#when trivializing/misrepresenting real conditions is probably worse

“I’m calling out this person for making tickle art of real celebrities”

And you play armchair psychologist and insist they have autism when there’s like 3 different cultural factors complicating that and zero sign of that person having sensory issues.

#look i get there’s some past celebrities people kind of go “yeah they probably did tho we’ll never really know” #like tiny tim #but this person is… just a nerd with janky social skills HEAVILY influenced by being uprooted and moving to a new country as a kid #like it’s not impossible but there’s so many confounding factors it’s stupid to act confident like that #and they also do it with people that don’t really show any signs at all and it stinks of trivializing #I’m ambivalent on rpf (and in this particular case i think a boomer rockstar would outright encourage it) it’s just so hypocritical #when trivializing/misrepresenting real conditions is probably worse
