if you haven’t heard, Sia made an impressively offensive film about a person with autism and it’s basically a 2 hour minstrel show

    The film was literally associated with autism speaks. Like even my clueless ass halfway across the planet in the middle of fucking nowhere knows that autism speaks is a terrible organisation, how tf did Sia not know this?

    Also in the film they use the phrase “special abilities” instead of disabled. Can it get any worse at this point.

      I mean, most people don’t know that. Hell, I’m neuro atypical myself, and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
