Fun fact: there's actually a thing called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, it's usually a symptom of adhd, anxiety and some other forms of neurodivergency/mental illness, of course this is absolutely NOT an excuse and rejecting someone with that symptom does *not* make you ableist at all, but i found the paralell in the thumbnail funny, plus there's nothing wrong with a little bit of educational fun fact-ery i think :]

Fun Fact Number 2 (Electric Boogaloo): The fear of rejection has its own phobia called Anthropophobia (Generally known as the fear of people but it can be narrowed down to the fear of rejection) but that's not an excuse and if you were to reject someone with that phobia, that will *NOT* make you abelist!

[@JuJuGarlin]

Yes, it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation as well, it's not clear whether RSD is a symptom or an effect of people with those conditions being rejected a lot by their peers due to acting outside the norm. It's also not just a fear of rejection, but a whole host of difficulties relating to social relationships.

[@______-hr9bb]

Hello, someone with diagnosed RSD here! It is true what your comment said, at least from my own experience (everyone can have a different experience with it ofc), and my RSD does come from my anxiety disorder, autism and presumably ADHD. Another symptom to RSD is simply being too anxious and afraid to even attempt whatever you're doing, in pure fear of feeling rejection(thought I should mention that). But actually rejecting us is NOT ableist, just like you said. So yeah, the post in the thumbnail was definitely from someone who doesn't have RSD or "rejection phobia", and might just be projecting for some other reason. Anyway, I was gonna comment somewhat the same thing as what you did, but ya beat me to it. Just wanted to let you know that I agree. Have a nice day, original commenter :]

[@catlover7015]

A while ago I saw the full story about the “rejection dysphoria” one (I believe, or it might’ve been another story in the same vein), they knew beforehand that their friend was aromantic, asked them out of nowhere, then publicly ranted *and* purposefully misgendered them. The only phobias here are aphobia and transphobia.

Same honestly. Why buy an overpriced metal circle when you can have a Lifesaver? (I'm joking but I do share that mindset)

[@Lunicia_the_crazy_healer]

This is literally a discussion between me and my partner. We are not married (I was married once) and I don't think we have to, but if he really wants to, I'm open. Now comes the topic of the ring. We sometimes like to joke around about the whole marriage thing and I then say stuff like "well, there is no ring on my finger" or things of that nature and he sometimes gets really serious and assures me that he will buy me a beautiful engagement ring, which I don't doubt. Here is the thing though: I don't want it to be expensive! Why? Because I work a lot with my hands all day I don't want to lose or damage it because of it, but always taking it of and on again seems just annoying. Why have one, and an expensive one at that, if I don't wear it anyway most of the time then? Plus, I would marry him, even of the ring would come out of those old gum machines! But he insists that it needs, at least, to be worth 3 times his salary. I don't really get it.

The "rejecting me is ableist" one is even worse because the friend said they were aromantic, so they literally do not feel romantic attraction, and yet the person basically try to coerce them into getting involved in a romantic relationship anyway. Also, for the last one, I can promise you you do not want to listen to a full lecture of this. My senior year religion teacher was like this *every day* and it was an absolute nightmare to listen to.

The fact that the mom selling her child's birthday presents says "we can’t have him questioning" really scares me. It reminds me of cults and I hope the kid will be able to cut them off and follow his dreams.

[@theuncalledfor]

It _is_ a cult.

[@theuncalledfor]

@~*sugarai*~ That's not the reason why it's a cult. There's an actual definition, certain criteria of how a cult controls people, and a lot of forms of christianity fulfil that definition. I forget what it's called. The specific ones in the video are showing clear signs of a cult. Disallowing scientific study, using severe punishments, etc., that's clear cult behaviour. And it's _sickening._ Okay, looked it up. It's called the BITE model, which stands for Behaviour, Information, Thought, and Emotional control.

[@theindigollama]

[@theveryaveragegamer9865]

[@JKrowlingrockx]

Very likely the “religion” the mom is trying to shove down her child’s throat is probably closer to a cult than your typical organized religion. Bet she also home schools and purposefully tries to avoid teaching “science” that contradicts her world view. Hence why her child wanting to be a scientist is so upsetting for her. It’s much easier to brainwash a kid if he doesn’t know any other alternative. Mom would be trashy for selling his gifts, even without the other terrible parenting decisions.

[@stephasauurus]

Just looked it up and the average engagement ring in the US in 2023 was 5k. You can definitely get a nice one for $750-2k though. Under that would be difficult to find something that would last as long as these rings are meant to. Decent wedding bands are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper and have plenty of great options under $500

[@Kualinar]

She's gonna be a for ever alone female incel.

[@Jackie_XIII]

The worst part about the person who said they had "rejection dysphoria" is not that the friend did not respect their 'condition', it's that they knew their friend was aromantic and didn't respect them. I will say this incredibly loudly and I hope everyone can read it and understand. YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS DO NOT OVERRIDE OR OVERRULE ANYONE ELSE'S! YOUR RIGHTS END WHERE SOMEONE ELSE'S BEGINS! This obviously has certain limitations but should generally be considered true.

[@Jackie_XIII]

Also, and this one comes from experience, if an a-spec person tells you they are aromantic or asexual it is not up to you to invalidate, question, or convince. Yes, a-spec people can, and some do, have partners. That, however, is entirely up to them. Their boundary is not yours to break.

[@Corviidei]

Also also, even if they’re not aromantic or otherwise incompatible, they’re STILL not obligated to like you specifically. You don’t need to justify why you don’t like someone.

[@OzCroc]

You technically could twist what you said and say that the person who rejected them's needs do not overpower the needs of the person who wants a relationship, therefore the person shouldn't have rejected them. I'm not agreeing with them, I'm just saying your logic was kinda dumb.

[@Quirkyalonester]

Except that is not the only person they could have a relationship with. By that logic as well, no one could reject them.

[@kaceydias]

The rejection phobia guy ended up ranting about how aromantics are attention seekers and what-not because he got rejected by one. The person he asked out even said that he knew that they were aro and yet he still made a rant saying they're a bad person for rejecting them. It's quite pathetic honestly.

[@dragonsarebutterflies3663]

I feel really bad for the poor aro there... i think i'm on the aro spectrum too (i'm not quite sure yet) and i think i am simply not able to provide the same feelings someone who is not aro is probably expecting from a relationship. Not that i really WANT a relationship, but i suppose this factor alone would make me say no. They are expecting something this person is not able to give them and would probably be mad even if the aromantic person agreed for the sake of them not getting "rejection disphoria".

It popped up on screen that the ride was cancelled (and yes she was typing on the phone) so he said he would take her to a safe location and she kept asking him to take her to the drop off. He said he couldn't for safety, insurance, and more. She kept asking him to take her to the location still, like 10 miles away, and he said he couldn't. She called her bf and said he was kicking her out on the side of the road. He took her to a well lit and very popular gas station in a very safe area. It was so crazy

[@SockTheUnicorn]

also, the girl who got accused of ableism for rejecting her friend said she was aro, as in aromantic, as in not experiencing romantic attraction (of course there's a spectrum) so, she was in fact the one being invalidated because her friend wasn't respecting her romantic orientation

@Tgram_theclick12 do you really think I'm dumb enough to fall for that?

[@randomhuman_05]

Yeah, that post was odd. Rejecting someone with RSD isn’t ableist… rejecting someone BECAUSE they experience RSD (something super common in ADHD folks) might be in some situations, but this situation certainly wasn’t.

[@kimbap_kidding]

@@randomhuman_05 exactly, it only becomes discriminatory if the person rejecting them does it because of their disorder. Them rejecting a person because they themselves are aromantic is not discriminatory in any way, and actually, the person accusing them of being ableist is more discriminatory because they are completely bypassing a persons identity and pushing their own agenda onto someone who has clearly stated they have no interest (in a super nice way btw, they could have just said "no I'm aro" but they were positive about the accusor's already standing relationship). I am just so baffled because I am convinced that it was by a kid which then makes me wonder... why is a kid in a poly relationship and trying to push another person into it? I don't identify as Poly anymore because of personal things but I would still be open to those types of relationships, however even when I did identify I found no such want to be in that complicated of a relationship when I was younger. This misunderstanding of both mental disorders and also relationships is insane: Poly isn't just a love triangle where one person of the couple decides to add another person (that would be closer to an open relationship if the other two people involved did not have feelings for each other), and Rejection phobia isn't really... a thing? We all fear rejection because it feels awful, RSD is just a whole other level of that but if they aren't calling it by RSD then they either aren't educated, or they are making shit up on the spot.

We are currently in the process of trying to transfer the money from my school lunch account to be used to pay off the lunch debts of kids who have that. It has been a frustrating process. Before anyone asks, no we can not get the money back, and even if we could we'd rather give it to those who need it.

[@DamselOnDrums]

I was a reduced-lunch kid in middle school (4th-8th grade where I grew up). In 4th grade, I was called to the principal's office over the loud speaker. Why? Because I had for gotten the $0.40 for my lunch earlier that week. He lectured me, a 9 year old, for like 10 minutes about it. My mom, who very rarely curses, was so incensed that she drove to the school that afternoon, threw $0.40 at him and said, "here's your fucking lunch money." I never had another issue with my lunch money for the rest of my time in that school. 17* years later, my mom still gets worked up whenever this story comes up.

I found it amusing that he couldn't think of any actual problems with evolution to use as an example. "Well what about this?" "Oh, I never thought of that." If he's really had such conversations, then surely he has examples! While creationist talking points have all been debunked, there are plenty of atheists without biology backgrounds in the world who won't be able to counter every talking point, so he really ought to have a specific example of *someone* he confused, right?

[@Gahahaaa]

@@LadySunami Honestly, I'm not sure whether I care about whether God made the Earth through evolution or in six literal days, because neither option changes who God is; but it's inaccurate to say that all creationist talking points have been debunked. Are a majority of layman creationists irrational about it because they think evolutionism is heresy? Absolutely. But logically speaking, if everything comes from somewhere, there has to eventually be Something that came from nowhere, just as every living thing of its type has to have had a common ancestor. "There was nothing, and then the chaos and void begot something" is the basis for every creation story, even the Big Bang, but without some unbegotten thing to act upon the void and chaos, there is nothing that could cause it to beget. Because of the three main laws of thermodynamics, which state that energy cannot be created and will go wherever it's not, and thus the energy of everything in existence will eventually reach absolute zero, chaos could never beget stable life that would last as long as it has; if life did manage to come from it, it would die in its infancy because the chaos around it would kill it. The fact of the matter is, the laws of physics just don't allow for the Big Bang; but even if they did, the odds of everything landing just so into place as they have are so incredibly low that it just makes more sense for something Else to have guided it all there. Creationists aren't stupid, man. It's just that, without the Big Bang, atheists don't have an answer for where we come from, so they rationalize until they find something that kind if makes sense, even if they know it doesn't really make sense. Smart people do it all the time, because we're the only ones who can. Maybe God triggered the Big Bang and the Cambrian Explosion, or maybe he created the world five seconds ago. Maybe this is all a dream, and we're all God's little OC's in his imaginary world. I don't really care either way, but it's arrogant to say that every creationist talking point has been debunked when evolution without a god takes more blind faith to believe in than the idea of an all-powerful deity being able to speak things of any age into existence out of nothing.

Also, rejection-sensitive dysphoria is not about "you didn't say yes to what I asked you, no matter how reasonable or unreasonable my request was, knowing that saying no would hurt me, and that makes you ableist." Rejection-sensitive dysphoria is actually: Totally innocuous comments can trigger me and that's not your fault. I.e. I got interviewed for a job I wanted and didn't hear back after the interview even though I thought I did well. It's going to take me 2 weeks to recover from this and it will always be a sore spot. It's not their fault for rejecting me and it's not my fault that I'm sensitive to that. I just need to have time to myself to handle all the false narratives my brain will try to feed me about how one single interview going badly means I'm a worthless human who will never amount to anything. I know that isn't true, and one interview going badly is SO NORMAL for EVERYONE and it didn't even go badly, I just wasn't what the company wanted. Rejection sensitive dysphoria in the case stated in the video would look more like "Oh, I really thought we felt the same way about each other and it hurts to know that you don't feel the same way about me. It's 100% your right to be in or not be in a relationship with whomever you want, including me, but I'm going to need a little longer than usual to process this. I might be a little bitter toward you for a lot longer than other people might be and I apologize for that ahead of time. I need some space for me to process this. I know you weren't trying to hurt me, but I do still hurt, so I need time apart before I can decide how I want to move forward with you. I may not ever be able to get over this in which case you may have to move on without me in life. Hell, rejection-sensitive dysphoria isn't always about the "feeling really-extra bad when someone rejects you. I know that for me, my RSD is triggered when people are incredibly nice to me. My parents never took me out for "treats," I got presents, sure, but I rarely got anything "just because" so hearing someone describe something as a "treat" when they give me a present that they got me "just because" might make me cry. And that's just a completely normal way for me to respond. My brain still feeds me lies about how I don't deserve it, but I'm not crying because I'm upset. I'm crying because I'm happy. RSD is NOT about "you can't do that to me because I have RSD." RSD IS about "I may respond in a weird way emotionally to something that wouldn't bother other people. This isn't anyone's fault. My brain just processes things differently. I may need extra time to process my emotional response and the lies my brain will tell me before I can respond appropriately. Give me extra time so I can make an appropriate response." RSD is NOT "I process things differently and that makes my response your problem, you must walk on eggshells around me." RSD IS "I process things differently. I need to learn to step away from situations to moderate and regulate my emotions. No one is entitled to give you a job, date you, or change their behavior around you just because it might trigger your RSD if they do something that trips up that dysphoria in your brain. RSD SUCKS. Really small things get you down. Not immediately succeeding in a new task or hitting a wrong note while singing along to a song alone in your car can feel like the end of the world because you have an irregular emotional response to making mistakes or doing something SOMEONE ELSE might consider a mistake. Hearing a hard truth can feel devastating. Hell, as I said, even having something PLEASANT happen can be overwhelming. But it's not anyone else's job to coddle you or tell you only what you want to hear just so they don't upset you. Someone saying "No I don't want to be in a relationship with you. Sorry." IS NOT THE SAME as someone triggering your RSD on purpose to make you upset. Stop weaponizing a diagnosis (that you're using way too literally which makes me a hair suspicious) to try to guilt people into doing things you want.

I think it also depends on why something is seen as disability. Sometimes(too many times tbh) it's that people just define something as disability because it makes them do extra work or it makes them uncomfortable. So instead of just creating a world where different people with different needs get their needs met, ableist people just throw theiir hands up in the air(or actively work against means of meeting others in the middle) and tell those they see as disabled to do all the work and undergo medical procedures(which might not be safe or effective), etc. just so they don't have to do anything and are comfortable in their existance..

[@foogod4237]

IMHO, _if it is curable,_ then it is not a disability. It is actually just a disease. Blindness can be either one of these things, depending on what is actually _causing_ it. But also, far too many people overcompensate and try to portray being disabled as some sort of "badge of honor" to be defended. Being disabled does not make you less of a person, but it also doesn't make you better than everyone else either. Disabilities _suck._ Most people who have them would much prefer not to, and would happily "cure" them if they could, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling that way. And if these sorts of problems can be treated and made better, we should not be gatekeeping people from being able to do that just because someone else personally thinks that being disabled is somehow "more noble" than being able-bodied, because that's really just complete bullshit.

The whole rejection dysphoria post is so infuriating.

I just appreciate the effort if they choose to! The way this person phrase their response was fine. It was ideal actually! It emphasized that their rejection wasn't because of a dislike of their friend as a person but because of personal aromanticism and how they valued their current friendship. That is literally how I ask people to reject me if they find out about my RSD and ask how not to trigger it. 1) emphasize that you are not rejecting an offer due to a personal problem with me 2) provide a reason for rejection (even if the reason is "I just don't feel like it" because if no reason is given, I will make one up!) They did everything right! This makes me so mad because RSD is a real thing that has inhibited me from reaching my goals. The anxiety around it is so bad that I will straight up not even try things because I'm too scared of rejection. I'll pass up dream job or education opportunities because the potential of getting rejected is worse to me than never trying in the first place. Hell I had multiple sessions with my therapist just about applying to grad schools and how to do it without causing myself multiple mental breakdowns.

[@MirrimBlackfox]

@@tangoseagull4966 Yeah, you have an entire language and culture around being deaf (at least here in the US) and generally speaking being deaf doesn't leave you in constant pain, keep you locked in your house, or make it impossible for you to find work (granted it does probably make it more difficult). The biggest hurdles for you are going to be from other people, not your deafness, it is much different for people whose disabilities are more painful or limiting.

ive never understood the weird wedding rings must be expensive to be of worth thing. I'd be just as happy if i got a ring pop as I would with an actual ring. Honestly I'd be mad if I got a super expensive ring because it would be a waste of money

[@erinyes3943]

Same! I’d feel really guilty about to too, and I’d be terrified I’d lose and never wear it, so what would even be the point

[@maximillian1109]

I think it started as some really clever advertisement by some diamond selling buissnes, actually. Its hilarious people still cling to a bloody ad from the 70s or whatever.xD

[@DerangedDoodler]

Yeah, the only way I would accept an expensive wedding ring is if he had the money which in all honestly, doesn’t matter. Love is love, I don’t need money to be happy. Even if he did have the money, I’d still prefer something simple because money doesn’t symbolize our love.

[@timjackson3954]

Maybe it's a culture thing, but I was brought up thinking wedding rings were meant to be a simple gold band, and it's the engagement ring that has the jewels and the big bill.

I love the "hate dating" idea. "I hate Twitter!" "I hate Twitter too!" "Let's get married and hate Twitter together!" 🤣 Speaking of which: is anyone else getting harrassed for their number by Twitter lately? Every day, the first DM I send, it pops up a window saying "There's been unusual activity on your account and it has therefore been locked. Please give us your phone number to fix it." and when I don't do that but instead use the "back" arrow, everything works fine. Until the first DM the next day... It's like "Groundhog Day" of trying to find out if I got dumb enough to fall for it over night. Yay! 😖

Honestly, if it had been my Dad who was asked the Noah's Ark question, he would have given you a full fledged essay about it, the reasoning behind it, and how there was evidence supporting it. It's kind of amazing how he does it

Now I wanna hear this essay. This sounds interesting

[@Sr.Anonimo-bk1uz]

I may not know your dad or the people protesting, but they may be saying negative things about the people that don't morally agree with them, and may also be saying negative things that should happend to them. Things such as going or rotting in hell, because Jesus forgave our sins, but they keep sinning by wanting babies to not receive the beautiful gift of live, to not have the choice of living it and taking that away. The man holding the sign is what I would like to call a "middle man", both bad at fighting for his beliefs and bad about truly knowing those beliefs, since he doesn't know where they came from, why they are what they are, etc. As for that, you can say he has lived only believing in what others believed and have told him to believe, without question even if there has been previous chances of challenging himself, which would be useless as he has decided to not take them. "The ignorant says, the wise doubts and reflects" (Aristoteles of Estagira, III BC) It's what you could call a "mass man", who follows only the mass and when someone doesn't they don't make sense, but, if they do, then they easily break other's beliefs, since the risk of following dogmas is to getting stuck in them, never allowing change, which is part not only of our human nature, but life as a whole. That's why he's essencially easily breakable with wits. "Knowing is half the battle" (Sun Tzu, V century BC). "If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you will win a hundred battles" (Sun Tzu, V century BC). The interviewer knew himself and his enemy, and thus tested him, and his enemy failed, allowing him to stop asking questions since the man holding the sign couldn't answer and thus ending the battle there in a win, without having to express further attacks or defend possible attacks from his enemy. "War is all about deception" (Sun Tzu, V century BC) Sources (2022. The Click. Rejection = Ableism) (III century BC. Aristóteles from Estagira. About philosophy - Corpus Aristotelicum) (V century BC. Sun Tzu. The Art of War)

I’m aromantic and have been pressured by ”friends” trying to get into a relationship with me before. It’s deeply unsettling when they keep pushing and you feel terrible for rejecting them. The person who used their own issues surrounding rejection as an excuse to push boundaries of someone clearly uninterested has no respect from me.

One of the fun parts about the Pink Floyd rainbow outrange is that Dark Side of the Moon had a rainbow on it as the front cover represents light splitting when directed through a prism. That album, with the original prism and rainbow showing the light spectrum, was released in '73 (hence the 50 year anniversary). The rainbow flag's first iteration was designed and used for Pride in 1978, literally 5 years later.

(36:20) Being a housewife isn't useless, and having a man or woman who works for an income, and then a housewife or househusband(?) who does all the housework such as cleaning, gardening, cooking, that can also be respected. But her attitude is very toxic. That she sees herself as the leisure, that she's worth everything for her husband, but he isn't worth anything to her, and that she's willing to change husband so quickly. Very toxic. You can still be in a healthy, consenting, equal relationship where the man works for income and the woman is a housewife. But she can't with that attitude.

As someone with rejection dysphoria, I am not sure if the comic of the person getting mad at their friend for rejecting them and saying “you knew I have rejection dysphoria and you still hurt me”was made by a kid or just a young teen, but that person needs to grow up. Because yeah rejection dysphoria is a bitch and a half, BUT ITS NOT A LICENSE TO GET YOUR WAY!! A hard truth is that a lot of how much better or worse dealing with your rejection dysphoria gets is dependent on you, having a support system makes all the difference but it is not their job to emotionally put you first at all times.
