Helloo!

I am a HUGE fan of Dating Killmulator (Abel is so cutee) and I've really enjoyed the gameplay till now. It's definitely one of the best games I've played on itch, but I just encountered a small hitch.

In the recent chapter release, there's a line where the MC thinks about how much more 'autistic' Florian could get. I am not exactly sure if this was meant to be a derogatory joke or whether Florian is revealed to actually have autism, but it did hurt me on a personal level.

I do know that online, autism is being considered as some sort of joke (it is not), and it is sad to see my favourite game following along with the 'joke' on neurodivergence.

I hope the creators see this and fix that line!

For context, the person who wrote that is autistic.
To us, self-deprecation is a form of ownership.
If we can’t find the irony in our own wiring, the whole concept of humor falls apart.

As the guy that wrote the line is also writting this comment, I'm so sorry that you felt attacked. It is truly a relief for me to be able to make fun of how weird I act in front of uncomfortable situtations or social moments. 

That's alright. I just wanted to confirm, but thanks for checking in. I had just hoped that it wasn't a derogatory remark.
