I'm just gonna live up to my username. You know what, the OP if fucking right. We should do something and not just mope the fuck around. I mean of course it is on *us* to forgive. Apparently it's a *crazy* concept to the normies that the fact that stuttering is a neurological disorder that **none** of us asked to have. Not a goddamn one of us said, "I wanna speak the remixed AND chopped n' screwed versions of my language!" Some of us never meet another stutterer. I have only met one person that also stuttered. They were a boy. Stuttering is rarer in girls. It is a lonely world. Few people treat me like a person. You wanna know a heartbreaking fact? I used to love Porky Pig as a child. "Someone who speaks like me!". It was the earliest representation I had seen of a stutterer. I even loved that he had a wife named Petunia who also stuttered. Then I grew up and learned that the original voice actor Joe Dougherty (an actual stutter) was replaced by a non stutter. Why? Because the original actor couldn't "control" where he stuttered. Yes he got replaced for stuttering. The way that most of us do. But it's *our* misery about stuttering that is the problem... Okay.
