I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

Remember DroneRights? They seemed to be genuinely mentally ill so I don’t want to make fun of them, but right before they got banned they tried to make some argument about how reality didn’t exist, like it’s just a social construct. Wild stuff.

Wasn't DroneRights the poster that was saying they had antisocial personally disorder and trying to pass it off as neurodivergence?

Wouldn't ASPD by definition be neurodivergent?

Yeah, imo it would.

I think what was tough with dronerights was that they demanded that everyone interacting with their posts use their odd and esoteric frameworks, or you would be accused of discriminating against their way of being and thinking. They had a way of weaponizing a lot of things people would say, even though people would engage in really good faith with their really fucking strange ideas
