[QUOTE=Skyward;42743223]Its a figure of speech that is tragically underused.[/QUOTE] It's just another way of saying "by the way" which less people understand, but whatever you say.

[QUOTE=papaya;42736661][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyk1GZPoYK0[/media][/QUOTE] Requesting avatar of the kids reaction.
To be honest I think the kid has autism and didn't realize that his question was offensive.
[QUOTE=pixskull;42735489]"That's a personal question" What? no it's not. Autism.[/QUOTE] I'm sure if someone asked about your tiny dick it wouldn't be a personal question either right
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;42735755][video=youtube;wsO-Td0hqXo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsO-Td0hqXo[/video][/QUOTE] HAHAHAH OH MY GOD I thought that video was a joke at first because of the name sign above his head but wow nope that's fuckin hilarious

it honestly just seems like kid was wondering. I mean they way it was phrased at the end "did it help you at all with modding." The majority of the people present here are awkward in most ways and so what if he had a camera. I think it's far less likely that this kid had an agenda to get to Minecon, bring a camera, prepare a punchline in the form of a question, and then try to record it in hopes of causing a ruckus. As opposed to just being some awkward kid that tried to ask a question, the line, 'don't everyone answer at once,' just seems like an awkward/stupid way to try to make up for the fact that his potentially genuine question was rejected. Then again this is Minecon so I revert to a 50/50 possibly of either scenario. [editline]wat[/editline] [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/tbRJFG.png[/img]

Minecon isnt a convention for minecraft, its a convention for awkward videos and moments.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;42744753]Minecon isnt a convention for minecraft, its a convention for awkward videos and moments.[/QUOTE] I'd like more of these if possible. I tried searching minecon2013 with sorted by recently uploaded and all I found was mostly ~12 year olds with vertical phone cameras recording themselves waiting in line.
Lol by the smirk on that kids face he was definetely trolling these guys.. Too funny

[QUOTE=pixskull;42744493] Also when did Facepunch start being so protective towards people with autism. During my two year stint here people have always reacted with criticism towards people with autism. You laugh at bronies and cloppers. I don't give a fuck if they've got autism. The kid made me laugh because I wouldn't have expected someone of his age to ask such a question.[/QUOTE] Basically, laugh at people for their disorders. When people are just being openly weird like saying they wank to some pony porn, yeah you cant help but laugh or feel utterly weirded out by them, but if your just going up to random people and asking "DO YOU HAVE THIS DISORDER? HA HA! YOUR NOT ONE OF US NORMIES!" then you are acting a bit of a twat.
[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;42740652]The fact that the kid had a video camera in his hands makes it seem more like he was expecting a huge joke reaction and it just didn't go how he thought it would. Seems like a punk tbh[/QUOTE] I wouldn't look at it that way. I've seen a bunch of support groups with slogans along the lines of "having autism makes me special etc.:". I wouldn't be surprised if he is austic himself and he was trying to gather support for organizations that focus on autism specifically, by having the minecraft devs admitting they're autistic and confessing how being autstic has helped them make their lives better. As for the camera I don't think he was trying to use it as tool to embarass the devs, I think he didn't know he was going to get recorded by the minecon crew, so he brought his own so he could post the video as an incentive for autistic people to get themselves out there and make something out of themselves, like the minecraft devs. I don't know I might be complicating this a bit too much, but that's just me.

I bet so many felt targeted in this room.
I thought the panelists were going to ask the audience and like everyone raises their hands.
[QUOTE=pixskull;42744493]Get off your fucking high horse. The only reason people in this thread are being so defensive is because a kid is asking the question. If it was some guy in his early twenties you'd all be praising him to kingdom come. Also when did Facepunch start being so protective towards people with autism. During my two year stint here people have always reacted with criticism towards people with autism. You laugh at bronies and cloppers. I don't give a fuck if they've got autism. The kid made me laugh because I wouldn't have expected someone of his age to ask such a question.[/QUOTE] I doubt a single person cares that it's a kid asking the question. Why do you think that asking someone if they have a mental disability isn't a personal question. The reason we are being protect of people with mental disabilities, is because we are becoming more accepting of people with disabilities and not acting like young pubescent teens. Sure we will still laugh at the situation, but would not go and make fun of disabled people. You saying that autism is funny is very immature hence why you were shamed. Also the brony hate thing is also changing. Making fun of someone because they watch MLP is very ignorant. Unless it's those people who flaunt it.
