I'm mad.
Warning: rant about autism online communities
I've always felt weird about how the online autistic community criticizes The Good Doctor.
The criticism never seems to be, "hey, most media with autistic people also involves savant syndrome, I feel like people will conflate the two," or, "hey, autism doesn't make someone blatantly transphobic and unable to learn."
The criticism is always, "why does he speak like that? I don't speak like that." "Why does he move like that? It's super awkward." "They made everything about his autism and makes us seem stupid," "They only show stereotypical autism."
For one, it's clear nobody has actually watched the show, because the show delves into his past and he also literally has a wife and a kid; the show is meant to show people that some autistic people can do things like neurotypicals can. Literally the entire premise is about an autistic person being a doctor, it's meant to challenge stereotypes about autism (and no, House is not autism rep, one episode mentions he might have "Asperger's" and then Wilson says he doesn't and just calls him an asshole. House is never confirmed to be autistic).
Two, as someone with stereotypical autistic traits, it's always disheartening when I see autistic people online make fun of Shawn for...having autistic traits. They always bring up how he speaks or how he moves and act like no autistic person does that. I do that. I speak like that. I don't make eye contact and I don't have an expressive face, and I wring my hands a lot.
Literally every time someone says The Good Doctor is "bad rep," it is always, always, always about the traits he has, rather than any sort of message the show is sending. Do we just conviniently forget that "stereotypical" autistic people even exist anymore?
I struggle to even call it a stereotype because his symptoms are just general autism symptoms, there is literally nothing special about the way he presents other than having savant syndrome. Yet we never criticize show writers for giving literally every autistic person in media savant syndrome...
Also, they use Dr. House as "good" autism rep. House shows the same traits as Shawn, except House is conventionally attractive and stands out more as a character. I love House MD, but come on. House is very much a "stereotypical" presentation of autism as well. I am convinced people don't like The Good Doctor because they were told by people online that it was bad.
(Also, the "I AM A SURGEON" meme is pretty funny. This post isn't about that, it's about general criticisms people make about the show).
on todays episode of convos btwn various characters who would despise each other we have...
temperance brennan (bones): can’t lie, won’t lie, facts > feelings, will not stop talking about ancient bone structure and crime scene particulates gregory house: hates everyone, addicted to vicodin and being right, will provoke a room full of people just to prove a point and ruin lunch shawn murphy: says what he thinks with no social filter, has saved 27 lives today and still got roasted by a nurse for not saying “please”
setting: forced to work together on a combined FBI–hospital–murder–medical mystery episode crossover extravaganza. tone: like locking three cats in a shoebox and shaking it.
house: “oh, fantastic. a forensic anthropologist with the bedside manner of an MRI machine.” brennan: “i don't understand why you're angry. i simply corrected your flawed diagnostic.” shawn: “i like bones. they're very organized.” house: “great. rain man with a scalpel.” shawn: “that’s not a kind thing to say.” brennan: “you’re both exhibiting emotional responses. it’s inefficient.” house: “i’m going to fake a seizure so i can go home.”
meanwhile, the patient’s spleen has exploded, a corpse is missing a femur, and cameron is crying in the hallway. none of them have noticed.

Unused cover art for Doom 64
Art by Shawn Murphy
Grayman53 apparently got in contact with Shawn Murphy to share more D64 concept art.
This thread is about 6 or so artworks and this one about that female enemy.
2 seem seen before but one is the full version of the unused D64 box art.
Also, going back to the unused female demon.
In one of the DW threads linked above, she and the 2 headed dog apparently had names... maybe.
"I was able to get in contact with one of D64 level’s designers Randy Estrella, and he actually gave me the names for the demon dog and lady!"
"That’s right! Nobody could have guessed these! /s
I’m guessing these were names thought up on the spot until maybe someone could come up with something more creative. Unless I can get into contact with the former artist of D64 and they can tell me something different, Cerberus and Succubus are the names the team used for those cut demons."
Funny enough, with my "ultimate Doom game/meytr" project, i once thought of the female D64 demon (which i call Harvester in that project) being a potential Succubus as theorized by the UAC, in my version of Doom lore.
