So you were playing at being ignorant of the quote in order to further your rant? Would that be wilful cluelessness, or malicious cluelessness?
Incidentally, blind and blindness are not perjoratives -- clueless however is a way of calling someone so stupid they don't realise how stupid they are. (The heroine of the film Clueless, which popularised the word, is neither deliberately or maliciously ignoring the feelings of others.) And clueless is only ever used insultingly. Strange that you want to change a phrase so that its more insulting to people with stigmatised disabilities (such as autism).
