Autistic rant //
I'm legitimately infuriated by ppl who call any interest they have a "hyperfixation"
The word has lost all meaning because y'all keep using it for stuff that you just enjoy.
When does it start being a hyperfixation and stop being a normal interest.
I like a lot of things but I very rarely say I'm hyperfixated on them. Cuz I'm not, I just enjoy and consume media of that thing.
Hyperfixations are HYPER the whole point is that they are too much???
I'll be real I'm more frustrated by this because for me hyperfixations suck ass.
They take over my life and my thoughts for an amount of time that is awful.
It stops me from doing anything that I need to do without considerable push back.
I can very clearly point out the difference between a hyperfixation and a normal interest for myself.
But so many autistic people online just call anything they have an interest in a hyperfixation even if it's just not.
Ppl don't understand why I avoid movies and shows, ppl don't understand why I sound upset when faced with probability of developing a new hyperfixation, they don't understand because hyperfixation is an overused and misused word. It's more often portrayed in a positive light too.
It's nice that ppl have hyperfixations that are not shitty, but I seriously find the watering down of the term as a result of some y'all not seeing the difference between just liking something and being hyperfixated, annoying af.
I feel that those who experience hyperfixations that negatively affect them are ignored or even talked down too often.
(In my own experience)
As if our different experience jeopardizes your positive one.
Ultimately I can't change how people use a word.
You can overuse and misuse it all you want.
I just wanna express how annoyed I am by it tbh. I do feel it causes harm, but I doubt people would agree with that.
Anyways, a bitter autistic rant over.
Please remember not to box what does and doesn't qualify as a hyperfixation.
It is ultimately different for everyone. Adding criteria for what makes something a hyperfixation will ultimately just cause discourse and hurt those who simply do not have negative hyperfixations.
Can some y'all stop giving minors who draw suggestive art tons of likes and followers for said art?
And can ppl who also draw suggestive art stop endorsing the behavior?
Some y'all talk big words about kids being groomed n shit but are encouraging behaviors that get kids groomed.

my style is all over the place atm- idc tbh tho but yeah drew this while on break. by break i mean i was getting tired of editing oop
❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️
Im bored so let's do something artists,
What is a drawing you think you're iconic for? and let people reply to you what drawing they think you are iconic for
Positive hyperfixations exist and that's okay- negative ones exist too. The qualifications for one aren't always negative
I understand being a lil sour that some get positive ones while you get a negative but that doesn't mean that their positive hyperfixations aren't real ones.
@kingsleykys
If you know what it's like to have an interest and this is much more than that to a hyper or extreme extent, then it is likely a hyperfixation.
The whole point like I said is that hyperfixations are extreme
This seems extreme but idk I don't wanna speak for your experience lol
@Isa_isopod
Nah nah it's fine!! it's just good to try to make a distinction on what is a hyperfixation for you and what is just an interest.
Because if you call every interest you have a hyperfixation, then you are like totally watering down the meaning of the word.
If that makes sense/nm
Yall needa realize this ain't black n white.
The power imbalance was that KD was an inspiration and idol to birdie.
Birdie was 12/13 KD was 14.
You know what most 14 year olds won't know, especially ones being actively groomed and abused??
What an unhealthy power dynamic is.
aye, I'm back, i did an unfollowing spree so if you got unfollowed. Don't take it personally.
If we were mutuals n i unfollowed you-
tbh i probs just forgot who you were in relation to me,, uhh so again don't take it personally.
mk here art ig 💥
Slight rant //
It's so wack ass backwards how hard some y'all wanna defend birdie now and excuse every damn thing it did because "he was a kid"
But refuse to apply that same logic to KD when she was also a kid??
You're all hypocrites.
@uww_yeah65277
It doesn't have to be negative to be a hyperfixation.
Personally I think that once it's something you are thinking about CONSTANTLY, then like it's definitely a hyperfixation.
My way of measuring it ain't the end all be all though. That's just how I do it.
Kinda rant //
A lot of large artist are total dicks.
I don't trust artists with a following over 10k till I like somewhat get to know them n interact with them more.
Most of my experiences with large artists have been poor, one being particularly bad.
