My point was that people who make rape jokes as young adults stops with it when they realize that other people gets disturbed by them. An autistic person who never made rape jokes isn't a counter example for anything, and that autistic person saying that other autistic people should just naturally understand that rape jokes are bad doesn't prove anything either.

>An autistic that never made rape jokes isn't...

Seems like you're referring to me here, and again, are making unsubstantiated assumptions. Is that a hobby of yours?

I've told this particular joke, and didn't find it problematic in the past. I learned.

See, it doesn't have to do with social aweareness. After thinking about it, I figured it's bad to think that way (as explained above).

>other autistic people should just naturally understand that rape jokes are bad

Never said that. Please don't lie.

>doesn't prove anything either.

Your claim that autistic people are more likely to make that joke because of their autism is

1) incorrect, as proven at least by this counterexample, plus the analysis above, and observation that autistic women aren't seen telling rape jokes at the same rate as all men;

2) offensive to autistic people, by implying that figuring this out is a-priori beyond their reach;

3) not a claim you are qualified to make.

Please stop.

Autism doesn't make people douchebags, making rape jokes does.
