Today I was learned that using the term "hugbox" is a derogatory term against autistic people, even if you use it in a context that has literally nothing to do with autism.

I love the internet...

Someone referred me to join Sapphire [lol] and I declined citing that I wasn't interested in a "tumblr hugbox" but now I'm the bad guy because it's a slur against autistic people.

I ran afoul of this a while ago on here when talking to verbatim iirc, kinda blindsided me too and after a brief bit of digging it wasn't a claimed word or something but yup, straight up made to taunt people with autism. Kinda shitty because it's a good word for tumblr but eh, Echo Chamber fills the same void and I swear to god if that's been made up to taunt the deaf I might hit someone <_<

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
...the fuck is a hugbox?

In both the intended term and this perceived offensive one.

an invention made by temple grandin (famous autistic inventor & author) to help comfort autistic people by squeezing them

it's supposed to emulate a warm embrace, i think

offensive one is self-explanatory

It's that thing where you get in a box with four midgets and cuddle for 30 minutes.
