I was never a rationalist proper in the first place, but I did notice that I needed to add increasingly careful disclaimers about sharing rationalist stuff over time.
(I do think there's an actual asshole problem in some rationalist spaces, especially SSC comment threads, but it's mostly rationalist-adjacents and even there it's closer to an asshole presence than an asshole problem per se)

the ostensible asshole problem is that neurotypicals can't deal with autist straight shooters

Ehhh. Yes, that's some of it, but I think there are some other problems in there too. I don't really want to argue the case though because I'm not that wed to my position on it and basically agree with you.

AFAICT mostly people just really don't like nerds, but it became unpopular to say so overtly once nerd culture was coopted by the mainstream, so they had to hide their dislike by labelling nerds as problematic first and *then* make fun of them for being nerds.

Were nerds always problematic, or is the term "problematic" just a synonym for "nerd-like?"
