It’s not censoring though, it’s just a warning based on the word “autistic”? Which people often use as an insult, which would obviously be reportable. Seems... fine to me?

Uhhh there is a lot wrong with flagging any and all uses as autistic as being reportable.

Yeah it IS used as an insult but it’s also the way autistic people refer to themselves? Like if it was flagging gay like you say further below, that’s ALSO really bad.

Have you never used a chat forum that arbitrarily censored words, even when they were part of other words?

Obviously, I know how autistic and gay people refer to themselves. What I’m saying here is this is not some kind of smart algorithm. It’s just noticing a single word. I highly doubt twitter has simultaneously changed how reporting works and what is and isn’t ok to say.

Yes I have. And it’s still shit. Them pivoting to this does nothing.

Except it’s offensive to those whose identities are already stigmatized. So it is a problem they are doing this. Why do this now? What do they think this will solve? It only makes it harder for many.

Love to be told what’s offensive to me

Where did I say that? It’s offensive to ME and OTHERS such as in the original tweet that Chris posted the screenshot of. I have no idea what the point of your issue is only that you were very clearly defending the flagging of the word. Which frankly is also offensive.
