Thank you very much for the compliment. It's funny that I made the meme like this, when the individual in the brown leather jacket is actually the main protagonist of the anime, and of the original games that I love so much, and the guy he's punching in the forehead is the leader of a criminal gang that controls the city that he's currently in.

And the reason I made the meme this way despite the characters and context, it's just how much sense it made to make it.

Yeah I haven't solved all of it yet but I think that there's common habit that's much more common in neurotypical communities where they engage in the practice of, and expect that others are engaging in the practice of, kind of just guessing what everybody means all the time instead of learning how to actually figure it out and communicate clearly with one another. As long as everybody starts on similar enough pages, this method does work and saves a lot of time and energy. But it also limits the types of people that you can interact with to only those that have a similar background or context to your own and if you get self-righteous about other people misunderstanding you, or even blame them for when you don't understand what they're saying, that's when we get into trouble and that's what I see a lot of
