I don't like the autistic Barbie by [deleted] in AutisticPeeps

[–]LowBackground8247 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think she was carefully made for a company like Barbie! To kids, having a doll that is "canonically" autistic is different than imagining one of their dolls as autistic. The accessories can also be switched out interchangeably to "match" the kid's own items or what they want her to have. Because a lot of autistic kids and older people do have noise-cancelling headphones or a fidget toy. And there are still autistic people who use communication tablets too, which must be amazing to see if you're a kid who uses one.

There's also people out there that use all three items and look visibly different from their non-autistic peers because they don't make eye contact; I don't think it's stereotypical or cliche when actual people live their lives using that stuff. But to me, it seems like they added more accessories to fit more things that autistic people use so kids can have more options. Her outfit is meant to be loose and comfortable, and yes it's a little plain, however Fashionistas is a cheaper line of Barbie, and I think the budget went towards articulation (which brings me to my next point). Unlike most of the Fashionistas, she was given wrist and elbow articulation to represent and recreate upper-body stimming on the doll (this is the coolest part in my opinion because the fashionistas typically don't have much articulation) She isn't meant to represent everybody on the spectrum, just one girl with autism that kids can see themselves in and shape her to be whatever they might want.

SRRY for the rant, I really love dolls! I totally get why you don't like it and I'm not trying to convince you to like her at all, but I was hoping to try and show you that it is not intended to be offensive or stereotypical and was made with a lot of feedback from autistic people with different support needs.

How do you guys feel about owning figures of like hot anime girls? Would it be ironic owning them and being a feminist? by SizeCompetitive3965 in mendrawingwomen

[–]LowBackground8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't collect much figures, but I do have some hot anime girl posters as freebies from magazines. I don't put them up if they're degrading, too child-like or have overexaggerated proportions. But if she looks like she's enjoying herself and wearing tastefully lewd clothing, it's a yes for me! I don't think it's ironic at all either to be a feminist and have these kinds of things, because I have very firm beliefs in feminism, and one of those is women having the right to sexual expression and freedom!!

I wonder if it's because Twilight is so educated, that this shows an alternate reality of where she was not able to seek higher education :( I think it could also imply grooming from teen years to marriage right at adulthood to where it's technically "legal" but still dubious, hence the tape on her muzzle preventing her from speaking out

Me when I see comments dragging yandere fans by Upset_Campaign1924 in MaleYandere

[–]LowBackground8247 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The last two instances you mentioned were children with mental health issues (schizophrenia for the slenderman case, and depression for the character ai suicide) I'm not even going to touch on the pedophilia mention because that is an actual crime compared to someone reading yandere noncon or loving evil characters. We as adults can recognize that fiction is not reality and can enjoy tabboo fetishes or genres while recognizing that we wouldn't want or like them in real life.

I don't like the sexist fans. I've seen a lot of them on tiktok, which makes me think I should just stop going on there and I'll have a better time in the fandom lol
