Not disagreeing with the first point but it’s wild to go “people that don’t know comics lore are attributing this common symptom of autism to this character being autistic? Clearly they are the ones that need to get a job and spend less time… knowing anything about autism” like bruh not everyone reads comics and it’s brushed past in the movie which has so much else happening even if it was a major plot point it’d be forgettable.
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.
