You can explain it without calling people "autistic losers".

Just "losers" is sufficient.



It's not sufficient, because the culture of WSB is such that they refer to themselves as autists. To not use the term would be an inaccurate description


You don't have to use the same language as the people you're talking about.

See, for example, ThoughtSlime's coverage of fascist militias.

Or we can stop bending over backwards to try to satisfy everyone's delicate sensibilities


You don't get it, so here goes: they refer to themselves as autistic losers, and "retards" and such, precisely because it "triggers" someone exactly like you. You won't look any deeper, having been "triggered," and that's mission accomplished for them.
