sorry i keep talking about this but um what the fuck was this
tw ableism

like???????? did no one tell them this is so fucking harmful to autistic people
tw ableism

this and the fact that they made farkle neurotypical in the end when he was so clearly autistic coded and that meant So much for autistic kids and teens watching the show . AND they made the one autistic character in the show a quirky funny punchline . lmao fuck gmw
tw ableism

smackle was So smart and sweet and funny and such a good friend (literally a better person than riley and maya and she was there for like 3 minutes) and all they did was joke abt how she doesnt like to be hugged?? its so so so messed up and no one talks abt it
tw ableism

the characters NEVER learn from this. theres no "ok but autism isnt actually a deadly disease" gmw doesnt ever adress how maya and riley reacted in an extremely ableist harmful way. they only use this to push the "what matters is you not your labels" disney thing
tw ableism

farkle couldve been such a key character to move forward in autism on tv. disney had the chance to put not one but two autistic characters on the spotlight and then they didnt . THIS is what makes gmw so messed up and the fact that some of you look past it +
tw ableism

+ because of your funny little queerbait ship is gross. the fact that no one talks about this if autistic people dont talk about this is Wrong. im so fucking mad right now
tw ableism

and the fact that they had the NERVE to add that "autistic people dont understand love / are incapable of love" stereotype is what hits me the hardest because farkle was easily the most loving caring loyal kid in that show. all his friends turned on him when they +
tw ableism

+ found out he couldve been autistic and he had to make them promise that they wouldnt let him not understand love after they completely turned him down while he was explaining his own symptoms. everything about this episode is wrong
tw ableism

so anyway allistics stop writing over autistic people i will literally run you over with my car . farkle i love u
WRITING OVER?? this was gonna say writing abt and then i changed it to speaking over idk im too mad to make sense gn

i would like to add that theres nothing wrong with you finding comfort in this show , i used to too before i got into bmw !! especially if youre neurodivergent please dont take this as a Dont Watch Gmw Bc If U Do Ur Bad kind of thing just please hold it accountable for this
also watch bmw because its better and you wont miss gmw after u watch the original . its more gay and less ableism ur gonna love it
my notifs are freaking me out a bit so im gonna mute this now but autistic people please know you are so perfect and valid and none of your traits deserve this treatment or anything but acceptance and love . u are amazing and i love u
shamelessly plugging this here for some positivity i guess ? https://twitter.com/bestautistic/status/1295977178136489984/video/1
