#(I think it depicts autistic people badly and like only savants have value)

[boneless-mika]

I have never seen a thumbnail that manages to so effectively mock both autistic and trans people at the same time. I think maybe the worst part it's very likely this is unintentional (so I'm not hating on the creator, I just think they didn't fuly think through how this would be interpreted), I don't watch transphobic or ableist content, the reason this was recommended to me I think is that I watched a few minutes of a Sad Boyz episode where they talk about The Good Doctor

#sad boyz also used this exact image of the actor for their thumbnail and idk guys #doesn't really come off great to me #again I don't think it was their intention for it to look like they were mocking autistic people but it kind of reads like it #and that makes me uncomfortable even though the titular Sad Boyz obviously wouldn't think it's okay to mock autistic people #but once again I am abnormally sensitive so maybe all other autistic people think this is fine and good and has no negative implications #but that doesn't mean my opinion is inherently wrong #thank you for not treating me like crap over it #anyway that's probably why this video ended up in my recommendeds #bc it has a similar thumbnail and subject to that video #and I guess talking about this show is super popular rn #(I do hate it FYI) #(I think it depicts autistic people badly and like only savants have value) #(and as an austic man who is below average at everything that just really hurts) #(my friends do appreciate me even though I'm not a super genius and they don't ever demand I act more like an allistic person to deserve #to be loved) #(and the idea they should or would be justified in doing so is fucked up)
