Why autists?

[Ramborambo]

Why do we make fun of autists and spergs so much?
Why don't we make fun of other breeds of retard more often, like down syndrome?
Ever meet a downer? They're both hilarious and terrifying.

Downers are too stupid to make fun at. Autists are funny when they get angry and self conscious.

Downies don't live on the Internet like autists do.

Downies can be funny for a bit but then they just get boring. There’s only so much you can milk from someone who has an extraordinarily low IQ. Plus they’re literally too retarded to use the internet. Autists on the other hand often have superiority complexes and very strong opinions. So they can have major meltdowns over the smallest of things. They’re also frequently incapable of recognizing sarcasm which can be lulzy.

I have a cousin who's a certified sperg I often laugh at him, I have a downy fren I often laugh with him. In my experience downies have more self awareness than spergs and a joke only half the people get is twice as funny.

Because autism is a "disability" while downs syndrome is a disability. I strongly suspect a LOT of the autists out there are just very badly socialized and their parents were lazy idiots who didn't teach them how to act like normal people. Couple that with the bizarre talent autistic people have for getting into truly degenerate shit online, then screeching when someone says something they don't like, recipe for comedy gold as others have pointed out.

Downs can be pretty funny though. I laughed at this for 10 minutes straight the first time I saw it:

I'll agree with this.

Low IQ tards are generally pretty innocent. When they act like a tard, hey, that's just what you expect.
Spergs that catch the beady eye of the kiwi, on the other hand tend to be just competent enough and have enough hubris to invite the mockery they receive. They generally could be behaving better if they'd just shut up about their degenerate interests and get even a modicum of social-awareness. They demand respect they don't deserve so they feel like fair game. It's the combination of selfishness and lack of social self-awareness that makes them unsympathetic victims.
