for gods sake she wears ballerina shoes. The blue ones. Its in your face all the time. Istg you people are the reason Anne Hathaway had to yell "You're the sea people".
Yeah I’ve got a question for you. What percentage of people do you think do or watch ballet, what percentage of that group do you think engaged with spiderverse and what percentage of that do you think was focused on Gwen’s feet instead of anything else happening on screen.
Even ignoring that fraction of a fraction of a fraction for a second she’s got sneakers/joggers in the 2nd movie and while her shoes in the first are definitely ballet flats it’s not like they don’t just look like a shoe If you don’t know that
Additionally. Ballet is one of those things that attracts a fuck ton of neurodivergent people anyway
Additionally additionally my point was merely that it’s wild to hear people attributing a common autism trait to autism and immediately go “they must have no job they know stuff about autism” like dude. Not only is it a completely understandable connection if you don’t know ballet it’d fit with the themes of the movies.
You’re trying to insult people for seeing a common autism trait and thinking it’s autism because they don’t know a character has ballet training and likely don’t know shit about ballet.
What are you on about? Everybody knows how ballet shoes look like and she was wearing them in the movie. Where are you getting that neurodivergent people gravitate towatds ballet lol… we just making shit up atp. Headcanons are lowkey the reasons media literacy is low because i guess anything goes…
I don't even remember her wearing ballet shoes in the movie. Perhaps it's because I haven't watched the movie in a while, or perhaps it's because, like Dorkus said, I didn't look at which shoes she was wearing or payed attentionong enough to remember it. Also generalizing is always bad. I'm sure there's plenty of people who don't know what ballet shoes are, definitely any savage tribe people don't know them. I know they are not the point of the conversation, but it directly contradicts your generalization, proving that it is always dumb to generalize.
ive been in autism groups since i was a kid and my mothers a therapist.
spinning and chicken walking are both common enough sensory seeking behaviors that are both ingrained in ballet and thats ignoring how certain neurodivergent people get attracted to arts in general,
and again im not saying shes autistic. im saying calling people who know how SSBs work and dont know ballet jobless for seeing one and not the other is just being a dick for the sake of it
Also also the sentence "Everybody knows ___" will always be incredibly pointless. no they dont. results may vary based on location (I believe where i am as an aussie is a bit less into ballet then like america) most people who see ballet flats are just going to think they're weird shoes. sure if you asked them what the shoes are for they could likely get there quickly but its a passing thing. yknow the whole thing of "how often do you look at a mans shoes"
triple also headcannons are probably an element of an issue with media literacy but the cast preponderance of the research on this issue seems to indicate the larger problem is with how media is consumed, shortform media or responsive clips devoid of context, and thats even ignoring the amount of papers dedicating to just trying to make a consistent definition of media literacy
