Tw below for talking about ableism and horror characters!
Okay so let me go ahead and explain why some things I reject for seemingly no reason when the character is obviously autistic.
I try not to put too many ~ morally ambiguous ~ choices on the blog, not because autistic people can't be evil ( we can and I am >:3 /s. ) But I mean that I try not to display characters who's negative traits are because of any implied autism. Like for example, a while back, I had Chucky from the horror movies as a suggestion. Unfortunately I know his back story and it is that of a childish man and they blamed his social ineptness and childishness for why he got violent. Because he was "too dumb to understand right from wrong" and "isn't it so tragic that he was like this."
I haven't really had the spoons to express this yet, but this is what I mean when I say I won't post characters that edge too close to that similar line. Yes bad guys can be autistic but not if they're bad because they're autistic.
Hope I expressed my thought process clearly!
