Can the least autistic and most autistic users of this site please tell me what I'm supposed to feel when my sister messages me this?
I'm assuming it's purple shirt guy.
Edit:
send a pic of a dog drinking out of the toilet and be like "this is u & ur media choices"
Same answer but instead of dog it's pigpoopballs
idk if it helps but the new version of the show is called "wear whatever the F you want", and it seems to be more about helping people realize and embrace a personal style, rather than making fun of the way they dress.
in the trailer they help the purple shirt guy embrace the punk-rock vibe he's always wanted
Damn, maybe that is me.
for what it's worth he comes across as a very sweet and endearing character
This seems like the best outcome.
Aw that's a nice change of pace from the usual "Let me help you conform you weirdo dipshit" format.
This sounds pretty cool. I would love a fashiony friend who could help me look like Me But Cooler.
I came to complain how dumb these shows are for laughing at what people wear, but now it sounds pretty wholesome
An endearing ribbing.
fashion is just capitalism and social hierarchy worn on the body
Currently, yeah mostly, but not in our Communist future. Fashion is an excellent mode of self expression that won't go away when capitalism does
If you have a good relationship with her then I guess it's just her poking fun at you, but also giving a not too subtle hint maybe you wear clothes too tight or "unprofessional?"
Although lady in the middle is wearing my grandmother's table cloth so.... Who knows lol
Dunno, try replying "your mum is literally you" to hide your confusion.
Apparently, racing stripes are in this season.
Is that Clinton? Or a 2007 Mustang? Hard to tell from here.
I'm more autistic than not (got that ADHD overlap) and I always assume if someone sees anything and thinks about me, it's a good thing, because they thought about me enough to tell me, which is normally not something you do if you thought of someone and didn't like it.
Tell her autism is genetic and her special interest is fashion
I think there's some important context that is needed here:
A) does the purple shirt guy look like you? All you can tell about his clothing is he's wearing an untucked t-shirt. Do you have long hair you wear in a part, a big beard and thick rimmed glasses? If so maybe the fact this is a fashion show is unrelated and she just saw someone who reminded her of you and this is a nice message.
B) if not, do you regularly tease each other? If so this is also a nice message where she's teasing you about still grooming like a 00s hipster.
C) if neither of the above, then it's B but it's no longer a nice message and you should respond like @came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net suggested
I have long hair and I have a denim jacket with metal/punk patches and I do wear generally colourful clothes and t-shirts and stuff.
We see and talk pretty regularly. She definitely doesn't hate me, but also since she didn't elaborate beyond this or say "he's into metal/punk" or anything it's weird to just say this and then not elaborate.
She also calls implies I'm overweight it sometimes and it annoys me, which I feel like is maybe part of this but IDK. She also generally does that thing of totally stonewalling me/family if anything stressful comes up so if I ask I have a feeling she'd just ignore it.
They tried their best with me, sticking to the look though 😤
hey look at this guy he's you
I need to clarify I'm trying to be insulting towards you
I'm pointing out a thing that's bad
maybe I win most autistic but I would just ghost her
Do you just regularly insult each other or is this a one way street? If you did that to her would it start a fight? If you take offense to her doing it to you does it start a fight? Are you wrong either way?
Maybe I'm projecting here but all I would want would be to distance myself from this. But then again I had one of my parents tell me to my face they were consciously and deliberately abusive and this just kinda reminds me of the tone of the free shots they would take at me.
It’s a joke on that you wear what not to wear. It’s in good fun.
But also maybe watch. Fashion can be hella interesting.
I think it's fairly confusing as it is, so asking "wait what?" or "haha wdym" invites them to clarify their intention, without sounding like you're interrogating them.
But I'm autistic who's pretty good at masking and has issues with other people's perception of me, so take it with a grain of salt.
If going for the masky route I'd definitely lean towards "haha wdym" as a much safer option than "wait what?" — it's got polite laughter and some texting slang to convey informality.
Ideally one shouldn't have to mask with siblings though, so the more honest route is probably just saying something like "I'm not sure how to interpret this (I am autism baby)"
How'd he end the show looking?
I mean, it's kinda missing the point. I wear my punk ass shit in the fall and winter, and my colorful t-shirts and shorts in the spring and summer.
My sibling does this kind of stuff to me too, most I give is an "I see"
damn if that was literally me I'd be happy to still have all my hair
wtf are stacy london and clinton kelly still doing what not to wear
Tbh I literally could not figure out which one was supposed to be you in the preview pic. I don't know how autistic this makes me.
She's telling you that your graphic tees are bad, and she's right. Graphic tees are always bad, even when they are good.
