Autistic people are, by the diagnostic criteria, disadvantaged in social situations by our inability to conform to norms

When large celebrity accounts gaslight already angry #ActuallyAutistic advocates this is magnified 100x over, resulting frustrations can be life-threatening https://twitter.com/edgar_a_bitch/status/1336615200380907520
Regardless of your thoughts about the movie M*sic or S*a it's important we assign her the responsibilities of running a large platform

When you use your influence to punch down on smaller accounts your fans follow your lead, this is really dangerous without accounting for autism
When you take the core criteria that autistic people are diagnosed with and apply them to this situation it's even worse

Meltdowns as a response to stressors can present as self-harming behavior which means a high chance for one of these twitter threads to literally kill someone
It doesn't matter what a reasonable response is to being punched down on, that's not what you are going to get from autistic people

Our responses to stressors present like meltdowns, shutdowns which at the very least take energy and time from us
I know what it's like to be gaslit on here until I meltdown and start melting down into self-harming

I speak from personal experience, this isn't theory it's documented lived experience
If you take even a cursory glance at the demographic data and trends in this group of specific disabled people you can understand the depth of this concern

We are(on avg) isolated, unemployed, traumatized, and missed by supports

We are vulnerable and S*a is abusing us for money
Your personal opinion on this film or S*a's marketing doesn't change any of this, none of this is unique to this situation

I could agree with all the points S*a has made in defense of herself and this would still be a completely damning charge morally
@TwitterSupport If you allow this to continue you will have blood on your hands
If the stans find this just know the person I QTed I have known for over a year and we aren't mutuals or buddies of any kind

Enjoy your mental gymnastics trying to demonize me for being worried about celebrities targeting a group that is about 9x more likely to commit suicide
Is PR worth more than a life? Two?

How many have to die before you re-consider, this is a plea to stop please stop please stop

Go ahead and make your money but leave autistic people upset at you alone
