@fiveluvbot I tried to keep it as objective as I could but that’s what I found as well. It seems that mistakes were made but they weren’t necessarily malicious. Whether people feel comfortable supporting him after reading all that is everyone’s choice.
@erve_03 my reading comprehension is.. poor if i must say, but does the thread mean that they didn't do anything particularly 'ableist' and just misunderstood a few topics?
this is part two of the explanation of the Robert Sheehan situation. Please read part one before reading this. (btw if you read this without reading part one for some reason I am speaking as an autistic person)
In this thread, I will go over
- everything that Rob said in the episode of earth locker
- the history of r-slur and the context of Rob's use of it
- the lack of response from him
- Woody Allen and me too
If your tl is like mine, you have probably seen some of the discourse about Robert Sheehan. As someone with ASD, I wanted to put in my two cents.
This is an essay of everything with the full context. Please read this to make an informed decision on whether to cancel part 1/2
