I just read a comic by someone who was presumably autistic, saying that using r***** is fine because they are autistic. The comic got taken down so there was no discussion, but people were downvoting me for saying that it is a mental health disorder. It's not.

It's not re***ation. It can come with it, but by itself, it is not. It's just a social disorder. Some of the smartest minds have/had autism, which kind of disproves the mental disorder belief for it. I'm annoyed that comic was removed, because it stopped the discussion in it.

We have videos of them biting water buffalos, and then following them for weeks until they die. Why don't people consider this proof that Komodo Dragons hunt this way? Is it due to the history behind people questioning their venom, or is there something I'm missing?

Edit: The comments here are perfect examples. People are downvoting me and acting like I'm wrong while they cite outdated information.

*They kill using bacteria.

No, they kill larger prey using a venom with anti coagulant properties, which tenda to get infected and cause septis.

*They kill most of their hunts within minutes.

This is irrelevant when we are specifically talking about larger prey, such as water buffalos.

*Their hunts take days, not weeks.

Usually, sure. But we have videos and documentation of it sometimes taking weeks. You can argue they exaggerated it, but they have video and did the work, so I'd believe them over you.

Edit 2:

• It's not venom.

Debate that with the professionals who classified it, not me. Besides, no one debates that the Western Taipon is venomous, do they? So why argue that the Komodo dragon isn't venomous when the toxins have the same effects?

Do you all realize how much more we learned about Komodo dragons in the last few years? Or are you trying to debate me with decade old information that has been disproven?

Edit 3: Do people see me downvoted and just assume I'm wrong? Like, I'm posting evidence. Evidence you can't even argue against. Tf is this?
