A documentary about Tourettes, Race or Race + Tourettes might make a difference to audience understanding. The light entertainment broadcast of an industry awards event absolutely doesn’t
What are the chances the BBC / BAFTA did risk analysis for Tourettes based on their usual editorial & legal guidelines, totally failing to consider emotional implications + duty of care? The whole thing smacks of decisions made by white & non-disabled / neurotypical teams
The BBC’s own editorial guidance even prohibits the broadcast: https://t.co/G9oVUYS06l
“Justification for the use…requires that there must be a specific editorial reason why it should be used, for instance, where it might make a difference to audience understanding…”
Another note that I've said before this (seriously, I've written a LOT about coprolalia due to the intense stigma), coprolalia isn't a kind of Tourette's. It's a social construct medicine uses to describe certain tics. As someone with it, it's not even the framework I prefer fr.
I hope Adeliia Petrosian is okay. She deserves safety, protection & should be so proud of how she electrified the competition
Meanwhile her coach is a monster who berated a sobbing, drugged teenager & is accused of starving & abusing other children #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026
Olympic skiers are like “I have 2% body fat. I train 23 hours a day. I have had 87 surgeries” and Olympic snowboarders are like “I have smoked this many drugs today” and they hold up their hand which is in a mitten.
For a character that is meant to embody knighthood and be one of the best persons in the asoiafverse I love that one of dunk's characteristics is that he's a big time liar
