It's not shocking an asian would say the whole nigger thing doesn't bug him.

Its a name, not a Description...

So nigger is not offensive because...
autist is offensive because...

fill in blanks pl0x

Stop getting butthurt over the fucking internet. If you want to know the origin of builders being called autists, stay a while and listen.

Long ago in a magical realm called 4chan, in the land called /v/, there lived a man named Manly Tears. Now, all of /v/ hated video games, but once they discovered a game called Minecraft, they thought it was a gift from God. Everyone except Manly Tears, who, due to his extreme hatred of building things and his Napoleonic Complex; hated Minecraft, calling players children or "autists", due to the supposed fact that autistic children love Legos. Eventually, the saying spread all over /v/, many started to resent Minecraft players, calling them autistic. And now that Ace Of Spades has come, similar in Minecraft due to the building aspect, the word has migrated.

Except that everyone on /v/ is autistic. The way I see it, there's two types of autism. One that makes you love minecraft, and the other that makes you hate it.

Autism here is somthing like calling others "gay faggot" in other games and irl.
They are not in fact gay (or autist) but is used as an adjective to make it sound more insulting.
Also autist here are just useless players doing nothing but building.

to be honest Idgaf if i'm called an autist
I love to build "pointless" forts knowing they'll be wrecked by a greifer eventually :P
and if they're greifing while i'm adding onto it, of course I'll be pissed, but did it even help the team? maybe but not always...
