Ok, I get that the word insane can be used as an ableist term, but I was not referring to it as such. I meant it in it’s literal sense, so do not frame me like that. I myself have had moments in my life where I had my sanity slip. From my viewpoint, being the person who I am, just going around in public and asking people to read an 8 minute text is insane. Doesn’t matter hoe good the text is, that is what someone who has lost their sanity would do.
As for readin 8 minutes worth of text:
If you want to encounter people that can not read through that, first of all, nice to meet you, second of all you have to do is to go to c/ADHD, you’ll find plenty. It’s also a difference if it’s just some dude posting a comment with a link to that text, being the equivalent to asking a stranger you just met to read a pamphlet, or actually dedicatedly talking to that person, as they are automatically way more invested.
I find it incredibly pretentious that just because I didn’t speak for the online link of a certain group, it is automatically assumed, that I am a “proudly acting in bad faith” and being called a lib, like it was. On top of being insulted of being illeterate of course and the like. That is insane as well.
I myself have ADHD. I find reading for long periods of time to be a struggle, and have had to figure out what works best for me. I know what works for me may not work for everyone. What I take issue with is you mocking someone for posting an extremely relevant and short essay that is very much on topic.
You’re taking the stance that because you have struggles with reading essay-length and longer, that you can just mock people recommending theory to others. Rather than asking for a summary, or an audiobook version if that works for you, you just decided to insult the user recommending the theory. It’s disingenuous wrecker behavior.
You’re directly insulting their effort to provide something helpful in-context with a mocking meme. What if instead of replying to your comment, I just responded with that meme? How would you feel?

And where are the words “That’s a lot of words, too bad I’m not reading em” an insult?

I’d still really like to learn what I did wrong.
I already explained, using a meme meant to invalidate what someone is saying is already rude.

I mean that wasn’t even directed at you, so what are you trying to achieve here?
