Yes, I know I am doing it,
I say lighthearted topics in a serious tone, while I talk about serious topics in a lighthearted tone exactly because I know, that a serious topic is most of the time way too much for a normie to handle straight on.

But these socailly retarded idiots are incapable of recognizing a serious topic to begin with, so instead they start to hyper-focus on the lighthearted topic with a will of a drunken ex.

Fellow autists get it immediately. 'Don't let yourself get gaslit into thinking that they're lacking social awareness. :D
