    What comes to the conclusion of the video: Maybe it’s just I’ve got some weird Spectrum Genes, but when I was a kid and early adult, I was fucking paralysed by the idea that all of my jokes were basically stolen. 20 years later, I think I’ve developed A Style, but in the off chance I remember a directly quoted joke, I’m fucking deliberately saying it’s a stolen joke, every time.

    Also, one of the things that I’ve learned this year, as exemplified by this video, is that just because you’re in a marginalised community doesn’t mean you’re automatically a saint. Seen plenty of people just doing a dum-dum. Don’t do dumb things. Makes you look dumb. Makes your community look dumb too. Know what I mean? I’m looking at you.
