Neurodivergent people don't need a third off rail fares. What they need is a government that doesn't try and offer a token gesture that actually fuels the fire of the misconception that all people who get a neurodivergent "label" do it to receive financial benefits.
cat has said she was exhausted and really overwhelmed by the time she was eliminated, it’s quite despicable to weaponise someone else’s autism to judge how another autistic person is supposed to act (especially when this is just a reality show!!!)
I wrote about how The Traitors contestants treat disabled contestants back in 2022, but predictably, the problem is now with how the public thinks it's okay to be disgusting about disabled people. Just more proof of how they've been turned against us by the media and government.
Im sure she was mad at him. I won't deny that Michael putting the focus on James probably contributed to him having a panic. However, I'm not going to be mad/hate on Michael for doing exactly what hes supposed to do in the game. It's not like he planned for it to go down that way
Big week to be a longtime James Acaster fanboy. Aside from being an actual genius, him being able to deliver this message in *this* forum is an example of why
The entire £83,000 #CelebrityTraitors prize fund going towards supporting refugees and queer displaced people feels bloody wonderful in such wretched times marked by fearmongering and inhumane politics – even more so knowing there will be many right-wingers enraged by that. ❤️
having basic human empathy for a autistic person struggling isn’t infantilising and that even crossing your mind tells me either, you’re ableist and lack empathy or you’re the one who sees james and/or autistic people as less than or childish cos why would that cross your mind
people wondering why james a wasn’t there…MAYBE BECAUSE YOUVE BEEN BEHIND SO HATEFUL TO HIM OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS?? and the papers have been making the situation worse by speculating. i hope he’s okay and is being supported by his family ❤️ #CelebrityTraitors
@HeIsTheCuz On top of that, one is a lighthearted panel show that is taping for an hour or so and the other is a multiple week long social experiment that literally plays The Hunger Games soundtrack before Round Tables to immerse the players 😭😭
aside from everyone pointing out he’s not told a lie on WILTY yet, Traitors isn’t even necessarily a show about lying if you’re a faithful
not surprised all this ableist hate for James is coming from people who can’t pretend to understand the show, let alone ND
@kailahsangel Need I remind you that autism works different for every single person that has it? You cant just disregard his very clear signs of an autistic breakdown simply because Cat didnt have them
@jakey38@TECHN0BOYTOY If you'd actually care you'd know exactly why he had to call the samaritans on bake off but noooo rather take things out of context to make it fit your hatred
people are talking like james acaster actually murdered someone in their own family. this country just has a seething hatred of seeing neurodivergent people in the public eye.
