re: waterboy being autistic, another part of him that’s so autistic is the fact that he’s infantilised by the fandom because some ppl have no concept of autistic people being adults
I've had people say shit like "nooo he's not sexual at all he's just a little silly guy 🥹" when they hear of my writing
I beg your finest pardon, that is a grown ass man with a dick and balls
It really reminds me of when I was diagnosed in adulthood and was full-on asked if that makes it assault to be any kind of sexual with me 😭 No dude, we are grown people!!! Just because we struggle with some things like socialization and emotional regulation doesn't mean we aren't grown ass people!!
Aagh I'm ranting at this point but I completely agree I can't stand the way people act like you're committing some crime against humanity if you sexualize Waterboy too hard 😭😭
