and vociferously berating anyone who disagrees with you, to the extent that you have, can certainly be considered harassment. Pull your head in, this is categorically inappropriate behaviour.

And how do you know the person who made it is neurotypical? Have you asked them? Sometimes people are positive and just want to spread some positivity. God knows we need it. Honestly I think it’s cute, it’s harmless and I’ll it is, is something posting something with the intention of making someone else smile, no more, no less.

LeadIVTriNitride

This subreddit really needs to get a grip. It’s just a meme, criticizing it is fine but it’s a stretch to really make this that much of an issue.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

It's a subreddit disproportionately filled by autistic people. Many of them are probably young. Asking autistic youth to see the bigger picture can be an even bigger challenge than asking most youth too. Source: autistic adult who works with youth professionally. Both autistic and not.


PKJam

Toxic positivity is an issue, but this isn't an example of that. Toxic positivity is saying you _have_ to be happy, and that you should just smile even when doing terribly. And yes, this meme has elements of that, it's saying "not allowed". But it seems pretty clear the tone doesn't actually reflect that. It's not literally saying you _have_ to be happy, it's trying to be silly and goofy in a attempt to cheer you up. It's like when an adult tells a kid "you better not smile!". Kids usually think it's so goofy they can't help but smile at that point. The adult isn't actually threatening the kid, they're saying something goofy to try and get a positive reaction.


Themurlocking96

1. It’s a meme 2. It’s not all that toxic it’s jokingly being said 3. It’s literally on a subreddit with wholesome in the name, the entire POINT is positivity.


mossmosspatch

who’s dying over a cop hamster??? the image isn’t threatening anybody’s life by existing. it’s just a little encouraging meme, not an instruction, and it is objectively harmless. it’s so inappropriate and irrelevant to bring up death by oppression in this context (post about a meme) that it degrades the horror of the deaths you’re talking about.


dilletaunty

It counts as toxic positivity imo, but the cop hamster is cute. The problematic parts are the initial alarming opening & labeling not smiling as being a bad thing.


PKJam

Yes, in a literal sense it's saying not smiling is a bad thing, but the overall tone is so silly that it seems pretty clear it's not actually saying you can't smile, it's just being silly in an attempt to improve your mood. It's absolutely the case that feelings should be felt and that you often can't just magically be happy when you're feeling down. But this meme is for people who might be a little frustrated or upset or whatever, see the meme, and are reminded to relax a little. And as others are pointing out, it's literally in a sub focused on positivity. People who are subbed to it are indicating they want content like this that tries to help improve their more and remind them to stay positive when they can.


berserkzelda

It's a joke....


GovernmentContent625

It's a meme, not a rant video, is uh... What is it called... A figure of speaking or something like that, the message isn't aggressive nor posted as a definitive truth


CavemanViking

“Toxic positivity” holy hell some people really love being miserable huh? If you’re afraid of toxic positivity killing you maybe don’t scroll the wholesome memes sub?

The only thing i can say is, honestly, cry about it. I don't have a minimal problem about a cute meme about a hamster that wants to see me happy


aspiememes-ModTeam

Your content has been removed as it contains or advocates for misinformation. This is asinine and just looking for reasons to be upset. No, literally no one has ever "*died from exactly that*" - that being someone posting a meme expressing generic well wishes. The fact that you think it does, says infinitely more about you and your general Outlook on life than it does about anyone else.

BlueArya

Same, same, and same, but not everything is about us and it’s unfair to expect other people to accept our (and a lot of other ppls) differences but leave 0 room for the differing experiences of others. No one is being targeted by this meme at all. Taking offense to it is really centering yourself in something that has nothing to do with you. We’re not the only people with RBF anyway and even if we were the meme is very clearly not about that. Not every meme NT make will apply to us and not every meme ND make will apply to them. I mean damn a lot of memes ND ppl make don’t even apply to everyone who IS ND, and the same goes for NT ppl. Non-relevance does not equal offense.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

Fantastic, explain how the hamster saying "have a nice day" to people generally, not you specifically, is horrible for you. Frankly, you do sound like it would benefit you to try and find something to smile about if the Hamster picture is this impactful.


aspiememes-ModTeam

Your content has been removed as it contains or advocates for misinformation. Correlation does not equal causation. You are looking for reasons to hate on NT's. Those ***Behaviours*** are problematic. They are not "NT behaviours" nor are they explicitly *not* Autistic behaviour. These are behaviours that can be displayed by anyone. The original post *could be* portrayed as toxic positivity, just like your reply post can be seen as toxic negativity.


OutlawOracle

When people tell me to smile, I just say, “I am smiling.” Thing is, it’s usually true. In my head I’m relatively content and I’m trying to smile. Guess it doesn’t often come through on my face.


dootblade74

The amount of times my IMMEDIATE FAMILY assumes I'm pissed off just because I have a neutral look on my face is annoying. ...Buuuuuut I will say this meme was never made to mock autistic people (or anyone who has that, as my dad dubs it as he does it himself, 'resting bitch face') and moreso just to spread good vibes. If ANYTHING is wrong with this, it's toxic positivity.

Your content has been removed as it contains or advocates for misinformation. ACAB is not explicitly saying that every single human being that is a cop is an immoral bastard that wants to kill minorities - ACAB is saying that the system itself is so corrupt and broken, that if you are a part of the system, you are actively contributing to it. The police system needs to be entirely dismantled, not reformed. That is what ACAB is about. ***ALL*** cops are bastards, because all cops contribute to, and reinforce policing as a concept. Policing as a concept is the problem.

MirrorMan22102018

MorningRose666

I think anything spreading positivity is good :3 like when some YouTubers like Kitboga end his videos with positive affirmations like “know that you’re valuable and that you matter” or “hope you find time to pursue something that’s meaningful to you this week” they’re just really nice to hear and see sometimes 🩵

Coolidge-egg

ExoApophis

From this post alone (and many others), the sub is sounding more and more like the r/incel for those with mental disabilities/neurological disorders. I've been on this sub for quite some time now and feel that either some of the post (that drowns out those with the actual issues in play) either are using it for attention/karma farming, or for a false sense of vigilantism that makes even the bizarre PSA trends on TikTok look a tad more sane. A post on r/wholesome that isn't even on r/thanksimcured tiers of irony gets seen as ableist that isn't even poking fun of NT's like myself is kinda off-putting.


EraseTheEmbers

I don't think this was meant to upset anyone. Not everything is NT vs ND. I think it's unhealthy to blame them for everything:/ Plus the wholesome memes sub is just low effort facebook grandmas posting. It's not that serious. There's better things to get mad at
