Wasn't trying to be offensive; it was just the best comparison that I could come up with for why that show is offensive to me. I'm a medically-diagnosed aspie, btw. I get it (I am an aspie too and social stuff has always been very hard for me), and understand what you were going for, but I would still suggest trying to be more careful. There are serious implications with comparing those two things. There’s obviously very good reason for people to get specifically upset about the one over the other... Quote Link to post
Link, the Hero of Dreams 335 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) 2 hours ago, Pichi said: the implication is that the actors were wearing masks of untrue, harmful autism stereotypes for the sake of comedy i agree with the sentiment although i'm hesitant to readily compare it to something as heinous as what blackface was I see. I guess I took your post out of context. Although I think differently, I can see where that is coming from. I’m somewhat of a socially awkward person myself, so I related a little more to the characters. I enjoyed the performance rather than the drama behind the scenes. So even though I never saw it as foul play and personally didn’t find the characters too insulting, I guess other people in my spectrum can. Representation with the mentally disabled is really slippery. Comedy is subjective. ... Although I know in real life no one would ever act like Sheldon or Raj at times. And there are definitely some cringe moments. Comedy is really ugly at times. Yeah, Sheldon is a bit of a problem. He means well the times he tries to comfort people, but can come off as really arrogant or such. The show only works because there are other people to play off him. And he does act both mature and immature at times when he can. A similar character in my head is Adrian Monk, but I feel Monk is a lot more sympathetic, because he has better character moments.

Though it only recently concluded, the show did debut in 2007. To put that in perspective, it predates Groupon, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Team Fortress 2 and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, to name a few things. Quote Link to post

Tyranogre 2226 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Question for people who brush their teeth: If you brush them before going to sleep, but then get up a few hours later to get a snack or a glass of milk, do you have to brush them again before going back to bed? Quote Link to post
Doc Brown 1173 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I usually rebrush them. Doesn't hurt. Tonight's the last Alex Trebek episode of Jeopardy. Gonna be a sad one. They're doing a tribute to him after the episode. DranSeasona and Link, the Hero of Dreams 2 Quote Link to post
