As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.

The right is funding him in an effort to split the vote on the left in an effort to boost Trump. They're especially desperate to split the Democrat and Independent votes since it's become very obvious that RFK Jr has been fragmenting the voter base on the right. The libertarian votes that Trump just assumed would be his have a very good chance of going to Master Brain Worm.

Because some people interpret it as flamboyantly queer when a male does it.

That's true everywhere. The issue isn't what they are, the issue is how they were deliberately misrepresented. A whole lot of films and shows made it a point to conflate punks with white supremacists.

The solution: no human contact.

I think you have this flipped, though. It's more like we hear ourselves all the time, but we don't sound at all to ourselves the way we actually sound. We don't have a sort of internal picture of ourselves to create dissonance with our reflection or photographs in the same way we do with our voices. It's that dissonance that makes us distrust or dislike hearing ourselves as we actually sound because that isn't the voice we identify with internally.

Ah, yes, everyone's favorite Dorito flavor, Dick Kicker.

Pets don't get medals!

Except...

Apparently dogs DO get medals, but Chewie gets passed over. Chewbacca has sub-pet status.

I've said this 1,000 times, and I'll repeat it as often as I need to.

The Left is arguing Human Rights. The Right is arguing Property Rights. Conservative values are very clear that women are not seen as independent individuals, but as property of their fathers and then their husbands. Women are chattel. This mentality permeates and pervades every aspect of Conservative ideology where women are concerned. Men must protect women. Not because it benefits the woman, though they will tell women that they should be grateful for the protection. Men must protect their property, they must protect their investment in that woman. It's important to understand that Conservatives view all non-white, non-male, queer, and non-Conservatives as inherently inferior, requiring their guidance and control to conform to their superior ideology, or extermination if they refuse.

View everything they say and do through that lens, and everything makes perfect sense.

Sometimes I wonder if Galaxy Quest didn't understand Trek better than some actual Trek shows?

If your foundation is built in quicksand, you don't keep building on it. You tear it out and build on solid bedrock. That's not so radical.
