THE PROBLEM OF TARA: AN EXHORTATION

"Concerning autism, the sassiest shitposters of the Twitter age have judged alike: it is no good. Recently and everywhere one has heard the same sound from their mouths:
"a sound full of contempt, full of smugness, full of weariness of autism, full of resistance to autism. Even @ASYMPTOMATlC said, as she Tweeted: & #39;To sperg - that means to be sick a long time. I owe @PERFECTSWEETIE_ the Savior a retweet.& #39;
"Even @KBULTRA0 is tired of it. What does that evidence? What does that evince?
These sassiest shitposters of our age - they should first be scrutinized closely. Are they all perhaps shaky on their legs? Late? Tottery? Decadents? ...

"... Could it be that sarcasm appears in autism as a raven, inspired by a little whiff of normality?"
...
...
"The irreverent thought that the cool shitposters are TYPES OF DECLINE first occurred to me precisely in a case where it is most strongly opposed by both autistic and non-austistic prejudice: I recognized Tara and Kantbot to be symptoms of degeneration, ...
"... tools of the e-sperg dissolution, pseudo-autsitic, anti-autistic."
...
"Judgements, judgements of value, concering sperging out on the Internet, for it or against it, can, in the end, never be true: they have value only as symptoms, they are worthy of consideration only...

"as symptoms."
...
"The value of autism cannot be estimated. Not by the autistic, for they are an interested party, even a bone of contention, and not judges; not by the non-autistic, for a different reason...

"Indeed? All these great autistic shitposters - they were not only decadents but not autistic at all? But I return to the problem of Tara."
"In origin, Tara belonged to the lowest class: Tara was hipster. We know, we can still see for ourselves, how hipster she dressed. But irony, in itself an objection, is among spergs almost a refutation. Was Tara an autist at all?
(The above image is literally the first result when I searched "hipster girl" in Google Images. In fairness I should note that that is not Tara pictured.)
"Hipster-ness is often enough the expression of a development that has been crossed, thwarted by crossing. Or it appears as DECLINING development. The wise e-sages tell us that the typical e-girl is hipster. But the hipster is a decadent. Was Tara a typical e-girl?
"At least that would not be contradicted by the famous judgement of the physiognomist who sounded so offensive to the simps of Tara. A sperg who knew about faces once passed through Twitter and told Tara to her face that she WAS an E-GIRL - that she harbored in herself all...
"Tara& #39;s decadence is suggested not only by the admitted cuteness and femininity of her shitposts, but also the nonchalant attitude and that SARCASM OF THE RACHITIC which distinguishes her...
"I seek to comprehend which idiosyncrasy begot that Taratic equation of contempt, irony, and effeminacy: that most bizarre of all equations, which, moreover, is opposed to all the instincts of the earlier jaded bourgeois e-autists."
...
...
"With Tara, e-autist taste changes in favor of normality. What really happened there? Above all, a WEIRD taste is thus vanquished; with normality, the socially acceptable people come to the top. Before Tara, normie manners were repudiated in autistic society...
"The young were warned against them. Furthermore, all such presentations of one& #39;s normality were distrusted...
Tara was the normie who GOT HERSELF TAKEN SERIOUSLY: what really happened there?

"Is the nonchalance of Tara an expression of revolt? Of hipster ressentiment? Does she, as one unbelonging, enjoy her own ferocity in the insults of her dismissals? Does she AVENGE herself on the nerds whom she fascinates? ...
"As a hot girl, one holds a merciless tool in one& #39;s hand; one can become a tyrant by means of it; one compromises those one conquers. The mocking popular girl leaves it to her opponents to prove that they are not uncool: she makes one furious and helpless at the same time...
"Indeed, is shitposting only a form of revenge for Tara?"
"But Tara guessed even more. She saw THROUGH the old autists; she comprehended that her own case, her own idiosyncrasy, was no longer exceptional. The same kind of degeneration was quietly developing everywhere:
"... the old autstic culture was coming to an end. And Tara understood that all the world NEEDED her - her means, her cure, her personal artifice of self-preservation.
"Her case was, at bottom, merely the extreme case, only the most striking instance of what was then beginning to be a universal distress: no one was any longer a frustrated and autistic weirdo anymore.
"She fascinated, being this extreme case; her awe-inspiring attractiveness proclaimed her as such to all who could see: she fascinated, of course, even more as an answer, a solution, an apparent CURE of this case."
