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

Holy shit Sia is a moron. How do idiots like this that don’t understand like the basics of being a decent person get anywhere in life?

Meritocracy my ass.

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.

Yeah but you didn’t decide to make a movie about autism though. So it’s understandable that you wouldn’t know that. You would think someone making a movie would do the most basic research on the subject matter, but apparently even that’s too much much when it comes to movies about neurodiverse and disabled people.

She claimed to do research for three years for this movie. Yikes

Honestly never heard of it and know literally nothing about it.

But I’m not about to sign a big contract with them, either.

Yeah that’s the thing. Sia could’ve done the most basic research into this and figured out that may people with autism hate autism speaks for very valid reasons, but she just didn’t.
