You realize putting stupid in quotation marks makes it no less offensive to imply that autism and stupidity are the same thing, right? We have some members with ASD; I'm surprised they haven't spoken up about this yet.

What's not cute about it? It's a cute threat and Sasha even looks cute while delivering her ultimatum!

Part of it in my case is not wanting to be a squeaky wheel--some people just don't know better--and part of it was a post in another thread (forget which one, and who said it) that said that EVERYONE claims to be ASD online, which worried me because I don't want to be accused of that myself....
I wonder if Sasha's talents go beyond just Music like is she good with Math and Science and stuff or is she just a Musical genus?
Edit: fixed spelling and wording

I fully understand the consequences of the condition and how "stupid" is actually further from the truth than is the case with those without it, but I couldn't think of a less cumbersome way to word it than "having mannerisms that can at times make interaction more awkward leading to the possibility of severe underestimations of intellect" than to just put it in quotes with the implication that using a word would be wrong, but perhaps it wasn't overt enough.

I have ASD, and this might not be the best thing to say, but I don't really care if someone calls me stupid, or similar because I know I'm not. I'm just a little bit different as everyone else. Others on the other hand, might find it offensive, and people should take that into consideration. So to everyone on this forum, please think about what you're saying and the way it comes out, as it might be offensive to some.

That past title seems more fitting now.
Well yes it's a visceral threat, but it's a lot less so than the proposed one, which probably WOULD almost break the rating. But I mean, just look at Spongebob. Even eye injuries can be amusing.
Guys I am getting the feeling that this ending was cheap to some people. I didn't want this to go on for any longer than this (I haven't done a short arc in a while!) and I sorta feel like some people keep trying to bully me into including more and more plot elements. Or in this case, take out plot elements, as people didn't want Bino in the arc at all. And people were otherwise expecting me to perform miracles of plot weaving. Why is it that people start expecting miracles 100% of the time!
I'm sure the cold hand of science will be able to overcome his magical powers

It wasn't cheap at all. I laughed quite a lot at it.
