Comment on Wil looks like he's already mentally planning their life together
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 months agoIs it? Wil Wheaton isn’t like mega star or anything but there’s a decent chance any random person knows he’s an actor

Oh yeah I forgot he was on the Big Nerd Blackface Theory show, wine moms and Pearl Jam dads love to laugh at autistics.

Dude, as a fellow neurodivergent person, it’s not comparable to blackface. Like not even a little. It’s definitely mocking autistic people sure, but people need to stop comparing shit to blackface

How else would you effectively communicate “the negative characteristics of a group portrayed in a heightened and exaggerated manner for people outside the group to mock and laugh at”? These are not loving and respectful homages, they are “guess what, normies, it’s OK to laugh at these retards!”

Parodies, mockeries, buffooning, cruel depiction for humorous effect. Really anything other than comparing it to a form of racialized mockery that depicted a group of people as less than or barely human within a lifetime of the ending of their centuries of enslavement. I understand that it can feel like they’re similar but people are way too comfortable comparing mockery to blackface.
