    Hey, let’s not lower ourselves to Beast’s level. Sociopathy is just Greek for “social illness”. It refers to psychosocial disorders like autism. Beast is afraid of being called autistic because he’s a bigot. We’re not like him. We don’t hate autistic people.

      If we lived in ancient Greece, you may have a point, but that word has a specific, medical meaning today. It does not refer to Autism.

        No, they wouldn’t.

        Socio- is from Latin socius meaning companion or ally. Only the suffix has Greek roots. The term was coined way after the ancient Greeks and Romans.
