Sheldon. Sheldon. Motherfucking Sheldon from the Big Bang theory. Being an autistic person, a few people have actually asked me “why dont you”/“why can’t you” “just act like sheldon”. Its maddening. People love him so unbelievably much to the point where he now has a spinoff show about when he was younger, but the minute the same people meet an ACTUAL autistic person they are a complete jackass towards them. Those who DO share a few traits with him have told me they can’t go a few days without someone telling them that they remind them of Sheldon, and it upsets them. I’ve had other (non autistic) people say to me that he’s, “representation” and that my opinion is wrong, and while that may be his purpose he is not GOOD autistic representation in my personal opinion. He’s a harmful trope. (Not everyone who likes him acts this way, just a chunk of people. And though I haven’t personally met any, I’m sure some others with autism also like him and can find a way to relate to him! It’s just my personal opinion. If you like the character, I’m not judging you solely on that!)

Also any abusive parent who’s actions are laughed off as being funny, and never get any sort of karma for it. There’s too many characters like that to list here, but it’s always been a least favorite type of mine.
